First Grow - Of All Systems Possible - Except Outdoors

[JohnWA]

i build all of my own. That one is a top drip method. I think the neat little quick setup they use, but to me...its not the same if I buy a setup...I'd rather have hands on building mine

Good looking out though!

 

[JohnWA]

if i was going to give any advice on setups, id say ... buy an aqua farm, check my sig,growth is phenominal wish i had more space to add a few lol

how much did you pay for that thing?

 

[TaylorMade420]

this is my first time trying hydro, seen so many grows with em pulling of crazy yields, and i must admit im lovin it right now growth is crazy

 

[TaylorMade420]

60 quid, its a drip feed system but ive modified it into dwc with a 1200l per hour air pump cost me another 20 quid, its like steroids for plants

 

[TaylorMade420]

the top pot has 30 litres of clay pebbles and this is after 5 weeks veg the pot is 50cm sqaure and 50 cm deep

and the real wonderous part is if you put a bigger base on it, the top will grow bigger.

Got any more picture updates for us buddy?

 

[JohnWA]

sure, do. I had a slight mishap yesterday with my fogsetup. I let too much water collect in my humidifier so it stop working and didn't notice til this morning. So I put water direct to medium, fixed the humidifier and getting ready to take pictures.

They bottom branches were drooping pretty good.



Pictures to come within minutes!

Should I be trimming the dead off of these?

 

[JohnWA]

some people are probably wondering wtf is going on with the plant on the right in the 3rd picture. It was close to death and I trimmed all leaves oof except for the uppermost in order to try and save it. It's new leaves are coming in slowly but surely.

i would not use the halogen flood lights, i used them for cheap lights over my fish tanks previously. the light they produce is not useful to cannabis plants.

 

[Maxximilian]

Go Go ladies!

 

[JohnWA]

as of yesterday I removed that light and added it to my fog

 

[JohnWA]

adf it. I mean added the fixture. not the bulb.

Good move, have not heard good things about halogens.

 

[JohnWA]

should I be trimming the dead off the leaves, if its at the tips?

 

[KingJohnC]

you can safely cut away the yellow and burned portion of the leaf.

is there an advantage to it?

It's totally up to you. You can leave them to fall off on their own, with no ill effects. Or you can cut the damaged parts off. Or like was said you can fully remove the leaves.

All depends on how you want to grow

is there an advantage to it?

It may encourage new growth. It will stop it falling off and creating a habitat for pests.
