GHE EcoGrow 600W Hps

S

ShantiShiva

Hello Good people :)

Been a long time since last Grow was posted here but here ya go up and running again.

Still Using the GHE EcoGrower running a 2 reservoir setup.

Using Future-Bright 600w Hps with "Adjust - A - Wings" 400/600w with a super spreader.
Bulb = Agrolite G&F 600W (i need another one.....i need money...)
Nutrients:
Using GHE Total Pack, been fooling around with others but seems i get more yield using the GHE nutrients, allways looking for tips here!


I build a temporary tent for this grow since i just moved in but im building a new growroom (i will make a DIY on it) but i had to just get up and running, been out of the game for to long hehe.

Strapped for cash i used the seeds i had Skunk # 1
9 seeds popped and set into the ecogrower now only 6 is left 1 turned male 2 was not strong enough so i removed them.

Few days in, i allways let them set in PH controlled water for some time before adding nutrients ->


2 Weeks in nutrients added ->


5 Weeks in Had a little PH accident so they became a bit sluggish for about 24 hours ->


5.5 Weeks in they were flipped to 12/12 and nutrients upped over a period of 1 week final EC 1.2 at his time ->


7 Weeks in started poppin :dance013: ->




Today 8 Weeks in they are very healthy and strong, a bit to bushy but what H*** hehe
EC = 1.8
PH = 5.8 - 6.0
->






Continues in the next post ->

So how much weight do you usually get out of those ECO growers?iv always wondered if those were worth pickin up?

Oh and dont fret on the english,you dont suck,i couldnt speak another language if i wanted nor type it so id say your doin great because i understood everything you said.

P.S. where are you from?? the GH Flora series bottles dont look like that here is why i ask.

Thank you GT :) really means alot! :thank you:
And yes the sweet smell of green ladies just never gets old hehe :)
About the nutes, i dont know really, maybe its because its the European end of General Hydroponics "GHE" i live in Denmark so thats were i get my nutes :D
About the EcoGrower it has proven "to me" (in my own experience) that this is one of the most efficient hydro setups out there, the best grow i did on 2 EcoGrowers was 1,1 Kg Dried yield on 11 Skunk # 1 under 600w
But usually i get around 800g - 1000g on 8-12 plants....by doing more tweaking than i am i bet you can get more yield than this....


Some of the leftovers from last grow (Sandstorm) ->



I will allways recommend the GHE EcoGrower since i get double the yield after changing to this and only half the work, a little note if anyone is considering buying one, i would recommend bying 1 extra pump and 1 set of airstones pr. res to help keep the temp down in there, after running this setup for some years i can say that deffently does wonders for the growth.

Have fun :)

i can't wait updates man..
also the plant look very healthy and green, i like it too much ..they look so nice, i hope in the next future when i have more space for make setup like you with ecogrower, i believe in what you tell about not to much work with ecogrower..this is perfect for me i think because if i try is first time and i need to understand the hydro style!!
you make full bucket of water an nutes only one time in one week?? or what??
i have a question mate...you get around 800 gr from 8/12 plats with 2 ecogrower, like around 100 gr a plant , woh this is so good but coming big maybe, they grow like jungle upstairs the eco, they grow better all together in circle , i can't wait for see the size of plants after flower boom mate, i fix my eyes into this one for sure!!

thanks for reply man....i'm just curious , i like this eco style because are simple i think ...

I really dont do much "work" but i guess it depends on who your are, i love being around the plants so i spend alot of time "around" them but i guess when it comes down to it you only need to check on the plants once a day, making sure nothing is going on which the plants will reveal very quickly, i guess they do that in most hydro systems i remember in my old aeroflow it was the same deal ...instant reaction to insufficiencies :)

About the work that is involved, once a week i clean the reservoirs and fill em with 30L of water then adding the nutes and when its all settled i do the PH balance. BUT ive talked to other ecogrow users who DONT do this they dont clean and refill once a week most ive talked too uses 40-50L running a 14 day circle before refilling, they also have had very nice yield comming from their method :)

And i think your right about the circle method, im getting 1 maybe 2 more ecogrowers for the new growroom im building i was thinking of setting them up in a circle then :D

Have Fun

So...was working on the new growroom today but got distracted by the lovely ladies in the ghetto-garden.
It looked like better air circulation was needed in between the plants so decided to cut them down a bit, in the process i took some pics :)

All done, much better now :p ->


Sugar baby :) ->








This bud is not the biggest but seems to be a bit ahead of the others hehe ->


Have fun
