Looking forward to this hydroponics grow, made some customs jars for this one, rockwool germination only took 48 hours, really going to give this grow some love

Growing really well so far, upped the nuts a little and will transplant into a bucket setup when the roots touch the bottom of the jar, growth is fantastic so far!

Leaving this one to grow a little, moved the setup from candle jars covered in foil to a black bucket with cardboard top holding the cups (couldn't find anything within arms reach so I used cardboard😁) stick around this grow is a good one! Currently setup as a shallow water hydroponic system

At this point I haven't added an air stone because I thought what difference is it really going to make? stay tuned for next week....

Absolutely exploded with the air stone! Water intake improved so drastically I almost killed the plant! These two girls sucked the water dry and the bucket needed a refilling! Luckily I noticed maybe a few hours after it happened and recovered most the plant and lost a few branches that bent too much at the bottom. The plant pushes on unfazed by this novice grower.

Lovely growth, both plants are racing to the light, the left most plant is catching up quickly now that it's in the best spot for light, budding is starting fast! And as I'm also growing a fem plant I've switched the light to a 12-12 cycle but still getting such quick growth! really looking forward to this one

This grow has been fantastic so far, plant has stayed resilient and strong throughout the process, timmed some dead leaves at the bottom of the plant. Hydroponics is a fantastic way to grow!

Both seeds seem to be growing a little different from each other, perhaps I planted the wrong seed or sent with a different seed in the pack. This hydroponic grow is far less maintenance with far better results compared to the cocoir grows I've done. Really looking forward to this grow and nothing has looked this good before!

So I noticed the one plant that took the most damage from being unwatered was pretty much done so that's been cut and is drying! The other healthier plant is coming along great and will look to flush the coming weekend, plant has grown really well even on a 12-12 light schedule for an auto

Really happy with this first hydro grow, fast and resilient grow, would have liked more tricome production but lets see what we can get in this final week or two before the cut

Good Smoke, didn't get any terps but understandable as it's a hydroponic grow, it's fast flowering and super sticky and very resilient to new growers. Straight forward auto grow with Advance nutrients, all the seeds germinated. Would have liked to see more frostyness on the buds, high is short and sharp... maybe I need a break 😂

Quick to grow, strong and resistant to beginner mistakes, the strain itself is a short and sharp high with giggly effects, great plant overall but experienced smokers will need something more potent
