Seed/strain.. grass-o-matic, maxi gom
Method.. Oxypot(dwc)
Lights.. 2x 125w cfl growlights + 400w hps for final weeks
Nutes.. Ionic- formulex, grow, bloom, boost..
Water.. from tap. 250ppm..
Growspace.. 8 square foot corner cupboard.

Hello my auto loving friends..
Iv currently got myself a grow goin on.. Grass o matics maxi gom. I chose this strain cuz iv seen a couple of nice looking and yeilding plants(seymour 3oz) there just doesnt seem to be enough reviews on this so here I go..
The seeds were a nuicense to germinate they were rock hard!! Even once they had broke n sprouted they still refused to lose there shells.. All is good now and my chosen plant has been transfered to the oxypot and has been growing for seven days under 1 blue 125w eco-light.. I had a little problem with leaf burn on day 3 (cfl's get hot) but she recovered and is looking like my best ever plant for day 7
My nutes are at an ec of 0.8(which dropped to 0.7 in week 1) ph has crept from 5.8 to 6.1.. all seems to be workin a treat, the root growth has been crazy in the past 2 days. So im gonna give it one more week then ill be adding the red 125w maxibright cfl to the cupboard..

Ill be puttin pics up as soon as I work out how too

Put ya feet up and enjoy the grow as she unfolds..
Peaceout..

thanks ripster.. your hospitality is very comforting!! im new to autos and kinda new to dwc.. i have a little question allready lol.. my water ec is 0.5 straight from the tap, after 2 days of declorinating with bubbler it just go's down to 0.4.. iv started my nutes on 0.8 and all seems to be going ok, just didnt know if this was a bit high and if water ec is to high to start?? i really insist on not spending a penny on this grow so i dont really want to be buying water or ro-filter cuz my base ec is to high..
thanks again..

peace

DAY 9..

hello all.. had my dwc oxypot going for 9 days now and im really pleased with the progress it hasent grown tall by no means but over the 60mm it has grown there are 3 super tightly packed nodes allready visable, with prolific leaf growth.. first leaf had three fingers(correct me please i know there not fingers) second five and third is definatly lookin like a seven 'finger' leaf..! root growth is just amazing, i accidently left my solution tank heater on a couple of days ago for one night and the roots loved it.. is it possible some strains like hotter roots?? temps must have been at 28oC, but over that night magic happend that i have never thought could! i love my oxypotiv now got res temp of 22oC.. iv put nutes up to 0.9 using 1/4formulex + 3/4 ionic grow, this is all trial and error for me, it all seems healthy so am i right to increase ec 0.1 on week 2 if she looks good??help ph is keeping nice and steady rising from 5.8 to 6.0 over the space of two days..
over this grow i cant help but compare myself with "seymour" i look up to him, he has these pots dialed perfectly..using some advice of his i have gone and treated my pot to a new twin outlet airpump and 2 round airstones, my pump now puts out 7.3 litres per min-400ish an hour(which is 4x as much as standard oxy).. in my comparisons with him upto day 9 i think im doin well, now im past the slow and painful start were going to be seeing some real progress.. 4 days till i add the red 125w cfl to the stealth corner unit...

hope you like the grow peeps.. comments, questions, constructive critisism and help is always appreciated..

enjoy the pics.. the difference in root pics show two days growth upto day 9!! all the rest are day 9..
