Texas Growers Unite!

Don't do H2O, but if you're getting Canna nutes then you must be using TX Hydro. I highly recommend Brite Ideas on S. Congress. Better selection, better prices, better people, and they give you steady discounts once you're a regular. Just my 2 cents, but at least check em out if you haven't yet. Troy's a good guy, and everything he sells is backed up with a warranty...all the way down to pots and dirt. If you get something bad he'll make it right before you can even complain. You won't find that at TX Hydro!

I go to TXHydro for Nuets and i dont really talk to or fraternize there, and i actually do know Troy informally... I've purchased my more costly gear there for many years and he does give a better discount. I know he sells the HG line and i may switch soon, but i think Canna gets me similar results as HG will, plus i live way north and never make it down south during business hours... but yeah i know what you mean, BriteIdeas is better place to shop than TxHydro anyday...

brite ideas is mos deff the place to go in ATX....but my days off are sun-mon and BI are closed texashydro ALWAYS tries to sell me things i don't need. shitty about TH being exclusive canna distributors. Troy (@brite ideas) has always made things right if i have a problem...the only problem @BI is that troy is fielding questions every time i go in, and he is definately someone who knows his shit, and is more than willing to try to figure things out within your system instead of trying to get you to switch systems.

I have two Rooms...

The first three pics are of Room 1, which has two 1000w HPS's over two 3'x3' e/f tables that i use as drip tables, i use rockwool slabs with canna nutrients. I also place some potted organic dirt plants on a stand between my two table to take advantage of the unused lighted space in between my tables...

The second to last pic is of Room 2 at 25 days into flowering... pic is in the dark on this one... this room has two 1000watt systems over an 8ft. homeade drip table.

My veg room (not pictured) is a 400w MH over a 3'x3' e/f table with plants in 3" rockwool cubes that get transplanted into the slabs. I use Flourescants and two 50-site cloning trays with domes for cloning my mothers which are under the 400w MH next the the veg table.

Pics of flowering below, these 3 tables are spaced about 15-20 days apart, it varies a little. But, basically i get two 1000w harvests and one 2000w harvest every 60 days, i average 1.5 lbs per 1000w. I am growing what is supposed to be "sour diesel" primarily... along with some random strains i have collected... My S. Diesel strain looks and smells like it should but it only takes 55 days, which makes me think it may be something different... I know its not perfect but i have been working with a budget, all my equipment was bought used off of craigslist for pennies on the dollar (except bulbs, nuets, medium), i got clones 2 months before i rented the space and started turning them into mothers and more clones, so when i rented this old farm house in BFE, i already had two tables worth of plants ready to flower... So, anyway my cost is $1500 per month to pay rent, utilities, nuets, medium, misc... My initial investment of $4000 and 4 months total... and this operation now yields 3 lbs per month... not bad... I hope to get it up to 2lbs per 1000w with the knowlege I gain here!

The last pic is of the sour diesel i produce... i love it, it stinks like hell and it gives a perfect balance of head and body high....

Comments, Questions, Criticism???

The one thing that you will find at TX hydro that you wont at other stores is stuff in stock. Period. Plus Canna Coco. Dont get me wrong I go to other stores also but trying to sell you other products? you actually ask them what you need? Of course they will sell you something. If not they are not good business men. I dont live in austin but Tom has always done right by me. Im not a TX hydro cheerleader but saying tx hydro is a bad shop or they dont give discounts or good prices (btw they price match if you didnt know that) or sell you bunk shit is simply not true.

sorry...even former freinds and employees of TXhydro run him down.

nope. he'd sell his mother for a $.


i use the place when i have to, i just prefer to use BI as Troy has had some of the same employees and they tell a completely diff story about him.

In cypress!
Anyone grow outside in here?
How is it?
I was thinking about it but houstons weather is always changing
:/

i feel like all the shops around my area try to rip u off, also they dont really try to give u any advise, i feel like really paranoid goin into these shops like if there are ppl watchin i dk if its just me, before entering a shop i do alot of research and just buy what i need, they try to offer all kinds of shit but i aint no sucker, maybe at first i was but im gettin the hang of hjow it works

Texas K town in this bitch!!! Just a lil sum sum to though up in this joint.

thats a nice lookin sativa what is that?

lol to be honest its some mid grade bag seed green. But I love it. Ive been doing it for a year now and Im bout to breed it with some good ass bag seed I got from a homeboy. Ima call it dougiefresh kush. hope it turns out the way I expect.

thats whats up,thats the way to do it. i did the same thing

yeah Ill keep yall updated on the goods its only the forth week and this strain takes 10. I hope once I breed and get the right baby I can get an 8 week cycle with even more potency.
