High Everyone.
My primary hydro system: I'm using a "bastardized" version of the Titan controls "Flo N Gro" system. Instead of buying the whole system, I bought the controller, a 6 site upgrade, and purchased/fabricated the rest of the pieces myself (pumps, reservoirs, fittings, etc.) Basically, it's similar to the CAP Ebb N Gro, but with 4 gallon square pots with square net pots inside of them.
Here's a link to the review I did on the Flo N Gro:
Titan Controls: Flo N Gro Review
Also, I'm experimenting with having a separate small veg space, and I have some cuttings I took when I topped the group of plants I have in the Flo N Gro.
The nutrients I use primarily are the 3-part nutrients from sponsor Blue Planet Nutrients. I encourage anyone on the fence about which nutrients to try to give them a shot. You can't beat the quality, value and service.
Blue Planet Nutrients (3 part formula):
For lighting, once seedlings have matured to veg stage and beyond, I run(2) 400w lights (MH for vegging, HPS for flowering). About 53 watts per sq ft, which should be pretty adequate. They are Hydrofarm hoods, and I am using digital ballasts to drive them: (1) Galaxy, and (1) Lumatek (which is adjustable down to 250w which might be nice for early veg...)
In my small veg space I have a 2' 4 bulb T5HO. Currently this is being used for the cuttings I took.
At the moment, I have 6 plants in the tent. Most are regular seeds, and I will not be flowering them all. They are:
(2) Jack the Ripper TGA Subcool
(2) Pandora's Box TGA Subcool
(1) Deadhead OG Cali Connection
(1) OG Kush Reserva Privada
Additionally, I have a Super Lemon Haze in a "Smart Pot" with Coco Coir.
I topped the plants in the tent about 8 days ago, and have the cuttings under the T5 to see if I can get them to root. I used Rapid Rooters, Clonex solution and Root Tech gel. Some of them were pretty small, but it looks like at least 4 of the 6 should make it barring something odd happening.
SfttailPaul - There is a lot of good info on this site, but it can be hard to "weed" through... 
Sounds like you've got a heck of a set-up. Somebody here said once, "Marijuana might not be addictive, but growing it sure is!" Couldn't agree with that more. I wish I had more space - oh what fun I could have! 
Thanks for helping Alaskan1 with that Jandre, I agree completely.
I leave a household (oscillating) fan going in the tent just circulating air, too - and that stays on during lights out. It basically circulates the air by blowing right underneath and over the hoods. It's one of those long skinny fans - (tower fan?) that I have hung upside down from the support bars on the tent ceiling, in the corner of the tent - it seems near perfect for how I use it. Because it's long and skinny it doesn't get in the way, and I can raise and lower my hoods and the long skinny fan is still blowing under the lights, if that makes sense. It's got a pretty weak low setting and that's usually where I leave it - just enough to keep hot air from building up under the lights during lights on and provide a little circulation 24/7. Like this, kinda: Holmes 31" Oscillating Tower Fan
I struggle with coming to grips when it comes to my health every day. I spend too much time mourning what I've lost in terms of physical activity. I hope I get better - I need to let it go a bit though for now. Good luck, and sorry to hear about your health issues, too. Take care, and thanks for dropping by my thread - hope you stick around!
Hi everyone -
I spent a ton of time this morning making a new thread with my most up to date recipe for making Cannabis brownies (or anything using cannabis infused oil).
I had another similar thread, but it was outdated and had a lot of much to sort through to get to the improved part of the recipe. I tried hard to organize this well and make it easy to understand. I can tell you this much, if you follow my recipe, you'll make some really killer brownies!!!
Before creating the new thread, I followed each step myself, and spent yesterday floating in the clouds. If you've ever wanted to make pot brownies, this works fabulously. I used a 1/2 cup of finely ground sugar leaf shake (just over 1/2z when weighed) but you could use less or more... It's a great use of my trim leaves, and there is nothing like a near all-day high that you get from good edibles.
Anyway, the recipe can be found by clicking this link:
