JointVenture420 Doing good the first week in their pots. Hydro is definitely not as time consuming as having to water coco coir everyday. July 11th is week 2 we changed the water in both buckets so now we wait until we have to change them next week, all I have to do is add water if it gets low. Added some pics of our stuff will definitely do things easier and different next time but this will do for the first time. Still a little leggy but they will work themselves out.

JointVenture420 Today is water change day. I add a gallon or 2 to the buckets during the week with armor si and hydroguard in them and pH at 6.0pH.Did things differently this week, Its hot here so wrapped ou buckets with reflective insulation and bought a water chiller. Water is currently 66° in my buckets. Started LST this week using some BudTrainer Bud clips. Everything is growing big fast and its great. I will be starting a new plant to grow in coco next week to grow alongside it. Enjoy the pictures. Having a blast.

JointVenture420 This is our second week of bloom. Everything is getting bigger . The purple punch plant has decide it wants to be a bush. No matter how much I train it to spread out it insist on being a bush. Its a beautiful bush though. Purple lemonade is going to be the star of this harvest for sure. 8/8/2026-8/15/2026

JointVenture420 Week 3 of bloom. 8/15/2026-8/22/2026 Purple lemonade is definitely starting to bloom. Purple punch is still a bush and it seems to be a week behind Purple lemonade. They both look and smell great. For the first time with hydro I can't complain about the outcome so far. I won't be doing hydro again until a get a proper circulating system. The bucket system is too difficult and time consuming.
