Finally got to start a grow, something ive wanted to do for years. After a lot of research I decided to try hydroponics since I didn't have room for a big tent I wanted to try and maximise yield and quality. I ordered seeds from zamnesia, Bruce banner, lemon haze, gsc and gorilla glue being personal favourites of mine, I got the blue dream and critical for free so decided to try sprout one of each, the power lemon haze was a dud (will try it again on next run as its my preferred daytime smoke). Tent is budbox pro 75x75x160cm, chosen purely because it was the biggest tent that I could fit between beams in my attic. I had a few spare 50 litre storage boxes that were a good fit for the tent without being too tall. I cut holes in the lid of the box for the square netpots, ring shaped air stone and small aquarium air pump. Had some aluminium tape leftover so thought it would be good to reflect some light and maybe heat from the tank. I used jiffy pellets and a propagotor to germinate the seeds, used filtered tap water to soak the jiffys, and went straight in with the seeds, didn't pre soak them. They popped over the course of about 5 days, pretty much one each day. They were very stretchy as I wasn't using a grow light and just used natural light in my kitchen. Once I had my tent setup I put a handful of clay pebbles in each netpot, then the jiffy and covered with more pebbles.

Can anyone offer advice or experience on harvesting some of the bigger more mature buds early while leaving the rest of the plant in tact to mature? Checked the trichomes and the big top buds look ready, everything lower down is clear/milky

things are looking good for you, doing a partial harvest is great, this way you cut off the top buds that are done, and leave the lower parts to stay in the grow until you want to harvest them. real easy just cut to the buds that are not ready, hang the ready buds, wait and repeat. happy soon to be harvest, you did a great job grow friend

Tell me more about the setup you've got going! That blue bag in photo 1 of week 9 -- assume you pre-mix your nutrient water every few days and let a water pump do the work? Would appreciate you sharing the hardware you're using. My ladies are starting to DRINK and I need a solution like yours.

@WeedDoctorSam, I've got a little chiller that has a pump circulating the nutrients through some clear pvc tubing. To drain my tank all im really doing is interrupting the flow from the chiller back into the tank by pulling the return line from the chiller out of the top of the tank and placing it in the blue bag to drain. I usually wait until my tank is less than half full when I drain it as it's less effort (less water to pump out, move and dispose of) and less wasteful also (there are still unused nutrients in there) When I can see air bubbles running through the chiller lines and the flow has slowed down significantly, I take the chiller return line (clear pvc tubing) out of the blue bag and place it back into the top of my tank, then I pump in my fresh batch of nutrients and im good to go for a few days

@Flowers_By_Irene, this is super helpful, thanks! "...then pump it in when the old nutes have drained and I've put my return line back" Can you say more about this? When the old nutes have drained = your grow tank 1/2 full or below? And what does "when I've put my return line back" mean? THANKS and happy growin to you too!
