Day 1:
Sprouts in the rapid rooters. Here are a couple pics of my setup.
I have made a couple adjustments to it since Round 1 & 2.
Nothing major just turned the light and filter around so my light will shine side to side instead of back to front. So it should cover the screen better once installed.
For those of you who have followed my other grows you know that in both I started with Extrema & El Monstre seeds and ended up with male Extremas.
So this grow I have 3 Extrema seeds and 1 El Monstre seeds going and hoping like hell I get a female Extrema in the end.

Round 1: 8 oz dry (2 plants)
Round 2: 9 oz dry (1 plant)
Round 3: My Goal is a pound with 2 plants

I am using a 400 w MH/HPS light with 70 LPM Air Pump running 6 stones
4x3x6 wood grow cab (homemade)
Sensi Grow/Bloom A&B with a few additives

Whew Stinky! I need to change the carbon in my filter.
I haven't changed it in 2 harvest and I have it hooked up now and it smells like I'm in full bloom.
Also realized I don't have much nutes, so looks like I'll be ordering some real soon. For now they are in PH'd water

And it starts again.. Looking forward to it man. Ever think about fem'd seeds?
Click to expand...
I have thought about getting them and I may do so.
But for now I just happened to have these 4 seeds and 4 rooters left.
So I said what the hell and sprouted them. I still have to do a couple things to the cab but for now I'm good to go. Should be a good grow!

Checked on them this morning and Extrema 3 was laid over.
So I pulled it up and replaced it with a reg bagseed that I had from some good reg.
Temps are 82 High 68 Low in the cab. I will not be using rooters next time.

I went away for the weekend and came home to a little bit of growth.
El Monstre is the only one with a root in the water as of now.
It's been a slow start but it will all come together in the end.
The Extrema that died was because the water level wasn't high enough and it dried out the rooter plug.
Notice the water drops in the pics. I top fed them a little as well as raised the water level a little bit.
They should be good to go now. I'm a slow starter but a strong finisher. Lol!

Added some Sensi Grow A&B and some VooDoo Juice to the rez. Also added a couple new stones.
I was running 6 stones (2 in each rez) Now I have 8 stones (3 in two rez and 2 in one rez).
Ready to see some good growth! I know early veg pics can be boring so try to stay awake people.
Trying not to bore ya too bad. Feel free to comment.

I decided to pull up the sprouts and get rid of the rooter plugs that they were in.
So I said fuck the plugs and took them off the roots very carefully and replanted back into the hydroton net pots.
I'll do away with hydroton next grow.
My reason for doing this is because now I can submerge my net pots halfway in the water if I want to and the roots will be fine whereas before if the water level was too high then my rooters would get too wet or level was too low then the rooter would dry out. Both resulting in slower growth. Pain in the ass.

Not sure how they will react to the change but I am hoping they will be fine.
El Monstre is the only one that appears to be in shock.
But it was also curled up a little bit before the change so we will see how they recover.

pH 5.8
PPM 285
