week #2 and a half. Ive never grown hydro before so i wanted to start small... also wanted to see how little energy i could produce some thick buds with. So im trying this.. its 6 43w CFL's with 2 LED Blue/Red panels... to produce a good veggin' spectrum and also a flowering spectrum. The total wattage is less then 290 watts all together and produces over 17000 lumens over a larger area (covers over 6sq. ft. concept of the board)... I'm using the NFT. Hydro with a air pump to bubble the roots the p.h. is around 5.9 ish. I'm using gh for nuts.. I'm still waiting for my tds pen (damn you ebay) so my plants had a few small deficiency's but think they cleared up once the air pump came.. Ill post updates as we go, 1st time ever growin hydro... whoo wee.
