Hello 420magazine! This is my third grow. After an amazing journey in soil, I've decided to make the switch to DWC.
This grow will be confined entirely to a 2x2x4 tent using 1 Mars hydro 300w, a 3.5gal bucket with a 6" net pot lid, and an 2w eco air pump.
I will be using advanced nutrients pH perfect GMB, bud candy, big bud and overdrive. My water source is tap, 7.8 at 150ppm. Despite the claims made by AN, I will ph my mixes.
To protect roots from potentially warm reservoir temperatures, I've got hydroguard by botanicare and flying skulls z7 2 part water treatment.
I am growing a single Christmas Cookies from a regular seed. I understand that I may potentially end up with a male, I am fine with that and intend to harvest pollen for future projects. I also would like to learn the ins and outs of hydroponic growing to have greater confidence when I start throwing feminized beans in cubes.
Anyway, upon arrival Saturday afternoon I threw this baby into a paper towel and was met by a root the next morning. She was then transferred to rockwool and left on a window sill. Sunday night she shed her seed, and Christmas morning I was met by her waving at me hehe.
The cube was then placed in the net pot at half depth and gently covered in hydroton. The nutrient mix was added until water level was roughly 1" from rockwool. I plan to top feed lightly around the rockwool cube until roots hit the red, at which point I will gradually lower the water level.
This is my first hydro grow. Any help, comments or criticisms are encouraged and accepted hehe
Merry Christmas and happy growing!
