1st DWC grow! Northern bright (northern light x haze)

[italian04]

they sprouted about a two weeks ago and already roots are touching the water. I love DWC! all net pots are sitting in two gallon buckets. each pland is under a 27W flouro. i will put 42W in their place nxt week. we found out that the lower wattage caused the plants to grow bushier. the 42w's mad them stretch a little. so i will let them bush up for a while and then switch the bulbs. i will add nutes in another week or so. ill also have some pictures up later. my first grow was just a run through and i was able to get my system set up the way i want to. so this is my first grow with me being settled down and not fixing the room every day. comments appreciated on progress. Thanks guys and i have learned so much from the website this year!!

so it has been 3 weeks today. is it a good time to start with a 1/4 nute solution. i was really gonna wait another week since they look so beautiful but i guess it will just speed up their growth tremendessly. i have gh 3 part and cannazym which im waiting to add. any comments are appreciated.

just changed out my fem. northern bright and rooted k2 clone with a 2.5/2.5/2.5 ml/gal and 1 tsp cannazym this morning. the NB are nearly 1 month old and look beautiful. i totally removed superthrive from my lineup up supplements. it always seemed to burn the tips of my leaves. i have had great results with the cannazym. hopefully in one more month the ladies will be ready to flower. have pics soon. peece and smoke

i added about 18,000 more lumens with 2 42W and 1 30w CFL. i now have a total of about 40,000 lumens for veg. they will then be transferred under 400w hps to flower. the plants have blown up since i have added the nutes. everything is running as smooth as possible. they are about a month old today. I will give them full strength nutes on saturday. the k2 clone has grown about 4 inches in less than a week. pics up shortly. camera broke.

just changed out the nutes on these ladies. went to 2.2/1.5/3.6 ml/1.5gal and 1tsp cannazym. they are about 5 weeks old. i love how bushy they are getting. they are not stretching at all. the bigger one is the k2 clone. also about 1 month old. and then my new puppy, Kody. hes a pit mix. hes so cute. haha. thanks for checkin out the post. comments appreciated. thanks guys!

i was thinking about buying a 400w mh light. would this be enough for 6 plants? also what are the benefits over 250w of cfl??

Scroll through the thread, it's got tons of info regarding lumens per watt and the right kelvin temp for veg and flower. :jointsmile:

I'm still a lurker, but I'm experimenting with bagseed and lst at the moment, but also trying to give a little info with some popular links I've found.

Good luck with your grow, I'll be following it. :bonghit:

i think 400w mh has more lumens= more light= better growth=fat budss
