Setup:
2 rooms
1st Room- Veg/Clone Room
Clones are in 4inch rockwool Cubes in a Flood and drain/ Ebb and Flow table. I have 12 Ak, 6 Juicy fruit, 4 DP
They are under a 400w MH on a 24/7 schedule.
Currently nutes are Gh 3 Part. 2G,2M,2B per Gal.
Temps Never more then 80 and never less than 70 F.
25 Gal res with airstone and circulating pump.

PH is always between 5.5 and 6.0
2nd Room Veg/Flower
Room is about 10X6X7
1 6inch inlet duct fan and one 8inch exhaust pulling through the big can carbon filter.
Room is basically vaccuum sealed I like it clean.
Water*
Res is 44 GAL Heavy Duty Garbage can. During veg I keep it at 30 Gal and flower 40+ GAL. GH 3 part
*Lights*
2 1000 watt MH for veg and 2 1000 watt hps conversions for grow. I will be switching to 3 600 W switchable ballasts that support true MH and HPS bulbs later.

This is the schedule I use http://www.hydroponics.net/learn/weekly_feeding_program_flora.asp


So I grow in the first room until roots appear out of the bottom of the cubes. Then I transplant them to the buckets which are filled with hydroton. For veg I have it on a 3 time a day schedule for watering. I had it on 4 times but they would droop for over watering.

My first grow was a mix of ak plants and a bunch I didn't know. The problem was they all grew at different rates so I would have to give whatever the fastest growers wanted which in turn would kill the slower ones. I'm just about to be finished within the next couple weeks on the flowering of Grow #1. I didn't use any LST or HST on the first one just because I wanted to get a feel for growing. I will definetly be tying these ones down though or using the pinch and fold method.
 
heres a couple pics of the clone/veg room
I still cant find my camera so I had to use my phone

So I noticed the DP does ot like alot of nutes. Im getting slight nute burn on just the DPs but all others are great. The ak clones for cut at the same time as the others, all off of mothers that are always in veg, but just the aks have flowering induced. I've had them on a 24/7 light on schedule for a week and only one has turned back to veg stage. It's weird there should be no reason why they are showing flowers. Hopefully they will revert back without turning hermie
 
So I know it's only but 2 days but growth has been crazy. Roots are popping out of the 4 inch cube already. In a week I'll be transplanting.

The second two pics are Juicy fruit and the last is AK

These things are growing like crazy :watchplant: Now I can see how stunted my last grow was. I think nutes are perfect right now tool. The leaves have great color, To give an idea of height the one in the last pic is 21 inches an was about 6 a week and a half ago. I have already began LST on the majority of them and I also pinched the stems 3 days ago and they have all come back fully healed and tougher. Just relaly excited since this only my second grow. Although I'm sure I'll be this excited on all of em... :)

so 4 days later things are still going great. I added some hydroton to cover the roots up that are growing out of the cubes. Tomorrow I'll be switching nutes from 5, 2.5, 2.5 to 10,5,3 I think they will all be able to handle that just fine. We shall see

If you Can't find something, Then smoke another to loose it or find it...;)
 
yeah I never found it... I even tried the above method :)

Because of the light I get these lines in the pic so it's all I have until I get a new camera sorry. I do want to update with pics though so just excuse those annoying lines for the next week or so.

Since the aks were flowering from clones they obviously grew slower while trying to get them into veg so I didnt transplant them. I'll do it on the next grow though and they should be ready.

Thanks I'm still a novice but I am very happy for my second grow. I just cloned them too but only time will tell if that worked
