Outdoor Hydro

[evilboof13]

Hi All, new to the forum, ive set up a small outdoor hydro setup which gets about 80% of daily sunlight,

 

just wondering if anyone has any tips for me,

i grew these from seed in dirt, and put them into hydro at 4 weeks old(2" tall)

 

do you think they will survive, and any tips on getting them nice and healthy and budding before winter and sorry about the quality of pics, mobile phone is crap!

 

ps, im about 250km south of perth

At this time of year your plants will flower straight away so don't expect much of a yield.

hi there evilboof13..

 

like your setup mate

 

I had a NFT setup I was always going to try outside, but never got around to doing it..

 

unfortunately the days are getting shorter now so I believe it will start flowering soon, around the middle of spring may have been a better time to start

 

good luck

so how old are they now?

 

I have to say, I dont know if its lack of quality light or they are being stunned by another factor, maybe over watering.

Cause they are some pretty small 5 week old plants

 

This was my last crop after 20 days from seed

 

What nutriance do you mix with your water. Whats your EC and PH readings?

They look awful...

Whats with like the splatter of shit on the base of the plants?

ive just put in some old shitty plants i had growing, started in dirt and have never been that good, ive got 2 others flowering now which are about 2 ft tall,

 

i was mainly showing you`s my 20 buck setup, i dont expect much from the plants that are in there!!!!

best of luck with it mate

I like your thinking evilboof. but would be to start with with more established seedlings as you would already know. ITs possible to lengthen the veg time too in spite of the decreasing daylight hours. Just hang a small fluro over the plant at night on a timer and you can delay the onset of flower. My mate done this with excelent results. Any way i hope one or two of them take off for you

and even outdoor scrog works the same as indoor

excellent

i get 10oz per m2 outdoors

 

so dont waist you time with crappy geens

 

i have been dreaming of hydro in the ground

i havent got it to reality yet

yet i feel it is possible to do away with pots or containers

and use a hydro potting medium as a raised garden bed

running a drip feed, drain to waist ,type system

using scrog and enclosing the budz in a mini plastic hothouse

 

how ever

because of the season and the age of your plants

imo

i would

veg indoor and bloom outdoor
