This is my first bubble bucket grow.
These 2 plants are a week apart in age.
Started 1st bag seed germination December 25th in paper towels.
Started 2nd bag seed germination January 2 in paper towels. Both plants treated the same /water, lights, nutes, pH balance, etc.
Both started with 6.0 water for 1 week. After 5 days of 18/6 light each plants first roots showed up outside of the net pot.
I added GH Micro and Bloom bringing PPM to 350 maintaining pH 5.5-5.8.
On Jan.14th I topped both plants and plucked a few leaves. At this time I brought the nute mixture up to 1000PM and 750 respectively.
So far so good, no signs of stress or strain, and the smell of the trimmed tops and first leaves had such a strong skunk odor that I had to put them in another room.
I am using an 8 bulb 4 ft t5ho fixture with 6500k bulbs.
I plan to veg for another few weeks and switch to 12/12 flower with the same fixture using 3000k bulbs.
Oh well weâ??ll see what happens???
