New Grower First hydro grow!!!

[spikerbiker]

I am not an experienced grower, I grew autos twice in soil several years ago, but my cabinet was hacked together and not stealthy as I need it to be now. Fast forward several years, I purchased a prebuilt grow box, because I am not handy at all and have no time. I am a female and just never learned tools. I took the day off work today and assembled. Even that was a challenge lol.

I ordered 5 different stains from seedsman and will pick what I'm going to grow when they arrive. Or I might grow some leftover seeds from 3 years ago since this may be a big fail! Will be doing those hopefully next week.

I want to show the cabinet to start, the hydroponic set up was confusing and it also has an auto ph adjuster, also confusing. The cabinet is 1.5 ft ×1.5ft x 3.5ft. It has built in carbon filter , led lighting. I think I have the equipment to grow in hydro but not the knowledge but I'm learning. . Anyway, here's some pics, I hope you follow along and all advice is appreciated.

1. Grow box before setting it up
2. Finished set up (almost)
3. Auto ph system
4. Brown container on top is water reservoir.

Cheers!

Wow! Prettt nice setup! Really excited for you. I’m not handy myself ... it would have taken me an entire day to put that together as well LOL. And that auto-pH? Really nice! I can’t wait til you get your seeds!

Thats a sick ass set up. Good luck growing. Use hydroguard in hydro, it will save you from nightmares (root rot). What nutrients you using? In a set up like this its best to grow the same strain and start them all at the same time. If you have different strains that like different feeds of nutes it's hard to dial stuff in. Say one plant likes higher ec/ppm, and a different strain gets burnt by that much nutrients. Then you gotta lower your ppm. The plant that could handle more nutrients now is getting under fed. See where the problem lies? You could do multiple strains, it would be much harder to dial in though

I'm totally jealous though of your grow cabinet. My set up is very basic compared to yours. I wish I had a automatic ph adjuster. Haha, that's dope as fuck. But I grow in single 5 gallon buckets only 1 plant per bucket so that wouldn`t work for me. It may be basic but as you seen my pineapple express. It works and it works good. If you have any questions I know alot about deep water culture hydroponics. Ask away. Hydro is where it's at.

Very nice little cabinet. I almost went with a similar system but decided to stick with what I know for now. Good luck with the grow and wish you success.

Awesome setup. I dig the high tech vibe. I’ll be keeping an eye on this. Good luck and happy growing.

Thanks everyone for checking in before the seeds are even in! I'm thinking about growing either pineapple Express or girl scout cookies this grow. I also purchased Blue Acid, White widow, and stardawg. I already have blue mystic, jock horror, northern lights and bubblicious. So many choices! I just hope the seeds make it through customs, if not, I'll grow jock horror. I'm only growing 2 in this setup, I should only grow one but I need a backup!
