Okay so im new here, im Gmoneys nice to meet you all. so i just went and bought everything thing i need to build my bubbleponics grow system. i researched for about a month then i decided to go with it. im waiting on some "the black" for bc bud depot and some "purps" from thseeds. untill then i have a regular old reggie miller seed i planted in some shitty soil and it grew like 3 inches, then when i set up the bubbler i planted in there with a peat pellet and some clay pellets. i have two airstones. a air pump, and a cheap ass 75 watt flourescent bulb for now, in a few days im gonna go get a 125w flourescent with a refelctor for $80 bucks. i put tap water in it and balanced out the ph. i put the set-up in my laundry room where my dryer used to be, so its right next to the dryer vent that leads outside. thats good righ?the temp is around 75-77 and the humidity is around 47-50%. the light is on a 18/6 for now. when do i change it? when do i add nutes? anything else i should do or get or add? please leave your opinions and comments or questions. here are some pictures of my setup. thanks in advance. so the pictures dont work, i dunno how to upload it says security token missing...???

First off can we see some pics under the lid. ok u need to cover the net pots and grow medium (or the medium will start to mold) with hydroton, so lift ur plants up some and make sure no light can get in to ur tub, or u will start to grow algae, and most likely u will get root rot.
also ur grow medium looks very wet,how many times it get watered and for how long.

As for nutes, first off how old is the plant? Day 1 is when to broke out of its seed. All nutes r different, u can have nutes in ur system right after germination, or most peps wait till 2nd week. If u email ur nute manufacturer they will prob say after germination, but to b safe i would wait till week two and then just add 1/2% of the weakest dose labeled on bottel

i started the plant in soil then moved it to the bubbleponics system. i have 2 six inch airstones. working. i fixed it now. so no light goes in. the plant is only on its second week. next week ill add nutes. it had one set of leaves in the soil and now in water it is growing another set. right now i have everything on 24/7. this is just a test run with some seeds i had from some left over shake. thanks.

Make sure your fill up your net pots or cover them any light getting to the water will be bad and give you nothing but trouble

hows everyone, gmoney here long time view first time grower!

okay so my air pump broke and it was only sending air through one of the hoses. so i went to wally world and got another one along with 2 12'' air stones.

i also changed out the water cause i didnt like it. and i wanted fresh water,

i germinated 5 seeds in some jiify pellets and let them sit in a tray on top of my cable box(cheap heat blanket) they all popped up in 2 days. nothing special some regular bagseed.

i planted them on valentines day and moved them to the set-up on wed, this is how they look now.

i aslo changed the 24/7 light cycle to the 18/6 now. so there awake from sleeping last night.

day 7.

any advice is greatly appreaciated!

oh i was looking at them and they all in one way mutated or deformed...lol its the cheap bagseed. i think.

I would read up on growing with cfl's. People suggest you keep them like an inch from the plants, to minimize stretching. Nice little setup. I have that same pump! Super quiet. Good luck!

:joint:

ITS ON WEEK 3 OF VEG.
16/8

IM GONNA GO FOR 2 MORE WEEKS.

THEN SWITH TO FLOWER.

ANY SUGGESTIONS...

OH I HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE OTHER THREE PLANTS AND JUST DECIDED TO KEEP THIS ONE.
What happened to THREE plants ?

Just one now from 4 ?

I just got done vegging the other day for about 5 weeks and 1 day I think... went well.

The only thing right now you have to worry about is making sure what happened to the other 3 plants doesn't happen to your lone ranger one right now!

PEACE & REP.

Never such a thing as too much light... Maybe too close of a light, but you're fine. You could do 10 times that with CFL's and you'd be humming.

Squeeze the most you can out of that plant... I'm not sure what the best method is for 1 plant. Hopefully an expert will chime in.

Peace & Keep it going man!!!

Okay so this baby just had to get used to its new enviorment. I thought i fucked it up by moving it to a new container but she just needed some time. Shes growing like crazy.

Okay so i have this weird problem..i dont know what it is...

I dont think you can see it in the pics but some of the leaves look weathered like all wrinkly and some are turning up and others are perfectly fine.

My light isnt too close i know that.

The temp is an average 77 and humidity is 50%

i dont know whats wrong..anyone ??

Anyway happy growing.

Smoke summin biiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!

like to say it looking goo but humidity should be none when you have the lights off becauseif there no humidity the leafs coat it with resin plause temp should be 15 degree cooler so it can the smaller the leaf the better the smoke the bigger the leaf less resin doesn t mean bad smoke but not as good
