If this is really your first grow, you are doing amazing. Just keep doing what you’re doing and frequently change the water during your last bit of flower and everything will be wonderful!

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, dude this is honestly how 1st grows go!! This jaysam guy got the goodies on the hydro and is kill'n it....but yeah all the formalities of the grow get figured out in this.....you get your wings on this 1st grow sometimes 2nd but it's really a personal thing....to share the thoughts and feelings while the "Banana Republic" three ring circus blast you "Clockwork Orange" style and your forced to watch, watch, watch...only to be interrupted by nutrition 🔥 resembling an oompa.....man phuck! Ready for Football, Holidays, and maybe some cooler Temps and definetly some mason jars of nicely cured buds to 🎁!!!

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, Hey thanks so much! You have some really nice grows! It is my first grow, I did a fair amount of research before and then get my grow area set up and tried to get it dialed in before I started. Ive made some mistakes for sure and took me some time to get everything dialed and figuring out where to put everything and how it effects the environment. Its been fun though. I appreciate the kind words and advice.

Looking good ! I thought about get a P.A Rdwc for my 3x3x6, I've grown 4 plants in there once before but I don't want to do that again lol, maybe I'll look into the 2 plant one, keep up the great work, oh and by the way check out an automation system called the Growee, now that's a super cheat code lol

@BBhykiem1, I highly recommend the system, I have not had a single issues, no leaks, everything runs smooth. If you do end up going that right, play with connection from the res to the first bucket to figure out where you want your water line to be, it takes some playing around with with the sytem on, but its worked well for me so far. Dude, I looked at the growee and it looks awesome and definitely going to do some more research, but it for sure is a badass little system! One thing ive found out the hard way is those plants in the back can be super tricky to get too though, especially when they get bigger. Eventually I just want to convert a small room here, just to be able to move around and work a little better. But thanks for the information and kind words!

dude your grow is mind blowing!!! All the dazzle pictures of "buds pop'n in da grow tent!!" I so wanna go hydro just to be able to lift my girl and see her amazing roots. It's like silk stocking on a pair of legs.....delightfully entangled.

@dinni5yn, Thanks so much man, I appreciate that. I honestly think a good rdwc/dwc sytem is kind of a cheat code. I just do my best to keep all conditions in check to limit any issues and try and let the plants tell me what they need. Definitely a lot to learn and even more excited for the next grow, I feel much better about it and have some ideas on improving things like training and the timing of everything. Its been so fun so far though. Your grow is looking great too man! Not too much longer until we will be rewarded with the fruits of our labor!

Hey, Looking good. The Defoliation jitters are definitely real as I did that and almost cried! Your grow is looking fantastic and the fact that you are reading as you grow tells me that you care about your girls. 420astic!!!!! I starting my bloom stage this week. We kind of started our grows around the same time so not sure if this was maybe a bit early but seeing the white thistle's and just thought if not now in the next few days. Great roots man!! I cannot say enough about your roots!!!!

Jsammy09commenteda year ago

@dinni5yn, Oh yeah the jitters are 100% real, but I just cant get over how fast they are bouncing back. I'll go through and take off about 50 fan leaves, next day its like I did nothing to the plant the prior day lol. There are so many different ways to defoliate, LST, and scrogg, I just try to take as much as that info in as I can, watch the plants and ksee what they are doing, compare them to other journals look at what they did, see what has worked, and kinda just read them and go off of instinct. Im really starting to see them stretch now, I was a bit worried about how short and bushy they were. Its getting exciting though, I have one plant that is just a bit ahead of the others and am starting to see all the bud sites form and those balls and clusters of those beautiful white hairs! I appreciate the comments and words friend!

Jsammy09commenteda year ago

@dinni5yn, yeah they are doing well! I was shocked how big and white they are getting. This plant is super short though. A lot of growth is covered by those big leaves so I tried to do some tucking and hopefully promote some growth in those. I think I also was overfeeding a bit. I got some curling going on in new growth, but I lowered the PPM back down to 500 and raised the light a bit. Hopefully it picks back up and recovers.

check'n your cal mag+iron? not sure if because of the hydro but your plants are really kick'n in!!!!

Jsammy09commenteda year ago

@dinni5yn, Yeah, every since I flushed out the tap water and put in the RO water and nutes these things kinda took off. I just follow the low strength feeding chart floraflex has and seems to be working well. Tuesdays will be fresh water and nutes, hopefully they continue to grow.

Just wanna add it looks like you did the research, got the best equipment you could.. added the best nutes you liked and great genetics and it seems to have paid off!! I pray mine ends well.. I've got darn near $3000 in my setup. Or well over $2000 anyways. I got Ac infinity 4x4 and their 6 inch fan filter and controller 69 pro Grow light science ProGrow1800 670w led light. 'Driver failed 2x' during seedling, they sent replacement driver each time. I got a new surge protector and went to new socket and everything has been smooth since. That scared me tho so I got a spider farmer g8600 860w led light for backup and their 40w UV B lights which I have added to the progrow1800 light for now. I got ac infinitys humidifier, Their 6 inch isolating fan, a vivosun 6 inch isolating fan and a hurricane 6in isolating fan too. Recently had to get a $75 dehumidifier off Amazon and it don't really help.. kinda wasted my money. Tonight I bought another 4x4 off Amazon for $76 it looks identical to ac infinity tent but it even had the side bars for high air flow, it's got good reviews.... I only need it for drying but if it's good I may throw the spider farmer light in their and have 2x grows lol. Idk if I can handle that though. Running floraflex full tilt as well but in 3g coco perlite mix.. but 70/30 I guess. I tried to get the best equipment I could in my price range and it seems to be working. I want to try some sort of self watering like autopots next time or possibly even dwc later on. Cleaning up runoff sucks bad. Sorry for rambling just wanted to say I see how good your doing and wanted to acknowledge ya growmie.. seems we're similar in our research, our genetics, our nutes, and both being new. So fingers crossed we crush it! Good luck!

