Got a late start this year

DawgNutts · May 24, 2017

I got a late start this year, but I have a game plan. Built an indoor grow area, then when they get big enough, I'm going to move them out to self watering totes. Self watering totes seem to produce the best for me last year.

Here are some pics of the ebb and flow table I built. Only saved about $100 bucks from just buying a fast&fit frame, but oh well.

Nice setup Dawg.

Simple but effective. Post progress pics.

Better late than never! You have some good growth going - what did germinate?

Nice setup, never too late. Those PVC pipes are very handy

I had to adjust my watering to every few days. Looks like they are starting to take off. Here are some update pics.

I really like the simplicity of my set up. I only really have to change the reservoir solution every other week. Getting really good growth and dark green healthy leaves. I do have a few plants that are curling but they are still growing. Lots of buds starting to form. I'm just using General Hydroponics Flora Series (Micro, Gro and Bloom). This page helps when prepping the reservoir solution https://www.hydroponics.net/learn/weekly_feeding_program_flora.php . Most of the plants (24) are in 4 inch grow blocks...and I have 4 of them in 6 inch grow blocks. I may have to thin it out because they are getting a bit crowded. Then again I might just leave them all in there to fight it out.
A few pics I took today.

The end of the tape measure is sitting on the top of the grow block.
