 First grow log: Clones from bagseed in homemade Ebb and Flow 
#295489 - 10/11/09 05:57 PM (15 years, 3 months ago) |

This is my first grow log and first hydro grow. I am growing two Ice and two Bubblegum seeds from www.marijuana-seeds.nl. ; They are gonna be living in a homemade Ebb and Flow. I made one small modification to the system and that is add an air pump and stone by running the air line through the overfill port. I'm still waiting on my light to come in: 400w Lumatek ballast with a Sun System air cooled hood and a Phillips Son Agro 430w HPS bulb. Until the light comes in I am using 220w of mixed CFL's. For fertilizers I have a Botanicare Triflex sample pack with Liquid Karma that I got for free. I will probably use Technaflora once this is gone. Only thing else I really need is a TDS/ppm meter and a tent.

Not much is going on yet. I germinated the seeds on the 9th and 3 have fully sprouted and the last one is poking out.
  
And here is my second flush of Penis Envy starting to come up.
Edited 1/30 to change title from Ice and Bubblegum. They were all males and now I have clones that came from bagseed.

They are above ground, so you're off to a good start.
I'll be watching 
I have a an ebb and flow set up but I need a reservoir cooler before starting. One of the problems of living in the sub tropics.

The mushrooms were WBS spawned to coir, coffee, and verm and then cased with a light layer of verm. I have been using this in smaller casings for years with great results. First time using a monotub and I happy with the results so far. 2 1/2 oz from the first flush.
The last plant is out now. Not going to bother with a pic since it looks about the same as yesterday. The first two that popped up are already starting to show there second set of leaves.
On a bad note, the ballast that I ordered came in damaged and very used looking. The owner the shop I got it from was a complete ass saying it's impossible for that to happen. After some arguments he is going to swap it out for a new one. Now I have to wait about two more weeks to get my HPS up and running.

Here is an updated shot from today. Still nothing too exciting. One of my ICE plants seems to have stretched a little and is a bit top heavy. Should I support it up with a toothpick or something until it gets stronger?
More updates soon.

Yup currently using CFL's. I swapped out a few of my 2700k lights for 6500k lights yesterday. I have 4 27w and 1 65w at 6500k and 2 42w 2700k CFL's now. They are about 2" under the light's now. I have the lights hanging from yo-yo's now and move it up to take pictures.

Dr. S: I love how overprotective we are of member's grows.
I was going to say the exact same thing about the CFL's being closer until I read his post about moving them for the pictures, and you remember the pics in another thread where the buds were being dried on a dehydrator tray and we were like: "whoa, don't use a dehydrator!"?

Day 9
These plants are growing very quick. It looks like they might be getting nute burn slightly. I just got my TDS tester in and the ppm is reading at 470. PH all I have is drops and it is somewhere between 5.5 and 6.0. It's hard to match up the colors unless you have a good white light to use. All comments and suggestions are welcome.

10/22/09 Day 12
I think the nute burn I thought I had is actually a deficiency, not sure from what. I changed the reservoir out for the first time last night. I added Botanicare Triflex Base, Grow, Liquid Karma and Sweet at half strength. PPM is at 700 and the PH is between 5.5 and 6. I also increased the floods to every 3 hours instead of every 6.

15 Days old. They have really started to take off now that I have the nutes figured out. My ballast should be here this week and then I can put the 400w HPS on them. I'm probably going to start flowering by next weekend depending on how fast they grow.

Quick update. Two showed male preflowers and were pulled. I still have one Ice and one Bubblegum left. It looks like there are female preflowers starting to show up but I can't tell for sure yet and to small for a picture. I'll probably switch to 12/12 on Wednesday when I change out the reservoir. Here is a few pics from today.

Update time. Not to much going on with the plants, they are getting noticeably bigger every day. I switched the lights to 12/12 Wednesday at midnight. No definite signs of sex yet. I still see what looks like female preflowers forming, but can't tell for sure yet.
My ballast finally came in yesterday so I scrapped the CFL's and finally have my HPS up now. I also picked up a tent on Friday. Should have planned a little better though, the tent has holes for 4" ducting and my reflector is for 6". I still need to get an in line fan and will probably need a filter too pretty soon.

I'm not sure if the tent manufacturers have options for vent sizes or not, but most reflectors now seem to have 6" vents. I'd say its time for the tent makers to catch up.
