Currently my seed is in it's first day germinating in the rock wool. I have a 400 watt metal hallide for the veg, and 400 watt hps for flowering. I'm using the general hydroponic's 3 gallon dwc bucket with general hydro's flora grow, flora micro, flora bloom, floralicious plus, and rapid start. I also have h202 28%, and some cal mag.



I plan to put pictures up throughout the whole grow, and any advice from the lot of you would be great. I have the feeding chart, but its not for autoflowers. I figured I would put in a little bit less than what the chart reads, but I'm not sure on what the best amount would be.

Thank you very much. I just did that now. I figured it would be reduced. Should I wait till after the first week it sprouts out the rock wool to apply the nutrients? That is what a friend of mine said I think, but I just want to make sure I understood him correctly.
 
Nice choice with the Black Cream!

It's a popular grow at the moment! I've just started 2 under a 250w hps and i'm watching a couple of others too!
Seems like we'll be sharing info as we go!

I'll be keeping my beady eyes on this thread!

Love the strain, but alas I won't be of much help with anything hydro. I'm a worm.

The black cream just stood out to me when I saw it, and it sounded like it would be good for a first try. I have another seed, but I wasn't sure if I could handle two at a time for my first grow. I'm gonna keep an eye on your black cream than ha. Im sure I'll learn something.

Yeah my friend uses soil, and wanted to learn about DWC so he figured why not help me get started. It seemed interesting so I decided to go with it. I do plan to try a soil grow at some point.

Oh and thanks for the welcomes.
 
Hey when exactly should I begin to apply nutrients? It hasn't sprouted yet, but I'm just curious. Also if anyone thinks I should get anything else that isn't to expensive let me know please. I'm willing to put the work in for the results so please anything else I should have as a beginner?

Would it be a bad idea to put a little bit more of the ph adjusted water on the rock wool for germination?
 
Wait til it sprouts before adding anything, is it already in the system yet? I'm assuming you have a pH/ppm meter, it's a must specially for hydro. I'm not familiar with GH nutes. I start out with 1/4 strength for seedlings. How is you starting water source, pH and PPM?

Edit: should be fine, don't let it dry out, but don't soak it.
 
I haven't gotten a ppm meter yet. I was going to wait till it sprouted cause the hydro store is literally a block from my house hah. I have a tester kit for the ph of the water, but its liquid its not a meter or anything. Should I get like a digital meter?
