question for ZANDOR or other knowledgable hydro grower

Nice plants.. I think you can increase the ppm.. they look a bit light... probably safe to go 1000-1200.

Plants usualy look pretty happy first thing in the morning and pretty tired before they go to sleep... sounds pretty normal...

happy hydro-ing

Hi all, I'm back. I got a little lazy and haven't been in touch on the message board.
Today I am at 31 days from seed. I began 12/12 light cycle yesterday. Tonight I will be changing the resevoir to the early bloom phase (General Hydroponics phase feeding program w/ floranova and supplements),

I have to say thanks to Female Seeds for supplying my Grapefruit seeds. This is an awesome plant that has been incredibly tolerant to some bad conditions that I encountered a few weeks ago like high pH, possibly too high PPM, and high heat. I will take some shots tonight and add to this thread. You will see that one of the girls is crazy prolific, and the rest are just awesome. I'm curious to see how the Easy Bud plant I have going will do along side the Grapefruits. It is a 50/50 indica/sativa where as the Grapefruit is a fasst finishing Sativa. It's nice to have didderent kinds of weed in the end. I like sativa in the morning, and indica at night.

Sorry, no pics of the last grow of AK47 in flower. I stopped photographing and posting on the message board after 35 days from seed. Everything turned out great though even though I had to leave on vacation for 12 days. thankfully I had a good friend to watch things for me. I yielded about 7 ounces. Not bad for such a small space huh?

this pic is my last grow at 35 days. AK47 from Serious Seeds. I will post pics of new grow (Grapefruit and 1 Easy Bud) tonight.

She's 33 days from seed. Grapefruit. It really does smell like grapefruit right now to the touch. I'm anxious to see how the Easy Bud (Female Seeds) does alongside it.

Stormcooker, nice set-up, I am in process of putting together a recirculating system so I thought I'd revisit my research on grow methods. So, I wonder, could you tell me? why do you grow w/ebb and flow? As opposed to dwc; Do you find ebb and flow easier to deal with on a grow to grow basis?...thanks latewood

[Stormcooker]

I've never used anything other than ebb n' flow. I like the transportability of the individual plants, they can be turned, taken out, rearranged, similar to potted plants in soil. when it comes to changing the resevoir, and cleaning out the system, it's quick and easy, without any harm to the plants. You can also add or adjust nutrients to the reservoir and not directly to the plant to allow for mistakes and safe adjusting.

thanks for the info stormy...that's what I saw when I looked at your grow...nice and neat...I might just try that with a couple of my clones...

no prob
