Opie, so sorry I left you and some other folks without special THANKS !! ... just like the Academy Awards, the thank-you's just go on and on ... btw, I love that bubble-cloner design you turned me onto :thumbsup: ... gosh, yield would have to be double, anyway, would be even more than that, if I had the room ... I'm confident a 'full-size' plant could easily be grown indoors with sufficient space, in hydro ... I let her go too large in veg-stage, and then fought to hold her down, the entire grow ... next time, I predict my 'vegging' period will be 4 weeks or less, instead of my usual '8-weeks vegging' in soil ... and, I suspect the extra 2 weeks flowering may be due to the unusually cool temps ... one interesting note, she still had NO yellowing bottom leaves, even by harvest time ... my best guess, is that the hydro didn't hinder nutrient uptake like the final days of soil grows ... ???, just a guess ... time-wise, hydro only adds 10 minutes a day to my usual growing efforts, EXCEPT, I have to be here for it ... soil lets me go camping, etc for 3-4 days at a time ... hopefully, the addition of 3-4 more gallons of reservoir capacity, plus the existing 4 gallons, will allow me to go play in the woods with Bigfoot this Spring (hey, she gets lonely, too ) ... :jointsmile:
the image reaper Reviewed by the image reaper on . Enjoying my first Hydro grow ... so far, anyway ... had a couple early pH scares ... but, overall, the plants have done as good as expected, and a clone taken directly from the mother to the other hydro-pot, seems to be doing just fine ... lots of helpful info both from reading the Forums, and friends here ... thanks :thumbsup: ... I am enjoying this, after soil over and over, it's kinda cool to 'go back to school' to learn new stuff, makes it interesting again ... :jointsmile: ... Rating: 5
