I need to know what my mothers are farthers already dammit!

On a side note, Make sure you flush every 2-3 weeks and check run off weekly! Good flushing habits will rid of the salts and build up, and get ph back up to there peak nutrient up take levels. I have no PPM when making my watering w nutes mix. Its on its way after saving up some dough.

Good to hear you got that pH back up. That was same problems I had with the happy frog soil. I had only used it once, and will never use it again.
Depending on the PPM you are watering with, how much nutes your plants are using, etc, you may not have to flush every 2-3 weeks. I actually only flush for the last 10-14days and don't have any problems, other than when I used the happy frog.
Once you get that PPM meter, you will be able to check the PPM of the water going in and the water coming out. This will let you know if you need to flush. If your runoff PPM is fairly close to the water going in, then there is no need to flush as the plants are using most of the nutes. If it is WAY higher than the input water, then you need to flush because there is a buildup of salts.

Plants are showing strong fast growth. Going to be taking clippings for clones in about 2 weeks. Need to finish my flower chamber and poly film the doors.
Changed the Ventilation. Added a 6" can o fan connected to the new 600W Cooltube, running into the Veg room into the 400W and out the two rooms. Then I took the 4" inline blower and put it on the fresh Cali Ocean Air pushing air in "4 inch hose, one to each chamber(flower/veg).
Added a 2'X4' flood table for the ebb and flow setup for the flower chamber. Its got a 25 gallon res for my juice. Got all House and Garden nutes. Hopefully will be able to buy the same setup for my veg room. But not a big priority. Truncheon TDS / EC Meter Pen too for measuring PPM. Finally......Anyways, thats just some of the things for the following Belladonna harvest! Will keep ya updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you're finally gonna take a run at hydro?

did the bella run a while ago. There is a pheno that really has a funky smell that's hard to describe (petroleum distillate smell). It has super resin production and you will enjoy it. I actually just cracked 3 belladonna beans and I'm hoping for a female. You will love the smoke.

Yea man! I just want faster growth, auto feeding, and ultimatly larger harvest, and got the 600W and used the old 400 for Veg room thats the same size. Hydro is the way to go bro! What do you use?

Awwh man, you don't know what you just did to me. Its bad enough I look at them 2-3 times a day wonder what there going to smoke like! I can't wait to flower them already.
But yea, thanks for the info, I'm glad another person has tried it! It's going to be a ton better then my bag seed grows Im sure! Thanks for stopping bye, come again please.

Deep Water Culture (DWC). It's just bulletproof.
All you have to do is keep your ph straight (which is never an issue for me), watch your ppm, and make sure your airstones are pumping out plenty of bubbles.
Other than that, I just sit back and watch.

Last Winter I was waiting for my Bella buds. They smelled just so great and I had to smell these bad boys while I smoked some Mexican brick weed with broken shells in it. It was hard to wait for them especially when they turned all sugar coated like.
Good job on the DWC thing, I'm still doing soil.

Second day working on the different chambers. The Veg chamber is just about done, needs one more layer of white paint, Mount oscillating fan, and cut out the 4" out of the sheet rock, and blow fresh air, and Velcro the doors shut with Black and White Panda Film.
Then I have to complete the Flower room. Still need to mount the 4" blower, and y it off to both rooms. Then setup the ebb and flow, and organize the wiring and ducting and what not. Still have to plug up an old 4" hole up top. And seal them off real good. Then mount a wood panel for all my wiring and timer and extensions. Once its all done, will post some pics of the new setup.

Nice dude, I just registered just for this one 
I'll be starting belladonna for the first time soon, the seeds are already 6hrs in the cubes Do tell if they have a strong odour when you put them on flowering, because I just moved from a big house with a big basement (yaaay ) to a small appartment and across the hall there is an ex-policeman so I don't want to take any chances. Good luck!

Pixel, pretty much any strain you are growing you are going to need some sort of odor control. Especially if there is an ex cop right next door.
