Welcome to my Journal
Let me start out by saying I am a
HORRIBLE Gardner. Most of my shit dies. Outdoors, I'll plant 3 pots of cukes, 3 in a pot into 3 hills (9 F'n plants) and maybe get 15-20 cukes. My folks will take one pot, divide it up into 1 plant per hill - 3 hills, and get over 100 cukes.
So I decided to go hydroponics. I never even heard about hydro till Nov when i was reading about the new MA legalization laws. But reading about growing weed and Hydro was very interesting so I was hooked.
So here is the basic of my grow equipment
4x4 tent
2 - Mars Hydro 600's
4 — 5 gal buckets for DWC. 2 home made. When I was looking for parts I found a grow store 3 miles from my home so I bought 2 pre made Buckets.
Rapid Rooters
Fox Farm for hydro Nutes.

Our Journey begins on the evening of Feb 4th
-2/4 — 8:00 pm - All Seed soaking in their own glass of WARM Water
-2/5 — 6:30 am
o White Widow (Nirvana) and AK-47 sank with a finger tap 10.5 hours later. The other 2 did not.
o Gold Leaf sank by 8:00 AM the other White Widow did not
-2/5 — 8:30 am - Planted seeds in upside down Rapid Rooter and put in small Dome. Put in tent on heating pad with lights out.
-2/7 - 6:45 am — 2 sprouted - AK47 and WW-Nirvana
-2/7 - Early afternoon the Gold Leaf sprouted with helmet attached
-2/7 - Moved the CFL over the germination hut. It was about 10"- 15" away. Cord was too short.
-2/7 - Turned on LED and left at 47" for about 6 hours. Dropped it down to 36" before I went to bed.
**edit* WTF was i thinking? why was i doing this in my tent? It was a CFL with a clamp. I could of done this anywhere and got the bulb closer.
oPut drops of water on GL casing and a little spit before I went to bed
-2/8 - I pulled of the casing with my finger
Here is a picture with her helmet on.
The 2nd WW never sprouted.
Pic of my 3 first born. (
**Edit** why did i use LED lighting for this pic?**)
2/8 I soaked another White Widow in a glass over night.
I had to move the other 3 gals to the DWC buckets so i could use the dome. (
**edit** this is a lie. I put them in the DWC before dropping sowing that 2nd WW. Was I drinking?)
