Oh well...live and learn

[mr.greengenes]

I had 3 Super Lemon Haze in a Stealth Hydro bubbleponics system. 1 is doing well, budding, a little on the scant size but I learned from my mistake. These plants grew too tall for the light I have; 250 watt hps with CFL supplement. The other 2 were just barely budding, spindly and had no promise for significant production. I cut them down today. This was my first hydroponic grow and I attribute the failure to too much plant and not enough light or reservoir (6 gallon tote bin).

I'm leaving my options open for my next attempt. I have AK-48 beans, but maybe I'll buy some clones more appropriate for my growing environment and produce a harvest a little sooner.

Win some, lose some. Better luck next time I hope.

what size area you workin with? also is if height is an issue you need to look at a number of things veg time being one and the other would be strain. sativa or sativa dominant plants are going to grow tall most idicas arent to bad

Mr Green - how long did you veg them for? I'm no expert, but that size light for 3 plants should be fine, although more watts the better in flowering. Sucks about the Lemon - I just got some a few weeks ago and it was delicious. Better luck on round 2. I just did my 1st system (drip w/Coco) and so far so good. I will post some updates real soon. Good luck on the next batch.
