I’VE BEEN GROWING THIS TIME SINCE 2019, AND WHAT A RIDE IT HAS BEEN…LOL I STARTED MY GROW ROOM IN A 10 X 10 FT. ROOM IN THE BASEMENT, STARTED WITH 2 600 WATT METAL HALIDES ,EXCHANGEABLE TO 600 WATT HPS, PLUS 2 315 WATT MH LIGHTS, BEGAN GROWING IN SOIL FOR THE FIRST 3 CROPS AND WERE GROWN IN SOIL.
THEN I ADDED AN R.O. SYSTEM, THEN ADDED 3 D.I. CARTRIDGES, WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE WATER WAS 100% CLEAN. THEN I BUILT MY OWN HUMIDIFIER, ALWAYS INNOVATING MY IDEAS. I GOT 3 NICE CROPS OF SUPER SKUNK AND MAG LANDRACE. HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH FUNGUS NATS, TOOK CARE OF THAT WITH 1 INCH OF POOL SAND ON THE TOP OF THE SOIL, NATS GONE !, NOW MY LAST CROP I CHANGED FROM SOIL TO DWC THEN TO RDWC GROWING,
LAST CROP WAS SWEET, GREAT HARVEST, THEN THIS CROP CHANGED FROM RDWC BUCKETS TO A RDWC SYSTEM USING
CURRENT CULTURE H20 8 GALLON CONTAINERS WITH 2 INCH PVC PIPE. I FOUND WATER SO MUCH EASIER TO CONTROL, I ADDED A 700 GAL PER HOUR RECIRC PUMP FOR CIRULATION, I FOUND THAT THE PH, AND E.C. AND WATER TEMP WERE ALL EASIER TO KEEP WITHIN RANGE
WITH A GLANCE AT MY BLUELABS GUARDIAN MONITOR, RIGHT NOW I HAVE SUPER SKUNK, GRAND DADDY PURPLE, AFGHAN KUSH AND MAG LANDRACE. I ALSO UPGRADED ALL MY LIGHTING TO LED FULL SPECTRUM WHICH I’VE FOUND TO BE TREMENDOUS. I ALSO CHANGED MY CLONING TECHNIQUE FROM ROCK CUBES TO AEROPONICLY, WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN THE OVER ALL HEALTH OF THE CLONES
THE PICTURES START FROM THE BEGINNING USING MH AND HPS LIGHTS AND IN SOIL TO LED LIGHTS TO RDWC SYSTEMS, FROM CLONING THE TYPICAL WAY TO CLONING AEROPONICLY, WHICH IN MY OPINION IS THE ONLY WAY TO CLONE.
I THINK I HAVE IDEAS THAT MAY HELP SOME GUY’S ON HERE.
HAPPY GROWING ALL !
