My First Hydro Grow!! E&F

[sinoptik]

great looking plants wcbg and it's funny because that is the exact same setup I hope to be running in the not so distant future. I was debating about algae growth too and when I saw how you fixed the problem, I was happily relieved to see it working so well for you. I hope to learn alot in this thread, keep the updates frequent

[wikidcalibudgrl]

Well,, my smallest skunk( the one still in the small tray) decided to sex itself,, and it went the WRONG WAY! ohh well . Other two bigger ones haven't started to show yet.
Has anyone heard therory on this: That if you have a male, to leave it in the room as long as you can keep up with taking the balls off b4 they can pollenate anything. Someone told me this will make the females in the room LESS likely to go hermie in self-preservation efforts? anyways,, just wondering :smile:
Take Care All!!

NICE!!

Does it help to have that plastic over the table? Heres my e & f table i just built.I got a bunch of clones rooting for it rite now.Im thinking that i may add some plastic to the top of mine.Just cut an X where ever the little 32 oz. square pots i use are gonna be and pop em in there.Outta help keep alge (sp) from sliming up the bottom of the table.Great Grow too by the way!! http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=10007

 

[wikidcalibudgrl]

Definately use the plastic hun!! I had a problem with algea growing on the table within I'd say,,,2-4 days. Mine was easy to clean though as I could just pick it up carry it outside and wash it out. With your (Awesomely built btw<<) table that might be a little difficult to do. Good Luck and Great job on building your table!! :wink: :smile:

We had a disaster in the cloner last night,, not sure when but the way I had the spinner tube set up to the pump, it allowed it( the spinners) to fall over to one side sometime during the night So for an unknown length of time all but like two clones were not getting sprayed. So i rigged up the thing so it WONT happen again, but the damage was done to these. I took 11 clones and I think( I HOPE) all but 2 will survive.

( UPDATE- all clones but two look like they'll survive!! WHEW they're perking back up and lookin better. I've also trimmed the bigger leaf tips down a bit earlier to less water trans.~ seems to have helped too )

b4 i use it again i will be modifying it to have three rows of sprayers, like Mr. Wags has his set up (they're the same cloners) I have the "sprinkler" type spinners right now, and think I'll be going with misters insted. We'll see how( if these, or most of these survive) well they root b4 making a final decision on that though.
The rest of the ladies are doing Awesome!! My other two skunks haven't showed sex yet, so I'm hoping these are females. We'll be switching to 12/12 in a week or so. Let the FUN BEGIN!!! :friends:

 

[Organic Hydro]

Good save wikid , sounds like you've got everything under control now
it'll be cool to see these babies start flowering for ya , so another week ya say , , sounds like a plan :wink:

talk with ya soon

O H

 

[wikidcalibudgrl]

OH: Yup Yup!! and guess what?? They ALL made it!! woohoooo! I just gave all but three away to my buddy yesterday,, he has to head back to Oregon, so we re-dipped in root gel and stuck um in cubes for the trip,,, I was hoping he was gunna stick around a few more day so they could root in the cloner but,,, he misses his kids too much to stay,,so off he went! BUT,,, before he left he brought me,,,,
I know it's a chity shot, But you can see what they SAY!!! :grin: :friends: I'ma be hand watering these indoors under my Compact Floro'ss till they can go in the table,,, they are four days from cut today.
Here's afew more of the room this morning too,,,



And one for Okie Grown showing the corner of the plastic folded back for added fresh air to the rootzone!

Don't know if I can wait a week to 12/12 um,,, :wink:

Looking GREAT wikid ,
hard to believe that your plants were no bigger than those NYCD cut's you now have ,[congrats on scoring them by the way] they grow so fast when they get nothing but love and good vibes :smile: , i just know they'll give you BIG love inreturn :wink: , hey , thanx for telling me about the POTM nomination , i would have never known if ya didn't mention it , so nice of Ms.G to do that after the little mis-understanding we had , but it's all good now and we made nice,nice to each other , and for that i'm happy :smile:

your just the female grow dog wikid , so nice to know your sis is in good health and most excellent to see your babies returning the love you give them , i'll be voting for gwfh's pics as they clearly out shine mine in the lovely color dept , and let's face it , they did one hell of a nice grow on those and deserve that POTM title way more than i do :wink:

all the best luv

Nice Grow Wikid...

Nice Grow Wikid...

From the beginning of this thread I was wondering what the plastic on the top was for. I'm just over 20 days into a flower period for my first run on a 3x3 table, and I haven't noticed any algae growth on the bottom of the tray. I think the reason is that I have 23 plants on the tray and empty spots are filled with buckets and hydroton. I vegged a bit long; so I'm on the edge of having too many plants, but having the table full has kept algae away it looks like.

I also have that timer with 98 settings. I flood my table every 102 minutes for 6 minutes. I noticed that OH said that you don't need cycles during the dark period. Why is that?

Looking forward to more,
