Indoor Just got my first hydro grow on a roll.

Thanks man. Give me tomorrow, and I'll put up some pics of the Controllers I bought. One controls the heat/AC and the other controls the humidity. Instead of having the AC running all the time the controler keeps the room between 72 and 78 at all times. The humidity controller is more for the mushrooms, but I may use it toward the end of the grow if the humidity gets high. My light STILL hasn't come but I picked up a cheap 400 watt HPS, and a 250 MH off of Craigslist for 60 bucks. Couldn't pass that up, lol. I put the two reflectors together for the hell of it and now I've got 650 watts on the 3 TD's, the 1 Skunk, and the unknown Female. Just cheap wing reflectors which keep the ac running as much as it's off so it's a temporary thing. I'm not wasting anymore effort on the others plants until I can build a cabinet to sex them. All they get is indirect light for now. I did a flush on everything today, and 10 plants and 46 gallons of coir took 150 gallons of ph'd water out of my day. I'll never get that time back, lol. If I come into some money anytime soon I'm flipping back to DWC. This shit is too much maintenance.
 
Lucky! With that much light you should be getting several good Oz's. LOL... and I find growing with soil or Compost less maitenance than the DWC. But I have to admit my Blues are bustin out with bud everywhere with this DWC grow. Guess I found the right stuff to grow with this time. Don't think I'll do this again I really don't have the space for it, think I'm going to stick with just 2 plants and that is it. You really didn't waste the time, look at it as an investment into what you are going to get in return.
 
The first female plant I've ever grown.

Started in coir and moved to DWC. Still some coir in the roots, but they have exploded.

Brother showing off the roots. They looked like shit 3 days ago. It's easily doubled with all roots putting off feeders.

Yup, that's what it looks like, lol.

Got the new 600 digital dimmable drenching the TD's, Skunk, and the lst'd girl. 72 nug bag seeds. All sprouted.

Turned this one into a nice bush, whadaya think?

Just keeping her in line a bit.

Everything I use.
 
Damn, you got a nice little setup going there. those plants sure have gotten nice and big should be pullin something nice from them soon.
 
makes me wana do a dwc run i had fun
 
Ok, soooo. I haven't really kept up on this grow, but it's coming to an end. I pulled two of the photo plants as I just didn't have the room, and switched plans as to what I plan to do. Really didn't have any use for em. Kept one of the Photo plants and SHE'S A BEAST. She began to flower outside, so I brought her in and re-veged her. Talk about bushy, and branchy. Gonna use her to cuttings. I'll eventually be moving to photo grows to save on electricity, and beans. i want a perpetual harvest, and photo's just seem more economical for that although it could just as easily be done with auto's.
I've now got a 4 x 4 flood drain table where I'm scrogging 5 TD's. Should be a massive harvest. They are at day 34 and have all passed up the other full grown TD's I had in DWC. I beat the hell out of my first plants making all the noob mistakes, and learned from them all. The difference was MASSIVE in growth when I put the 5 TD's in the Flood table with stable PH, Nutes, Light, Temps, and quit chasing ph. I may check it, but I only adjust it every 3 days give, or take unless it really needs it. Adding back nutes to keep EC where it needs to be, and res changes every two weeks. Flood for 15 minutes every 1 1/2 hours when lights are on, and once when the lights are off which is 5 hours a day. Lights are on a 19/5 schedule. The consistency of everything seems to be key because the plants have exploded.
Anyways, this is about my 3 Think Different plants, and although I transplanted them a bunch of times, and made a ton of mistakes they are all putting of good nugs. They have all stayed about 2 1/2 feet tall so they are smaller than many TD's I've seen. They are around 80 days old I believe, and they have a few weeks to go.
Here are some bud shots.














 
:drool:oh damd thats a nice run, where are you at with your nutes, or ppm
 
Right around 1.2 EC (600ppm). I pushed up toward 1.5 (750ppm) a couple times during the grow and got a bit of burn. These plants were abused to a degree, and stunted a few times being my first grow so the plants are a bit small to handle more nutes than that I guess. I'm sure I'll be able to push my new plants a bit harder than I did these. I learned a lot on my first grow. :hump:
Thanks for looking.
