Sounds like you have a pretty complicated grow going on for your first time, dont worry though, i was the same way. Did 5 white widow, 5 purps, and 5 thc bomb my very first run with a cpvc drip system and a ten gallon res. Needless to say only 5 plants made it to flower and they where no where...

6-8 oz is a little high for ten plants with only 1100 watts. Put your buckets in rows of two side by side and get that light up off the floor. You'll get better light penetration and more overall light will be taken in because the plants aren't spread out. If you look at you set-up you'll see...

Strain of those plants is defiantly not indica. skinny leaves is a tell tale sign of the sativa plant. they will grow taller then indicas, less bushy, and produce a way different high. These plants are not 100 percent sativa though, maybe 10-15 percent indica but best bet would be Sativa/Indica...

Clonex is probably the best stuff around. Very easy to use and ive always had a high success rate with it.

Just wanted to say that 6.0-6.5 is high for a ph level. Ive been growing for a while now and there is alot of mis information on these particular threads. Ideal ph level is 5.8-6.2 being the highest. Just dont want some newbs getting bad info from the start. good luck with everything guys

Marijuana plants can actually be flowered as soon as they sprout out of the ground. There life cycle is completely based on light schedule. Some people will grow ten plants at a time close together and get an oz per plant but it only takes 2 months. You can flower anytime you want but its best...

Although i am not a fan of ff three part i have had good luck with open seasame, cha ching, and big bloom. I actually had my best yeild ever using the powdered form of those three growing a auto flower of all things, got just under 6 oz dry. its the plant in my default picture.

I use 6 in net pots and the roots will grow through the net pot within the first few weeks. All your root mass ends up in the buckets and fans out. Always make sure your water level is right below your net pot and doesnt get to low. When roots stretch to real the water level it stresses them...

Im also using a 400 watt apollo dimable ballast. had it about 2 years now and its gotten me through 5 harvests now. Just wanna know what you think about the light and if youve ever taken it apart and noticed melting of the wires and electrical tape on the inside.?

Good looking plants with healthy looking roots. your right about big buckets being a waste of nutes and space for the first month so theres no reason to use a 5 gal. No plant will be rootbound within a month in a 2 gal bucket. It is a bit harder to stabilize ph but its worth it in the long run...

That is def a heat issue. If your humidity level is to low the leaves will dry and curl alot quicker as well. try keeping your temp down and spray the plants with just filtered water once or twice a day. Also watch your ppms, one of the biggest problem in hydro is overfeeding because the plants...

I started something similar myself my first grow with 5 white widow in a 30 gal tub filled about half way with a drip system only mine was dwc with a recirculating drip system running 24/7. only problem was the roots started to tangle with i think stunted growth, still got about 4 oz each plant...

Fiming is your best bet for your setup. Topping can cause stress but very rarley will it turn your plant hermy. Fim at about 3 weeks then again about two weeks into flowering. This will not only keep your plant a little bit shorter but also make it very bushy thus giving you more bud sites per...

Ive found that in Dwc when you start your plant in a smaller bucket it will grow much faster and healthier. I veg all my plants in a 2 gallon bucket as opposed to my 5 gal bucket i used to use. With two air stones in a 2 gal bucket you get a way higher dissolved oxygen level which makes the...

Looks like seed balls startin to form from the picture so its probably male. Only reason i say that is becasue female bud sites tend to be raised on a tiny stem when they begin to grow were as a male seed ball will grow right out from the plant which the pictures depicts. I could be wrong but...
