My hydro setups

[Terkel]

Well. as some may remember, i've changed from soil to hydro grows. And i just wanna show you my 2 setups.

 

Sorry about the bad pictures, but i lend my digicam to a girlfriend, and she lost it in a yellow cap i New York... DANM that b.... :angry:

So some af the pictures are taken with my mobile phone.

 

First, this is my ebb/flow setup i'm using for vegging my clones:

Each bucket is 65 liters, and the one on top is filled whit Leca when the setup is running.

And this is my DWC setup(bubler) in my bloom-room, right now theres only 2 buckects whit 4 plant in each, but in this week il add 4 buckets more, so i'm ending up with 24 plants

Niiice, good to see someone giving hydro a go...

 

A few comments though...

 

It would appear you have very stretched plants, could this be from high humidity or excessive plant numbers? It may also be a result of low light levels, or old lamps....

 

And yeah, you may want to consider individual bubblers for each plant, given that it will be harder to separate plants should that be necessary, and if you're growing them that large vegetatively then they'll certainly need more room in development.... Keep in mind they'll up to triple in height from the end of veg to the end of flowering, sometimes more if under less than ideal conditions.

 

Still, you seem to have things going okay, the plant in the flood and drain looks nice, or is that several? Ahh, this may explain the stretching....

It would appear you have very stretched plants

Well, your right about my plants being stretched, but due to the fact that i've in need of space to vegge, and that i've started this plants way to early, so that the girls was placed in my vegge closet in about 40 days before my last Soil-grow was harvested so my bloom-room was ready for new plants.

My vegge-closet only have a 250W HPS, with is way to little light for 9 plants :thumbdown

 

Next time, my girls will be placed in my "bloom-room" for the hole period (both for vegge and bloom). My vegge-closet will then bee used for motherplants i can clone from. I think thats the best solution consider my problem with lack of space.

 

the plant in the flood and drain looks nice, or is that several?

Yes, infact theres 9 plants in the closet on that picture :thumbdown .. 8 skunk#1 and 1 Blue berry.

 

Keep in mind they'll up to triple in height from the end of veg to the end of flowering

hmm.. your might bee right about the plants are placed too tight, but i'm planing on vegging for 1 month, so i don't think they are getting that big, but if its turns out thats its a problem, ill consider individual bubblers

 

given that it will be harder to separate plants should that be necessary

hehe I KNOW, i spendt hours on separating the plants from my flood and drain setup. :angry:

 

BTW, please correct my spelling, so i can improve my english, i'm living in Denmark you see.
