New Bubble Buckets Setup After 3 Years Break

its been 3 years since I been doing anything, hope this new setup works out better than the little 1m/sq box I had

2m x 2m x 2m tent, 2 x 4gal bucket with 40gal/hr air pump each,

ccfl to start off till I can afford the monster LED setup

2 x 230w 2700k + 1 125w 2700k for flowering

1x 125w and 1 x 230w 6700k for veg, which won't be for very long

first round 2 x white widow clones, 1 x ak47 clone, 1 x white shark clone

2 plant in each bucket this time, next grow will have 4 buckets and 4 pumps so the girls can go in individually

nutes are ionic grow and bloom

ph around 5.8, never had anything to monitor humid or whatever else, in the old setup I yield about 180g

they went in the bucket transferred from soil on the 9th

the AK and the White Shark are doing very well, with AK being the biggest and rooting a lot very quickly

the 2 widows are not doing so well, they are have the same nutes same ph

the widows seems to be getting nitrogen deficiency, I might just get another 2 AK in there to replace them if they not getting any better by Monday, however I switched them to 12/12 with 2700k bulbs anyway this evening, 125w on the widows since they are still the same size and not much improvement apart from looking the same, so didnt get any worst either, 250w on the AK and white Shark, tested lux output on the 250W it is getting over 25000lux at the top of the girls so plenty good there, temps around 28c lights on, only put in a digital temp gauge today with highest and lowest temp recording so find out tomorrow what it is in there with lights off, as the weather getting colder, I have day night switch over to help keeping them warmer when lights off.

I don't see the point using the 250w on the widows yet so I have a smaller 125w there for now :)

when it gets bigger and going well I move the 125w to the middle and add another 250w on the right :)
 
the root were not very healthy looking on the widows for the first 5 days, so i changed the res for the yesterday, at start, i forgot to get ph down so I used lemon juice the first 2 days to adjust the ph, looks like the widows didnt like it, after res change, the roots looks different today

AK and White Shark had a res change today with bloom nutes instead of the veg nutes


behind the net roots are coming along better now

Subscribed, I hope to learn some things from this one.

I don't know if you learn anything from my grow, I'm not too fuzzy with my setup, so I only test and adjust ph and monitor the room temp, that's how I always been doing it before and it worked good for me :) been DWC'ing since second grow and I love it :) a little rusty I must say after taking a long break :)
 
it might be a bit too quick of an update, but the AK47 is doing amazingly well, it was only 2 days ago I put them in to 12/12, and look what the AK47 has, and it has very tight inter-nodes too, apart from the lowest one being abit over 1cm away, the rest are under 1cm apart, 7 inter-nodes all together with the plant at 3.5inches tall, I can't wait to see it in 9 weeks :D

adjusted the lights again now bottom branches gets over 30,000 lux and top has over 40,000 lux, temp stay around the same at 26c to 28c

nutes are meant to be 7ml for every liter of water, this is their first bloom nute so I gave them 50ml with 17liter of water, they seems to be loving it :) vegged for 6 days or should i say I gave them 6 days to get used to the transplant from soil, then flower in 2 days, I love this clone :)
 
pulled the widows today, they not doing anything at all whatsoever, moved the shark to that bucket as the AK gonna be a bushy little girl in no time

looks like the AK could do with more nutes by now, increased it to 3/4 strength and see how it goes :)

moving the fan leafs and bend over :D expose all the inter-nodes :) since there's only 2 plants left, I'm gonna make this AK as bushy as the lights can cover :)

once ready for flower there will be 2 x 250w 2700k and a 125w 2700 in between the 2 big ones :)

with the pull down as much as possible, it should cover a nice size area....
