New Beginner Hydroponic Cool Cab Grow 2008

[Dweeden420]

My hubby and I are trying our hand at hydroponics. We germinated 15 Amsterdam seeds : 7 being White Buffalo Tatanka and 8 being some of the free Indica/Sativa mix you get free with our order. We are using a turn-key system from Sunlight Sheds called the Cool Cab 72"x36"x18" deep
The system comes with the 400 watt MH already installed and a 400 watt HPS to change during the flowering stage. It also has a seperate upper chamber for 24 light stage. The 14 plant hydroflora system incorporates both drip and ultrasonic fogging.


The White Buffalo Tatanka is a cross between Big Bud and White Widow and
grow difficulty is described as: moderate.

Looking very good dweeder, I like the cab it looks like a good efficient unit. Keep up the journal and the good work.

Today is Sunday 11/23/08 and the plants are cruzin...I will add a few pics in little while. By my estimation the plants have been in the cabinet for 2 weeks and 1 day. I am amazed at the size of the plants and the root mass. We are using Fox Farm nutes at ppm between 1120 and 1260. We are currently adding approximately 4 quarts of water per day.

lol, dont you hate that?

 

[Dweeden420]

Being new at this, could someone tell me why the leaves are so fat....

And is this a problem???

 

[bubblebagman]

Leaves on MJ get fat due to indica characteristics...Nothing to worry about.

Looks very good to me! What's with the fog?

 

[Dweeden420]

Sunlight Sheds says: The ULTRASONIC FOGGER turns your water and your nutrients in 15-20 micron water droplets that are rapidly absorbed through the roots. The smaller water/nutrient particles also allow for better oxygen exchange for the root structure. This item alone can increase root structure by up to 40%!!

Looking good....I couldnt see the pics earlier for some reason.....Do you use (rubbing) Isoprpyl Alcohol in your water?

No...should I be???

 

[bubblebagman]

I would say yes...its not mandatory....But it helps by increasing the amount of o2 in the water, it also kills bacteria and basically sterilizes the water....Excellent preventative against root rot....Just add a cap full of Isopropyl into your res, and adjust PH after if needed.......We dont want those nice healthy roots to get sick.

+reps for good luck.

Ok, now just a little more info if you don't mind, we have a 66 qt. res., you would put 1 capful for this size res., and how often? We are planning a water change after 3 full weeks, which will be Saturday would that be a good time to start?? or now???

these setups are really wierd. I've seen quite a few of these that combine a fogger, drip irigation, and deep water culture.

 

[flyfishinrock]

so thats what a fogger looks like huh? trippy, I thought you were blowin bong-hits at em to let them know whats coming!!lol Nice root system ya got there. How old are they?
