My love for hydroponics

[thatguyfromglasgow]

Hello, I love growing and been doing my hydroponics thing forever, I'm here in the UK so everything is done with a low profile I had been growing a few years but always struggled to consistently get enough herb to last me until next one was ready, one time would be great next time would be rubbish? Then I discovered growweedeasy.com and hygrohybrid around the same time, what a difference you guys have made to my growing. I always give you (Nebula & Sirius) and hygrohybrid credit for my success in hitting the target on every grow.

My set up is like this

1.2m grow tent + 80x80 smaller veg tent
300w CFL for Veg tent
400w-660w 240v ballast and bulb (new)+ uvb supplemental light
Air cooled shade or Adjust -A-Wing (using a-wing just now switch to air cooled in the summer)
I run 2 nft tanks or 4 oxypots sometimes one big 45ltr pot
Environmental control unit attached to 5" fan 6" filter passive intake, negative pressure (tent gets sucked in)
Nutrients are simple as you can get GHE (just called GH in America?)
Grow, Micro, Bloom.
Cal-mag, silicon, lemon juice, raw cane molasses, I run pretty low nutrient levels 140-700ppm max ph 5.5 - 6.5 keeps my plants in the happy zone
Lets see if I can post some pictures? Yes I can I've just started 2 new clones of 24k gold getting ready to do the same thing again, more pictures this is first time I've put the small pot inside the other one, It will let me run a bit more water in the oxy pots (right up to the inside pot) I don't want to over do it on my first post so i'll stop right now lol

hey that guy welcome I like that trellis idea. hows that work compared to the usual horizontal screen. looks good from the pictures, I grow in coco/perlite but I have a friend that does hydro , the differences are amazing we tend to grow the same strains and his times are shorter, my yields are within a couple of oz. I'm ok with that

I'm a hydroponics grower as well, and I love it a lot!! My girls are happy with it!! Your buds look BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

thanks for the welcome oldjarhead100 alltatup This was my first time doing this v-scrog thing, I was using up space left in the tent after my scrog went tits up lol. they hardly stretched at all, I was very disappointed but had this bright idea to try growing what I knew to be a leggy tall plant up the wall it worked amazingly well, now if I can just get the other flat scrog right i'll be killing it from now on lol

Nice work! Thanks for posting.
Starting a second grow today. And adding a second Water Farm. My friends are are inhaling the first grow.
Yes, I like hydro a lot.
Year round science project with very nice consequences.
Quality, smoothness, aroma, appearance make the commercial stuff I was buying look like dirt weed.
All by following directions with the insights and tips from this Forum.

Yup: I was paying $400/oz for stuff that wasn't cured properly, prolly wasn't well flushed, etc. etc. Thank goodness for this Forum!!

Hey alltatup here are some bubble gum pictures I'll just post them from the start Just about to set up the final pots and get them switched to flower

For a while there, they looked like identical sextuplets!!! Gorgeous!! I'm about to start using Hydroton rather than rock wool; really looking forward to switching to it.
