Bubbleponic grow Journal!! (pics

Day 1 > what’s up RIU just got some seeds from the ATTITUDE and they are a very great company! I have but am not limited to (2) Strawberry Blue, (1) purple lady, (3) kings Kush, (1) gigabud, (1) Powerkush, these are my current sprouts.I am doing them all in bubbleponnics units with 3 inch net pots. I have a grow tent 1.5x3x5.5 (lxwxh) I have a 400 watt cooled euro hood running my MH right now which I switch over to HPS when its time to flower.temps stay right around 83 to 87 but with my increased co2 I should be fine once they get a little bigger and I start introducing them to higher ppm;s of co2.humdity is relatively always 50 %. Nutes are advanced A & B by Dutch masters! My water is ph'ed right around 5.9 to 6.1.. Seeds were started in Rapid rooters and let me say if you choose to use RR always pinch a little off the side and plug the hole, this way the seedling will have some resistance or it will just grow right up and out and kill its self. Always ph your water and soak the cubes before you place the seeds. I have a 4 inch inline fan that I will hook up to my carbon scrubber after flowering is way into the stinky part. its pushing 190 cfm which is plenty to cool a 400 watter, also I have C02 tank rigged up to an emitter that goes off 15 minutes every two hours, this keeps my ppm right around 1200, also always check your tds in your bubble tank, minus your tap water TDs then add nute to the desirable level, for seedlings and young plants like up to two weeks I just add 100 to 150 ppm/tds to the water. I will not really be doing much of a SOG because I want more yield but we will have to see since my space is limited, I will at least let my plants VEG for 4 weeks before I induce flowering. I will be updating this grow often so please check back and any comments or criticisms as long as you aren’t rude. I am going to have 5 different strains this aouta be fun especially when it’s all said and done.If anyone has any pics or knows anything about the strains I am growing I would like to hear about it. I had three already going in this tent (1) afghan Kush, (1) Dutch passion blueberry, (1) white widow they are all soil and I switched over to soilless so I have to give them away any takers ha-ha j/k prolly give them to my friend or bro just don’t have the space or light, kind of sad cuz they are looking nice and I know that AK is gunna be potent!.I Will throw in pics of them as well. Also all my seeds are fem.

Looks amazing bro... I'm thinking about using a 2 plant set up like that my self... Anyway +rep... Looking forword to more pics...

thank you bro it hould be pretty cool. figured i would let them have a little more room by doing two a bucket. they are 3.5 gallon i will post some more as they get a little bigger and as i get all the rapid rooters sprouted.

got six sprouts so far, i will post some pics tommarrow, ph is fluctuating pretty bad but thats ok cuz the plant uptakes diff nutes at diff levels of ph. these babys should start taking off pretty quick, two allready have tiny tap root coming through bottom of net pot. will post some pics later. stay with my grow it will get better once i have established plants

Wow nice setup, i just built my new bubbleponics system today so i should be starting within a week! i'll definitely be watching this grow, i can see what should be coming next for me. hows the light work for ya?

yeah i got 1 bubble ponic with 6 plants it dam it sucks nutes like u would not belive 2 be heaps better

guys i had to ditch all the buckets and transfer all the plants to soil , i just could not keep my buckets from reaching temps at around 86 WAY too high! got mild root rot and had to transfer so i will be showing all my plants on soil here. i now have ten, here are some pics

Man that sucks about the root rot at least you didnt loose them im fixing to go hydro so thats something else i need to think about

thats too bad! at least you managed to save them, how did they like the transfer?

seriously as soon as as i transfered them into soil they perked up like within 5 hours, they were all wilted and almost dead and once i got those roots out of the hot resevoir they took off, im all for hydro but if you cant keep your water temps below 70 i wouldnt even try it, growing with a 400 watt light in a tent is extremely hard to keep res temps down unless of course you have some sort of chiller, but i will post on here as these plants get bigger, prolly going to trigger flower this weekend all the seeds a fem so i hope they all stay girls from the stress, feel free to post and give me info to help me out, or just chat

hmmmm i have a bottom bucket for res and a top one i cut in half for the roots to grow in to and i flood every 2 hours while the light is on. I grow in 3 inch net pots with rockwool when i put the seedings in i flood all the way to the top.

When the roots start growing out the bottom of the net pots i half the size of the overflow pipe so that the bottom of the rock wool is only just getting wet. this helps prevent root rot as the rockwool does not stay soaked.

dunno if that helps anyway just thought id say what i do
i use a 400watt hps lamp and a fishtank heater in the res as well as a small air pimp an large air stone works a treat

i think in my opinion you have a way to strong of a light for such a small tent that size thats why you ran into trouble with heat issues,a tent that size should imo have a 150 hps or maybe a 250 hps...
