C99, C99 hybrid, WW - all FMS E&F 600W grow

[a420head]

I think that its time for me to make my first growlog. I got 5 c99 hybrid seedlings and thanks to FMS two c99 seedlings from gift seeds. There is also 4 miserable fms ww cuttings from my other room, not sure if those will survive. I've given some rough handling for those cuttings and if they survive it would yet again amaze me that how tought plant cannabis is.

I have a small spare room for this. Its about 3x2.5 meters with proper ventilation and its ugly and dirty. Growing area will be ~1.2x1.2m

This pile of junk is going to turn into a e&f hydro and theres my 600w el cheapo lamp too. I like to build systems from scrap and cheap. Whenever I can just cut off even one part that costs one euro I will do it happily. Making growing simpler, easier and cheaper has been my passion for the last 7 years

Costs are just
-14e for the "tray" ~50x70x17cm
-7e for the res
-10e for the pump
-~2e for garden hose
-95e for the lamp/reflector/ballast with shipping
-wiring for free
-20e for 50 liters of hydroton
-20e for years worth of nutes(ghe micro&bloom)
-no need for fans or carbon filters, this room has powered exhaust straight out and I dont need to worry about any smells.
168e for the whole system, I call it cheap&simple

This is my first e&f grow and its a multistrain grow too, so I dont expect best yields. I only expect to get at least one good c99/c99 hybrid mom. There are some gems with these genetics, one of these has been the second best smoke for me after a wonderful kali mist pheno
Time to open a beer and start building, more pictures with plants and building will follow.

Thanks herb

Heres my babies:

Just glued the feed/drainline, takes some time to dry. Owerflow hoses have been cut to a v shape to drain better. 1/2" hose usually drains poorly.

Test run for the system, without clay it takes 7 minutes to fill the system an 15 minutes to drain. There is a small leak with the fill line, so i need to let it dry and continue tomorrow

ok, this glue did not work. I'm now going with dripfeed. Maybe next time I can take the time to build a e&f system. Or maybe it costs some euros more than a dripfeed.

anyway, I turned the claypebble bag wrong way around and now there is about 10 liters of this shit in my spare bathroom I hate and love anyone using hydroton the first time

Little update, plants are now 12 days old. For first days those were in my other growroom getting just some side light from a 400w hps.
Planted to this system at 17th.

There was too many holes in the "drip tube", luckily I have plenty of those POS screwdrivers around to pluck those holes and get more even spread.
Even the cuttings are still alive, don't know for how long
