Days later…

Hey all,

I’ve been at this a little over a year and have learneda crazy amount through pushing myself and just doing while continuing to research and read all I can. I started with ILGM ww and my first two grows were just that, first grow was shockingly gooddespite somehiccups, second grow was going amazing, I increased my variety and tent size to a 4x8, and then a 5 day power outage wiped most life in my tents and aquariums shortly before harvest. It was prettty devastating, hundreds of fish and corals, some of which I’ve had and propagated for well over a decade.

Frustrated and considering giving both up, I did the only logical thing, converted to hydroponics… This beginning of this journey starts there!

I researched hydro a little, kind of just used my aquarium knowledge and did my own thing. Plus, I already had buckets and PVC.

I popped almost all the seeds I had left, and a couple weeks later…

Things are going well, these girls instantly started growing with wild abandon…

we’ve got…

1 ILGM WW, two in coco that were started before the hydro plants, and three destined for hydro.

Around this time, heavy defoliation and lollipopping begins.

WW coco taking off and being fed with water from the system daily.

Also, a little before this, three younger WW’s are transferred to their new homes. One in the main system, one to be added a week later. One to sit in stagnant water and low light throughout the grow.

A week or so later… Maintaining around 60% RH, 75f, 1100ppm with flora trio (started at 500 in RO/DI). By the way, the system has no air, just RDWC minus bubbles.

Also, since I have breeding aspirations, I want to practice cloning, so I start throwing some of my cuttings in a pan of water, despite hearing how autos can’t be cloned, over and over again… Or that they can be cloned, but it’s pointless…

The two WW’s

Amnesia #1 was starting to really stretch, so she got moved to the 2x4 where some runts from last grow we’re finishing
