22/f First grow DWC/CFL

Ok so this is my first grow here goes nothing.

STARTED OUT WITH:
450 watt worth of CFL
10 Gal res w/ 6 net cups
MG veg and bloom nutes
one double window fan

OK so the nutes are not that hot but they came with the system.
I have since ordered new GH nutes that should be here any day.

Here is the first few pics of the set up.

double window fans rock, i was using one to vent my 400 watt setup for a while did a great job keeping shit cool even when i only had one side on

OK so i had two plants that were in cups for a little to long. im still giving them hope and will put them in the system to see what happenes.

I have also germed 6 other seeds and put them in. they are all going to go in the system and i will pull them out as needed until the finally few weeks when i will only be picking 6 to flower.

they are on a 18 on 6 off timing

looking good, i think im going to get one of these systems

BTW this system ROCKS!!! it was very cheap and the builder is VERY willing to help. IF you would like more info on how to get one please let me know.

ok so here are some updated pic of how my grow area looks.

I used two science project boards to make a nice WHITE box that my system fits in perfectly.

Then to make sure the light stays in i make a half top usings come old cardboard and then put the double fan on the other half. so far this has worked pretty good.

Woot Woot! time to get growing. I told you that you would be growing in no time. I hope you have a great grow. Best wishes!!!

OK so my sicko Plant don't look to great on top but, they are showing good root system improvments on the bottom there for i have decided to let them stay for now lmao.

here are a few pics of the sickos:

ok my purp is now a week old. only one of the two popped up so i planted 3 more. but this is the one that did come out and she looks GREAT! doubled in size in two days.

Took first pic today and the second was from two days ago.

Ya, umm ok so i don't know what is up with this one. it looks like the leafs are crunch but they are not. it is very healthy keeping up in height with the other ones and it is also nice and green. but the first set of leafs are retared......

anyone ever had this happen? im goin just let it grow and see what happens. i can see new growth on the top of it and from what i can see it looks ok.

i jus picked up som 100w cfls are they any good..?? an where can i find good nutes i wanna try hydro wit my first run totally clueless been reading an watchn vids have som knowledge i need a og's help... thanxx puff an imma pass 1

lol will im a noob but you should try Genral Hydroponic nutes i just ordered them and alot of peole seem to use them. ya i like my lights i have 450 watt worth of bulbs in my box but ill be adding more for flowering.

new to the site also have you guys seen the $20 150 watt hps from econoligt look it up u should think about these with some side cfls. just a thought

going to be doing one of these setups real soon going to be watching yours closely for good ideas. ill post mine when im on my way. gotta get some good genetics first looking around.

ya but walmart has 150 watt for 10. but for like 8 bucks u can get a four pack for 100 watt lol so after i got the first 150watt i went with the four pack which brings me to 450 not to bad for my tiny little grow box.

I went with Genral Hydroponic because a good friend of mine uses them and his plants rock! lol i was also told that you don't really need the grow nutes just the bloom and micro. i have a great site i got a quart of bloom and a quart of micro plus a free 1000 test PH kit for 38 bucks shipped!!!!!

its happened to me a few times back in the day with bagseed, it should be ok, but you may want to move it to a different container when those two get big they will choke eachother out

hay sweeteyez no matter how much cfls you put in that box u will never get the intensity of the hps and for 20 bucks u really cant beat it. the reason i say this is because lumens dont ad up just more even coverage so no matter how much cfl watts u add the lumens will be the same. more intense light more tight buds. look it up one the site some real brainy guys can exsplain it in more detail. ill be tunning in. light that shit smoke that shit pass that shit
