First ever journal, white widow tent grow

Hello everyone, I'm so excited. I finally purchased a grow tent from my local hydro store. The tent is 3x3x8, I'm using 28 gal rubbermaid container with 2 airstones with a dual line air pump, I made it to have 5 planters. Also have a water pump with 5 lines feeding into the cups. I have a 400 watt hps system with a digital ballast. I have a can 33 charcoal filter with ducting connected to my 400 watt hps light with glass cover. My can fan is connected directly to the other end of my light, and then ducting out the tent. Fresh air comes in through vents at bottom of tent. I'm also going to use c02 throughout the entire grow. I'm using a co2 tank and regulator. I will be starting with 5 female white widow clones, in coco ball meduim. Pictures of my setup will be up tommarow!!!!

I havn't grown using a bubbleponics sytem before. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good brand/what kind of nutes? I was probably going to use general hydroponics because I use that in my aeroponics grows and have pretty good results. Any suggestions/comments throughout this grow are appreciated.

Ok I finally have my fan and exhaust shutting off for 15 mins 4 times a day while my co2 turns on 4 times a day for 15 mins. I tried using 1/4 strength nutrient solution which i decided to go with ionic so i had domething to compare it to for my clones. My ppm on mt tds meter is 580. Anyone have input on that? to high to low?

pullin up a chair for this one, very nice! subscribed! check out mine somtime

So I went and grabbed some clones from a buddy 4 white widow, and supposebly the middle one is sensi star...we'll see. Ten temp is around 80 degrees humidity is 55% which is prob to low, ph 5.8, ppm for water leveled off around 500. The clones are still in rockwool with a not so good root system right now. I have them getting water for 1hr twice a day 12hrs apart so i dont over saturate the rockwool. Hopefully next pics my clones look a lil happier.

TY Scott...Checked yours out, looking good!

Nice looking setup bro keep it up!!!

Just saw your avatar and wanted to say whats up to a fellow buckeye! Good luck on your grow, it looks quite promising!

just stoppin in to see how ur doin, so how's is going? clones make it?


btw, i'm also a fellow buckeye

One out of the 5 didnt make it so I brought over a new one. My air temp is 83, humidity 50%. my nutes ppm is 450, and ph is 5.8. I have my pump for my system running 1hr on 1hr off for 24 hrs. new to bubbleponics so if ppl have other ideas for what my wter cycle should be let me knoe.

What are the numbers for the water your using for the res? ppm? pH?

What ppm were the clones using?

I mean what is the water out of the tap? Before adding nutes.

close to 7.0

What is the ppm?

Wow, I think you're in for some good things. I just harvested some White Widow myself. Check the link in my signature below for pics of the finished product if you want. Either way, I'll be watching this grow!

Hey thanks alot. I checked yours out, looks great, nice colas.

Anyone know if I can run my bubbleponics system 24hrs a day? I was going to switch to that, I dont see why it woukd be a problem.
