Hi,
This is my first Hydro grow. I am day 24 of veggie.
I have 4 plants going all from Female seeds. 2 Ice and 2 bubblelious.
my res is 2 gallons and I have 3 42 watt CFLs vegging in the 18"x"18x3' box.
The Closet is 2'x4'x7'
ppm 500
PH 6.0
I am using GHF for nutes with super thrive, and bat guano.
Last week I push it to far at 1000 and no nutes were being taken in for a couple of days. Did a res change with just straight water with a ppm of 10 and ph of 6.5, They perk right up again. Showed a ppm of 100 and a ph of 6.7 after an hour. This morning, I tested and showed a PPM of 200 and PH of 6.8
I bump the ppm to 500 and lowered the ph to 6.0
Before I got the female seeds i was experimenting with bag seeds in soil. I did get 2 of them to take off and grow quiet well, but the 2 that lived, Hermie on me so out they went.
The closet is not quite setup, need to get an exhaust setup for the 400 watt HPS light for Flowering.
The grow is in the basement and I have central air. Temps were not that all of problem when I did the winter soil grow with the 400, But I have a feeling I will have heat problems this summer.
Here they are at day 17 veggie.
And here is what they look like right now. With a couple of soil bagseeds that I am going to put out side next weekend. Little cramp, but they are doing ok.
There are more pictures in my photo gallery if you want to check them out.
some pics of the Hermies, closet, lights, nutes and other things.
I welcome any input.
In an addition of the exhaust fan having to be put in to the closet, I am looking into some type of CO2 system. I will be doing this manually.
So Roseman, Chicago Joe, Crazy, and others who's journals I have been reading and replying to, Here I am.
