Hello again, and WELCOME to everyone! I am so very pleased to finally have enough going on in my space to make a journal.
Now before we get started, I want to tell everyone a little bit about what has happened in my space since about
Mid-July.
My very first grow was attempted over summer, and you can see that epic failure in my other thread (which I'm only keeping on the forums as a reminder) if you want to submit yourself to it. But I'm sure the curiosity bites, so here are 3 images that sum up my first grow.
I know what you are thinking. Something along the lines of, "Good God what is that THING?!"
That thing is what my father and I dubbed "Herman". He was our very first plant; kept alive as a test to see if we could. He is the result of all the bad things that can happen to new growers. I made a list of mistakes that I made during Herman's life, and here it is.
1) Never buy expensive nutrients from a hydro store without having a plan for what to buy BEFORE going in. My father made the mistake of placing trust in a Hydro employee who basically emptied his coffers for over 1,500 worth of nutrients, which thanks to Doc Bud, are now USELESS AND A WASTE. (I'm still a little bitter about this because, had he listened to me and asked me before purchasing those nutrients, I could have saved him alot of money)
2) Setting up and maintaining a working hydroponic grow is stressful and they are prone to problems.
3) Trying to mix nutrients and having to Ph that shit every feeding can be confusing depending on your state, and can lead to mistakes being made.
4) I could have saved time by killing off Herman earlier and starting a High Brix grow sooner.
So in the end, Herman's water line became secretly detached, and he died after 3 days without water. That plant was alive through hell for almost 4 months, and died from something so silly. I knew halfway through that grow that it wasn't how I wanted to do things.
ENTER DOC BUD - STAGE LEFT (This is where to good stuff happens)
I somehow missed all of Doc Bud's high brix threads in my research, and I had modeled my grow after (the now absent) "TheCapn".
Now things are different, and so, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomuch better, all thanks to Doc Bud and his High Brix Disciples.
Check it out people.
Nutrients: Doc Bud's High Brix Kit (The Future in Bottles)
Light: Modified Double Veg Spectrum PlatinumLED P300
Training Style: Fluxing (Pioneered by Light Addict, and thanks for that btw LA)
From start to present in pictures.
THIS IS WHEN I GOT MY PLATNIUM P300
So at this point, everything is AWESOME! These plants around almost 2 months old from seed. I can't wait for what the future holds for me. I think that High Brix is how all first time growers should do it. It's SO easy. I still think that thought every time I look at these plants. So low maintenance.
Thank you to Doc Bud, Curso, Light Addict, and pretty much anyone who has a high brix thread up right now. All of your experiences are gold to us new guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
