Rider509: Two Thais & G13

You have never really lived until you drop four 8" net pots full of unwashed Hydroton on a black porcelain floor. Did you know that as they roll they leave little rust colored lines? That's useful info in allowing you to track the outliers from the initial explosion. FML.
And FMDog.

When I'm not growing I can turn the lights to 11 and use the tent as a Crematorium.

I was thinking the same thing. They have strong root systems. So if not tonight they will go in the tent in the morning. I don't really want to set up the top drip system again. Did you have to hand water until the roots reached down? And if so, for how long?
The water reaches 1" up into the Hydroton and I have air in each bucket so I'm hopeful it's enough.
 
I put about an inch, maybe two of hydroton in the bottom of the pot. Then I set the plant in with about an inch of the root laying on the hydroton and held it in place while I filled the pot around the sides. Between the water touching the hydroton and the wet air from the air stones they will be just fine.
 
Fucking brilliant. And nice way to start a grow. I mixed Grow into the res at twice the strength I'd intended. It's a 40gal system. That's financially painful and a huge waste of time, and just generally annoying. On the bright side, I get to do a practice run of draining the system. Oh joy. Rapture.

Acceptable growth so far. Twelve days since they broke ground on Oct 29.

Smart to put red solo cup over the plastic ones lol
 
@Fsanti1226, welcome! Glad to have you aboard the crazy train. :)

I didn't get the chance to get into the grow room until midnight and I was exhausted. I'm just glad that I caught it or in a few days I'd be wondering why the hell my plants were burning up.

Good morning All! I'm off to drain a system! Hahaha.
 
Just looking at the picture and thinking back to where we started 11 months ago...wtf have we done. :high-five: Its so far beyond "I think I'll try to grow some cannabis and see what thats all about".

No kidding, SD! That "try everything and if it dies, oh well" attitude served us well. We learned a few things, like... cannabis is a tough plant that'll stand up to just about anything you do to it.
I hope that holds true for the transition to hydro for these babies. The next few days will tell the tale. And if they don't make it, oh well!

Got the system dialed in and fingers crossed.

So the Samsungs are on the back two and the Crees on the front two, which plants are which?

Just an observation, but my Mack locked out at 700 ppm with the GH Flora trio nutes. I had to drain and add straight water in week 4 and 5 to get them to start drinking again.
