Blue Mystic grow log...

If you keep the water level high when they are young then the bubbles splash the bottom side of the net pot. Thats enough to keep them watered.

No rot. I top the bucket off every 1-2 days. Its more frequent when they get bigger or if your temps are high they will drink more.

Aero seems cool but man it seems complicated and theres alot of construction involved.

As far as choosing your grow method... It all depends on your situation. If you dont have alot of time to devote to checking PH and nute levels then maybe go soil. Unless you can afford equipment that does all that for you.

Got my satalite and LED spotlight in...

The LED is super bright and its focused on a small area so wherever you point it theres a serious boost in light. I have mine locked on three shorter tops... hoping it will raise them up closer to the canopy. I pointed it at my face with my eyes closed and it is still super intense light. Pretty cool...

24 hour temp test with the CFLs... After two hours on a warm day today it stayed at 81f with them on. Hoping I can add a 42w and two more 23w CFLs.
If the temp is good then I will lower the lights so the CFLs are closer.
Hopefully the spotlight works good so I can order another.

Heres some snaps.

WOW i must say that is an awesome setup...

Thanks...

The UFO and the satellite socket setup were purchased seperately. I had been looking at it for awhile at hid hut but didnt want to spend that much for it. Luckily they just put it on sale so I grabbed one... its great! Came with mounting brackets and hardware and extra fuses.

check it out here.
Supernova LED - UFO LED Grow Lights - - The Satellite System works perfectly with the LED UFO.

Also this LED spotlight is working lovely. The side buds and tops I pointed it at are bigger and just loaded with trichs now. Having the flexability to point it anywhere with the socket system is awesome.

Pics are showing the trichs from under the 660nm for one day. In pic two you can even see some rogue cat hair stuck in the sticky resin. Check out her sweet yellow hairs too...

Awesome setup and great results so far.. DWC is what I have in mind for an upcomming grow, do you use the nute tables that fox produces?

[GetThisOrDie]

Thanks... yup I use this as a guideline.

Ok so my PH pen has been acting up... Im sure its my fault by not storing it correctly. I ordered a new one yesterday so the plant is going to go a few exrta days without water. If need be I will just try the color coded test on plain water.

This new pen will be stored in storage solution at all times!


Plants look great. Trimmed the under growth some today. I wanted to pollinate this weekend but the buds arent the size I wanted them to be so im pushing it back until next weekend.

Seems like she stopped stretching. Her fruity aroma is getting stronger.

Ok so I did a temperature test with 6x 23w CFLs, the LED bulb, and a 42w CFL. Looking good so far. Temps stayed between 81f - 83f right under the lights at the canopy. That should be a decent amount of light added. The UFO was doing fine by itself, I just figured why not and added more light to the setup.

While I was screwing in a bulb my arm rubbed against one of the colas and I was blessed with an aroma something like a fruity drink... reminded me of Kool-Aid. For the next 20 minutes I was walking around sniffing my arm and getting weird looks from my wife. Even my cat jumped on me and didnt want to stop smelling my arm. Yummy!
