Big time grats! :thumbsup:

I have never used hydro method before, but am interested. Yesterday while in Albuquerque, I stopped by that hydro shop on San Mateo. They got so many goodies in there. I want to buy up everything. Oops! No money.

Hope you do a grow log. It will be cool to watch your future babies grow.:hippy:

started my legal grow bout a month ago and i am two wks into veg on a multi bucket deep water culture system, 400 w digital balast using a full line of advanced nutrients. Plants are about a foot tall at this point, perfectly green, all feminised cannabis cup winners. It is an awesome experience, congrats med mama.....advice: check your ph and adjust accordingly every day! Advanced nutrients are amazing and they are coming out with a new line of nutrients at the end of july that make it where one doesn't have to adjust ph or ppms at all. Good luck med mama....I'll show pics of my girls at some point.

hey mama, i started out in soil, but switched to coco after that. i did pretty good in soil, but prefer hydro. to me, i feel more in control of things in coco. things happen more quickly in hydro, i like that. what type of system did you get?

[medical420mama]

I got a bubble bucket ( got to SH Hydroponics, Inc. ) i think it is awsome.

Bongo, i am getting a kit from fox farms of all the nuets and what not i will need it says there is a guide buti am sure i will need help with the proper amounts. So when i am all up and running i will start asking what to do. Do you know of a good hydro grow book?

Used it before,it's not nearly as forgiving as organic growing. Hope you got a Parts Per Million meter and a PH meter. Good luck!

i made a few of those, and donated them when i lived in oregon. they work well, but can be a little work. the main problem is usually, the tub is too smal for the amount of plants feeding out of it. if you have 6 plants feeding/drinking out of an 8 gallon (will be less) bubbler, you can expect wild ph swings. the tub will start filling up with roots, then there will be even less room for water. another thing that can be a problem is draining and cleaning the tub. there are 2 schools of thought, some drain and clean weekly, others wait 2 weeks. personally, i'd do it weekly. you can see how this can get labor intensive. ideally, you'd want 2 tubs so you could just swap one for the other. another thing that can become a real issue is keeping the rez/tub temps. down in the summer. this can cause problems quick. easily solved if you buy a chiller, but they are very expensive. some folks freeze plastic bottles of water and drop them in the tub. only problem there is, it'll raise the level of the tub if you need to use several, so in a smaller tub, it wold happen quick. if you keep the tub in a room with very low ambient temps. you'd prob. do o.k. what i'd do is use the one coming as a model and buy a 30 gallon tub from wally mart. it's a little work, but you could pretty much utilize most of the stuff coming. you prob. don't need a hydro book. i'd bet a shiny nickel that adequate instructions are included with what's coming. from there, you just need to learn how to control ph, and adjusting ppm's in feeding. it sounds more complicated than it is.
