Hey Guys,
As you may have gathered from my title, that this is my third grow and my first dealing with any sort of hydro setup. Time to get my feet wet.
To start I was originally going to do one soil, one hydro bucket, different plants so it wasn't a comparison or anything, just doing two plants. Buut, the soil plant (la confidential) was having issues from bad previous soil and the transition to an ok plant is taking too long for my liking, so I snagged up a second clone from a local dispensary, purchased a second bucket setup, a new air pump to power both and new air stones. So this is where I currently stand.
2x 3.5 gallon buckets
2x tops with built in net pots
11 liter bag of hydroton - lots to spare
4 medium round air stones 2 per bucket
45 liter per minute air pump (could easily supply 3-6 buckets with air)
Nutrients:
General Hydroponics - floro bloom, micro and grow
dynagrow protekt silicate additive
For transition and late flowering MOAB (mother of all blooms)
Might add more as the grow goes, but this is what I need for now.
Lighting: Currently CFL but will probably be moving to a 400 watt hps if I can.
And my grow area is a 24" deep x 32" wide by 60" tall grow tent.
Oh and Picture time
Clone 1
OG skunk: 4 days old. Showing many roots through the bottom of the net pot
Clone 2
Rocklock: 2 days old, no roots yet but the plant is getting new leaves so it seems to be getting fed alright
Both plants together:
My new air pump, I'm pretty sure it could physically force so much air into my old pump, it would burst
And my nute closet, my hydro nutes and my dirt organic stuff Might grow a little fruit tree or something on my patio.
I'll keep things updated as often as I can and I have some plans for the little LA conf plant sitting in soil, will be making my own cloner most likely
Oh and if you get bored you can check out my last grow, I didn't journal it well, as I only got everything posted when I was right near the end of the grow but the whole 2 plant soil grow is here:
Wheatbrans second grow
Hmmmm Maybe I should make a signature some time
