Grow Mediums Oh No..BayLee420 Going Hydro

[BayLee420]

LST on Tuesday. Getting some light into the middle of the canopy.

Today. Just under three days. Filling in very nicely. Only running 325 PPM on her. The pH is stable, dropping a little each day. Staying in the 5.5-6.5 range. Drinking maybe a quart daily. Roughly 1/3 strength of the West Coast Horticulture A & B Grow, 5 ml per gallon of their Micronutrient and 5 ml per gallon of UC Roots.
Keeping the Rez temp at 62F-68F.
The Ice Probe is working well.
Amazed at the size of her. She's 5 1/2 weeks old

She's not very tall at all. Got plenty of flower stretch there. Nice and fat.

Happy Easter Sunday to all.
Amnesia Haze Autoflower's massive root system. I can assure you these roots are Lilly white. Going on her 6th week. Starting Bloom nutrients next Rez change.

Starting on her 6th week. Stopped Grow nutrients. UC Roots "flush" for 24 hours and started her Bloom nutrients today.
Having a hard time getting West Coast Horticulture Bloom A & B. Their website has three retailers that offer online purchase. Only one even states it has the line and the Bloom A & B is not available. Sent an email to WCH. No answer. Tried my new "Stoner" chick's Grow Store and being a Stoner....well you know where this is going.
I went with Cyco Bloom A & B from another Grow store.

Filling up nicely with nice buds forming.

Stem base. Good and thick

Closing up the Stealth Armoire

All doors shut and nobody is the wiser.

Wow, how do you have room for any solution in that bucket with all those roots? Looking fine.

The Rez is a 14 gallon Rough Tote from Lowes. We just see the top 1/4 of the Rez. Three quarters of the Rez is below the Grow space. The volume of solution is topped off at 7 gallons. That's 56 lbs of weight, so it needed to be bolted by wood screws into the Grow space's floor. There is 4 X 2" air stones bubbling up the solution. The roots are very happy. Never in a million grows would I see anything like the size of this root system. Hooked on Hydro (DWC). The Amnesia Haze Auto is roughly the size of three or four two gallon Smart Pots that would be my standard grow containers. Very happy going so far.

The bottom of the Stealth Armoire. Rez is insulated. Ice Probe and ballast; the fan on the Ice Probe actually keeps the ballast cool.
The Armoire is now a DWC Stealth Armoire.

It's hard to go back to soil once you've tasted hydro. I'm still growing my autos in soil but that's mainly because setting up my outdoor box for hydro isn't practical and I'd be limited to one strain per grow. I like the variety and am not looking for huge yields from my autos. I used to do 9 at a time and now I only do 5 or 6, all different strains. If I get an oz. and a half per plant I'm happy.

You're got a nice stealth set up going there. I like that Ice Probe. Perfect for what you're doing.

Week Seven.
Amnesia Haze Autoflower.
She's starting to smell a little. On her 2nd week of Bloom. Very green.
Roots are massive. Slight discolor, but nothing serious. There is four air stones in the Rez. I may have to put in the industrial air pump with six air stones. In fact I will as soon as I can get to the Grow Shop.

PPM: 600 range. May be a little too much. Slight tip burn. This is her MAX for now

pH is very stable 5.8-6.3. All through out the week's Rez cycle.

Rez temp. 63F-68F
That's thanks to the Ice Probe.

She's filling up the entire Grow space.
She's a Wonder to behold.

Week 8
Amnesia Haze Autoflower
Put in the large air pump that's pushing 6 x 2" air stones. The roots are getting plenty of oxygen. Bubbles coming right through the massive root system.

Third Bloom Rez change today.
PPM: @500
pH: 5.5
Temp @65F
Coming along nicely.
