So after a very successful outdoor summer grow, we decided to step up the game and get an indoor setup happening. We needed something inconspicuous, and ended up with a Superflower system by Supercloset. It has 2 chambers, a t5-lit veg, and a 400w flower. The veg is deep water culture, and the flower is a drip/deep-water combo.

we added 16 clones to the veg chamber in 4 gallons of RO water with Nutri-Plus Start 1-3-1.
6 Super White Widow
6 Green Candy
2 Casey Jones (oaksterdam)
2 Sour Grape (oaksterdam)
The Green Candy's didn't look great from the start, and I ended up removing 5 of them after several days of zero growth. The flowering side only holds 12, so I had planned to get rid of the 4 weakest at some point anyway.

We switched to Dutch Masters Gold nutrients after about a week when most of the plants were in the 6" range. The nutrient list is-
DMG silica
DMG Veg A
DMG Veg B
DMG VegMax
SugarDaddy
Bloom (yellow bottle) Roots

Magi-Cal

So halfway thru the first week, and the remaining plants are all rooting well. We started a cycle of foliar spraying alternating between penetrator/liquid light and penetrator/Bloom Seafuel every 3 days. The liquid light was mixed at 50% for the first spray, the next will be 75% and then 100% for the rest of the grow.

I covered the holes of the removed Green Candys to cut down on algae in the res.
Today's the start of week 2 veg nutrients as well as the second Liquid Light spray. I realized the veg res holds a little over 4.5 gallons instead of 4 so made adjustments to nutrient levels accordingly.

Roots seem healthy so far. I'm planning on about another half-week in veg before I move them over to flower. I think as soon as I do that I'm going to get another batch of clones, find the strongest growers, and make my own mothers + clones for the next round. Unless I find a new source, the quality of clones I'm getting now is too inconsistant
