First grow (4000watt ebb and flow, rockwool)

great thread.

Let us know how much you pull, looking great so far.

any updates?

Gotta say, for a first time grow you sure have bitten off a lot. But everything seems to be going well. Props for that...

Hello,

Sorry guys wasn't able to access RIU for a couple days.

End of week 8 flower update (day 57)

No changes from last week. For the next couple days I started flushing with just ph'd water, the reason is because I never flushed the rockwool this whole time, even though there was no problems and the fact that I ran out of the bloom formula. The next update will be after harvest and drying.

wow this is nice fat nice buds man cant wait for harvest and yield report

Hello,

So I have cut, trimmed, dried, and de-stemmed everything (extremely long and tedious process). After trimming I hung up the buds attached to the stems to dry for 72hrs at 40% humidity and 66f. Then I de-stemmed the buds and laid them out for an additional 36hrs. The end result was 3170 grams or 7lbs of dried bud. This has been a great learning experience for me even though I started out a little big. If anybody is interested in replicating these results these are the 2 threads that I basically got all my information from, thanks homebrewer and everyone else who contributed valuable information and advice:

http://Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 grow)

Also the strain was the Great White Shark from clone and there was 42 plants in total. For my next mission I will try to make my own mother's from seed and if I succeed I will start another journal with a different strain.

grats on the harvest these look yummy

your first grow and you pull damn near 2 per light. well done.

amazing stuff definitely reading your recommendations, im planning on adding another 1-2 1k lights, this looks epic!

One of the best grows iv seen FUCKING DANK!

If you don't mind me asking how much was your electric bill for each month? I'm planning doing a setup similar with maybe 5 1000hps...Maybe 15 plants to each 1000

Amazing run! I think I may have to copy you How does it smoke?

Whether you run recirculating or dtw, rockwool prefers top drip (you rocked it with e&f). Dripping essentially flushes any salts out of the blocks on a daily basis.

looks like im done with soil and going with ebb and flow. stellar job
