nice grow mate good start,
just one thing, ive seen ppl iuse h2o2 and heard some not so good things with it too, if its just about removing the chlorine and chloramines, t get pure water ya dnt wana add more chemicals,
the organic approach is easy and cheap,

all ya gota do is remeber chlorine can bubble ff within a few hrs, but chlormines cant, as chlorine mixed with amonia needs to be brken down first,
so to do that all ya gta d is put some organic matter...ewc castings or some soil , into a stocking and soak it inthe water,
this will release the chloramines int ammonia and chrloine, then bubble off chlorine and the ammonioa can convert into nitrates to feed the plant liek done with aquaponics and fish poo,

33% of the chemicals get released at the water exits the facucet, some people think boilign water is good,, not so, when you boil water you are increasing them deadly fluride levels to a dangerous water, sterile...but not good as floride is the reason ya dnt swallow toothpaste,

all i do to remain organic and clean water is
stocking the soil and put in the water and bubble it hor 2hrs,

the tap ec reading normal is 0.56 and after this it normaly down to 0.32 leaving only trace of the amonia left which isnt bad,

simple and clean and cheap.

also ya could look at brewing aact ewc teas, amazing breeding micrbes to millins to beneficial bacteria on the plant they wil thrive t the max ive seen grows with only tea fed to them yeilding silly 6foot trees

all ya do is get
mollasses,maxicrop kelp 2tsp,ewc egbiobizz humus, and you drop some soil in the water to remove the chlorines etc, then drop all the other goodies in and bubble it for 36 hrs, if it smells soily then its good to go millions of beneficial microbes strain and feed

nice grow mate, defiantly done your research!

Thanks guys for reply,
Before i even try to built my grow box, i'v been reading all forums i could find on the art of growing your one medicine, for me, it's a mean of intensifiing my creactivity, since i'v been painting ( about 17 years now) i realised that this incredible plant as the power of unloking my brain and creative prespective. Only recently i realised that i could infact grow my one stuff, but i whanted something fast... so i'v come across with these new incredible strains, the autos, and i new...

AutoHeath , I just use H2o2 becose it works by releasing oxygen. It acts as an oxygen supplement for plants. It seems to really support both good health and strong growth for plants.
I found this in: http://www.using-hydrogen-peroxide.com/peroxide-garden.html

Welcome to AFN! Looks like a nice little setup you've got there. Since this is your first grow, I'm going to move your thread over to the New Growers forum. Along with Joe Dirt, I moderate that forum. We can better help you get through your first grow and make sure it's a success.

yeah its just adding a chemical that can have other effects too, not saying your wrong ice seen alot of gd grws using it,
but i did a massive experiment with fluming, airstones and h2o2 and the fluming releaqsed more oxigen cheap and safe http://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-forum/showthread.php?58309-Flooming-vs-Air-stones
check that link out it explains alot, my friend baught a do meter for £150 and did alot of messing around,

the only thing that feeds my system now is 1 pump reciculating and in 42 days i got a 6foot tree with no defieiences no air stones nothing

i know your in soil, but fluming the water directly before use will do the same, also have ya sen them air pots? they airprune with oxygen in the holes releasing more roots to compensate and the plants grow alot faster with a more formed root ball and ooxygen close,


just a lil knowledge to share with a fellow medicator, and whatever ya doing its working the day by day pics thing is amazing, great idea its unbelieveable the growth ver 1 day gives,
id love to to them timeline videos where you see in 5 mins the seed to chop life speeded up


will be watching this god luck dude

 

[Rastafisherman]

Thank you AutoHeath, i'm going to do some research one the mater to see if i can do it.
Can you guime some quik guide on how to fluming the water?

Nice input

 

[AutoHeath]

yeah no problem dude, need any advice im happy to help ya,
simply get yourself a submersible pump like a 320 or 500 something pump fr about £5 quid on ebay, if ya cant find one ill get one up there cheap as,

and then place it in the water and let it pump the water up, it will form a jelly mould shape in the waters top,
,
if ya got a 10 liter bucket put the pump in a 320lph will do it but more is beter ofc, fill it up,
place the stockign with some organic matter in liek a teabag,
put the pump at the bottom and you will see it moving the water round fast,

the oxygen is taken as the water surface is disturbed,

peopel use airstnes too but there not effective there only sale they also produce pathogens like pryithium an airborn spore, root rots its other name,
fluming is 100% safe simploe and works amazing

this is a normal jackhere, from seed, i germed her into a cube, and when the first 2 leaves opened up i put her ina netpot, no rots out yet, 1 week in the system and this is what i saw when i lifted her,

i got 4 plants like her from fluming, where as when ive used h2o2 and before this airstones, ive never seen roots result so masive so fast,

the plant developed somuch faster too,
my friend whos is in soil, uses fluming on his water, for 24hrs beforehand, and he said he'd noticed dfference in plants alot,
