NEW GROW:

The following are pictures of Jack at about 3 - 4 weeks. I call it Jack because I planted two seeds and he is giant compared to the other (Jill) and the largest is usually a male. No sex yet, though.The first two are under 12 watts of LED; 2 x 6W warm white LED and 1 X 4W red.

He was topped once. Added one more 6W white and switched to flowering. He is about 14" * 14". Notice how healthy he is with no fan, no pump, no pH balance, no PPM meter, low humidity, extremely hard tap water - and what others will tell you is too little light. Can I do anything more wrong? I doubt it, but IT'S A FUCKING WEED, PEOPLE!

Notice the 4 bolts near the top. That is a support for my center bucket (they are tapered). This is to be my first ever three bucket grow just for you guys to see if I can go start to finish. The bottom bucket has a 2 quart pot full or lava rock sitting in a 3" passive pool of generic hydro nutes. The center bucket has the bottom cut out and is just an empty tube lined with Reflectix. The top is the bucket lamp with the 4 LEDs.

He is already getting way too wide for the bucket so that I have to keep unfurling the leaves upward, but we shall see how far we can go. I may use this experiment to design a professional grow cabinet. It will probably be 18" * 18" * 36" as compared to my 11" * 11" * 30" funky bucket grow.
