Well, I've gotten a lot of information from these forums as I've come off and on since 2007, so I've decided it's time to give back.
The first time I grew, I used an ebb and flow table. The second time I grew, I used soil. This time, I've created an ebb and flow bucket system that should be even better.
I'm only growing two Purple Kush this time around, but I plan to veg them for 3 & 1/2 weeks (after getting them as clones from a nearby Co-Op - I'm a legal, medical marijuana patient), whereas I put my last two grows straight into flower and used more plants. We'll see how it goes.
So I'm using hydroton and Sensi Grow A / B + H2o2. I only have 3% bottles of H2o2 right now, but I only fill my reservoir up to about 6 gallons, so I don't end up even having to use much of that either really.
Temp: 78-79 during the day. Not sure at night, but I'd guess around 68.
PH: I start it at 5.6 and let it slowly rise to 6.0 before I knock it down again.
PPM: 850 (My tap comes out 250, so only 600 worth of nutes added)
I'm feeding my plants pretty much exactly what they want right now. I flood the buckets 5x a day: from 6:30 to 6:35, 10:30 to 10:35, 2:30 to 2:35, 6:30 to 6:35, and 10:30 to 10:35. My lights are on from 6 a.m. to 12.am. And I check up very often on the PPM levels of the reservoir to see how much they're eating. At first, I had it at 650 and it dropped to 450. So I bumped it up to 850 and it has stayed the same for a few feeds now.
Plants age: 1 week and 2 days since getting as a clone. Plan to veg for 2 and a half more weeks.
Oh, and one last thing: I topped them the day I got them, and I also got them a tad early as I had to make some tweaks to my system after I already had them. So they had a rough start, but they've been taking off like champions the last few days.
