Indoor Pop22's 2015 Indoor Garden

Uh oh Pop with new toys, watch out folks! I have been meaning to check in on your Kratky setup. Because I really did consider doing it to start my next run of autoultimates. The reason I didnt is because while I think it is sustaibale and a perfectly viable way to grow and you will get great results, I dont think they get the added benifit of forced oxygen. My plants outgrew my space at the 45 day mark to where I couldnt get in my room, so I didnt want to chance it and start them and have them only be half the size. The question I have is what do you think the max yeild potential is with a 5 gallon Kratky like you have? When dialed in perfectly do you think they will progress even closely to DWC?

Believe me I am a big proponent of oragnics and hydro and this is a perfect way to do it IMO and I think you will see some of the most flavorful best tasting smoke ever. I will be doing it when I get my house built in the spring and it will be for my persnoal use lol. Oh and believe me PH pen issues SUCK! I all but killed a grow due to my pen being outta whack, but live and learm. I will quit rambling now, Keep up the great work and I cant wait to see what your new light does for your already
great garden!

Derek420, I agree, this is not a technigue to grow record breaking sized plants. But, from what I'm seeing, I've no doubt at all anymore that you can grow some great plants this way. I'll be updating the mini Kratky thread later today, I think you'll be inpressed the growth. 5 gallon Kratky coming up soon, then we'll see what she can do. I believe it will match any soil grow and may come close to DWC, though I doubt it will match it.

Might try one of my DD x Cheese in it. You see my DD x Cheese that’s growing in soil, so we'll have something to compare it to.
 
Update:

Things are going well in the garden. My big DD x Cheese is flowering finally. I counted 60 budsites this morning! I'll post a pic of her later, Going to set up the good camera for that.

The ESD Kush is looking rough. My fault though, this shows it doesn't pay to rush when mixing DWC nutes. I'd added baking soda to raise the ph and I tested too soon. Ph in the bucket was 7.1!! I gave her a fresh bucket, properly ph'd.... hoping she recovers, its a beautiful plant.

I have 4 Auto Cush x Chemdoging sprouted and 2 more in 8oz cups about to sprout! I soaked and sent to paper towel, 14 of my Auto Cush x Chemdoging seeds that ranged from green to parially brown. I had a 50% germ rate and tossed one sprout. Pretty good from seeds not fully ripened!

And I have the honor of growing an exciting new strain form a private breeder. That already nicely sprouted seedling is: Yoda's Dragons Breath. I'm very honored and excited to be growing this. I'll split off a thread for her after this.

The cabs are humming right along also! My Dragon Kush is about a week from harvest. She is almost one solid bud from top to the stem base!! 10" tall, I'm betting this little girl is going to give a surprising harvest for her size! I'll do a guess the dry weight for rep points when its done.

And my DD x Cheese cross is looking very good also. She's got 12 nice buds building! Not consider, she's bigger than my Dragon Kush, and in a pot 1/2 the size! She's in a 1/2 gallon pot growing in recycled organic potting soil, amended with a tablespoon of GrowMore Organic soil Builder. I've given it water with cal/mag once. All else she's had is RO water. In a pot next to her is a very little Stone Dragon. She went into flower when I went to 12/12 with the lights, to trigger the DD x Cheese, which didn't auto. Well guess the SD wasn't auto either...lol! I figure I'll get a bud about the size of a peanut M&M...LOL!

In the veg cab, my Kratky buckets are looking real fine! Mini 2, with the Sour Dragon in her, is flowered and building buds! Looks like she will turnout real nice. Might be a real tribute to this method, we'll see! The SD on mini 1 is doing well, but she too got dosed with the fresh res mix that was ph'd too high. I took her out of the bucket, and in a glass of RO water while I adjusted the PH in her bucket. She's now at a stable 5.8. Hopefully, she isn't too damaged, she really looked like she would be impressive for a plant growing in about 20 oz of water!

Also in that cab is my entry in the beercan growoff. She's small but very nice growth going on.
There are 2 mystery plants from my jar of mystery seeds from last summer's grow. A suspect these may be Blueberry Headband x ( Fire x C99 x 18 )but I'll never besure in the cross. The BBH traits are distinctive though when in late veg. The color is a dark bvvlueish green, very striking when you see it.

And last, and not in the picture are 2, 8oz cups with Auto Cush x Chemding seeds that had sprouted in a paper towel. Waiting to see if the finish sprouting.

Wish I had that much grow space heh.
Subbing in on this one man.
 
damn pop, is your grow room 1 acre?lol sound's like you got a full house

LOL! 4'x4' plus my 2 cabs. Just wait till I get my new light! I like a growroom that looks like a jungle...LOL! :Sharing One:
 
Finally got a couple pics og my big girl,. I've named it Durrty Cheese! She looks quite different now that I LST'd her and now she's in flower. Look at all the buds sites on this plant! LST. All those tops were branches below the 4 tops ( I topped her a couple time to control height )...lol!

sorry the pics are crap today, my phone is tempermental...lol!

Durrty Cheese is by the way, growing in a 3.5 gallon pot in organic soil that was amended with about 4 tablespoons of GrowMore Organic Soil Builder. I've given her Cal/Mag once. All else she has received is RO water.
 
damn durrty cheese is humongous!

The tops I bent over were at 39". I just stuck a yard stick in the pot, the new tops are at 36"! Got lots of room though for her to stretch all she wants. What I'm hoping is that I'll have to buy some plant yoyos to hold the buds up.....:pighug:
 
BIG change in the grow room! I installed the 900 watt LED growlight just a few minutes ago. OMG its bright, makes the 300 watt light look dull!!! Looks to be more of a flower light, which is fine with me, that’s when you need the power. Lets see how my DD x Cheese like this!!