@Jsammy09, I appreciate the kind words, and I was thinking of getting hlg but I chose the grow light science and then spider farmer had a killer deal and I figured if I ever use it I can turn it down to like 60% as it is a huge light and hopefully prolong it's life. If you grew up round hlg then we're not to far apart, I'm north and bleed blue if you what I mean ;) Hoping Governor gets a push on this medical bill so we don't have to hide this anymore. I don't even smoke or use this medicine, It's for my disabled spouse. She has a trach to breathe through after a accident, long story short, her lack of breathing has made her disabled.. so she tossed all the opiods and pills and this plant gave her her life back! I said right then and there I will do whatever possible to grow the cleanest and tastiest medicine for her. All we get here is rag weed. So anything I grow will be 20x better. Anywho I'm ramblin again, good luck finishing yours and hopefully I'll get mine to finish good as well! 👋

@@DoughHead, Yeah man I just looked at your grow and it looks fantastic! I have another 4x4 for drying that I am wanting to buy another light and and start a coco run too. I am loving floraflex, granted I don't have anything to compare it to. I have to feed pretty light honestly and since I am using RO water I need the higher end on the requirements for calmag which makes my EC run a little higher than I would prefer, but the plants seem very happy with what they are getting. I looked at lights for so long before I made a decision, I paid a little more than I wanted but if you look around you can find discount codes for sure and since I'm a vet i got 20% off which was sweet, thinking about getting a refurbished Blackhawk for around $420 from them with discounts if they still have when I'm ready. I chose HLG because of their relationship with Samsung (always top bin leds), the par uniformity was great as well as the efficiency, incredible customer service and warranty, and I grew up two hours away from where they are manufactured. I'm very happy with the purchase, but that prowgro, spider farmer, mars hydro all great lights and put out about the same amount of par and everything. A lot of it is preference in my opinion. Dr Bruce Bugbee has some great videos, I highly recommend if you haven't seen any, although you look like you did a ton of research too, so im guessing you have. I appreciate the kind words and good luck on the rest of your grow friend!👊

The ladies are very pretty growmie 💚 💪 Sorry to hear about your back...I hope that cannabis helps with the pain 🙏 You had to watch and read a tone of "how to grow" material, judging by the equipment you bought for a first growop 😎Your growspace looks so cool. To the question from couple weeks ....yes! definitely instal a net. The plants will need it to keep the balance and not fall to the sides together with the net pots and roots when the grow bigger and hevier. And they gonne grow big if you will continue this course...my plants drink like 2.5 gal. per day and that in the peak times, yours already drink more 💪💪💪 They are going to be monsters 😅

@Jsammy09, Thank you for the compliments but if you go through my journals you'll see I'm a sloppy grower 😂😆 my girls are left unattended for weeks at times. The success I get is because the DWC is really one of the most efficient methods to grow. With an efficient light fixture and DWC a man truly can achieve great results. You got a great target! Helping veterans grow their own truly is therapeutic as you stated above. ..on one hand the flower helps alleviate the pain and stress, on the other the whole gardening experiance is relaxing in itself. As for your your present grow... if you plan on installing a net, I would space out the girls a we bit in the middle so that you provide some space for the plants to 'colonize'...I think that your plants are still before the biggest stretch (could be I'm wrong though ;) Still if I'm wrong and your girls will stop stretching soon, the fixture you got has a great light spread so even in case the middle of the grow room will stay empty the plants will not loose out and they win living space and more air.

@Metatronix, Thank you so much I really appreciate it! Your grows are freaking incredible! Im sure ill be spending a few hours going over all your grows now. I really did spend a lot of time. I'm a disabled vet and have a lot of sleepless nights so I spent that time researching, watching videos, going through journals and blogs. That alone helped, but I knew I was buying a house and I wanted to be able to grow better quality medicine for myself for much cheaper. This whole process has been therapeutic for me and the community of growers are amazing. So many talented people like yourself to learn from. Eventually one day when I learn and get it all figured out, id like to be able to help fellow veterans improve their quality of life by growing for themselves. I really do appreciate the positive words and advice friend!

@dinni5yn, Hey thanks so much brother! I check yours too every time I long on here, I really dig the reads on your post, top notch man. Your plants are looking awesome too and we are getting close to the finish! Im 100% looking for to the second run in the RDWC and I think I will experiment with coco very soon and give that a shot as well. I left some reviews on flora flex and ended up getting like $160 in free stuff from them so I managed to snag a little 4pot 5 gal setup with their drainage system, so pretty stoked to giving that a run and see the difference. Thanks for all the kind words man I really do appreciate it!
