First time ive ever posted, Just have done lots and lots reading and looking at pictures. Lots of good info here. Been following the Deep Water Culture for ahwile. I wanted to stop by and show you guys some pics. I am on my 2nd indoor grow, Here are a couple pics from the first grow. It was in an aerogarden just to test the waters of growing indoors. After I harvested I upgraded a bit. This is done in about a 2' W x 4' L x 5' H Closet.

Thanks Roseman, You were a huge part of this grow and last grow. I read and used alot of your tips and tricks..

Can you reveal your member name from "over there" ?

 

[Berry Knot]

ha. Same member name. Never posted there either, Just lots and lots of reading. Following your grows and a few others. If i had a question I would just search for it and usually find the answer because someone else already asked.

Never posted pics of my first grow cuz I figured they werent worthy enough to compete with all your guys grows haha. This Grand dadddy still doesnt compare to your guys grows.. But id figured why not and posted anyways..

 

[Roseman]

Man, your grow looks like a jungle that I would be very proud of!

 

[Berry Knot]

Thanks Roseman.. My goal is to get a quarter pound, Not sure that I will. I should get 3+ OZs, I would be happy with that. 4 plants, Mainly just 2 big plants. There is roughly 18-20 Tops and about 8 of those are nice size. so we will see...

 

[Roseman]

I'd bet you get much more than 4!

 

[Berry Knot]

You think so Rose? I under estimate alot, that way im not dissapointed. I would be stoked to get 4+..

Wow, those are looking real tasty. It is obvious that you did your research! Congratulations on such a great grow!

 

[Roseman]

I can always tell when a man did his homework and study up front!

 

[Berry Knot]

wow thanks guys. Means alot to hear it from you. I didnt think I was doing as good as you guys make it sound. Means alot. Its been a long but fun learning experience..

Cant wait to start the next batch, trying only 2 plants next time.
