My Hydro Chronic Setup (1st seedling sprouted)

Located in the UK, S London.

This is just after the first week.

This is the setup:

Measurments: 2m tall and 1m by 0.5m

400 watt Silver Wing System
400 Watt Metal Halide
400 Watt Sodium Grolux
One Light - Timer Contactor
WaterFarm X 3
GroWell Clone & Seed Rooter Kit (includes rooting hormon and formulex.)
Lti Extractor Fans 4" RVK100
Vita Link Liquid Silicon 1 Litre
Mylar Longlife 4m
Vita Link grow and bloom, PH Down
Have a look in the picture for a complete picture of the nutrents setup.

And a pack of 15 Chronic Seeds from SS (Dr Chronic).


Currently there is one seed that has sprouted with the light far above as shows in the picture. The light i would say is about 1.5m above the plant.
There are 3 more, (we can only use two), two of them (i think) are about to sprout. They are in a propagator in a nice warm place with a bit of formulex.

Im soaking the clay pebbles in water with a correct PH overnight.

The setup was an investment, but I'm thinking that I can easily make that back quickly. Any info on the kind of money that could be made out a 3 chro harvest would be greatly apprecieted.

How do you know you are going to get three female plants? Are they female seeds?
You have all the right stuff. There seems to be plenty of light. Buy three more buckets and grow six. That way maybe you will get three female plants.

looks like a neat little set up.How about doing clones once u get going, this will eliminate the posability of males.

I wanted to have 6 plants but its not my property + there isnt any space.
In time (and with more money) maybe i will take off the back wall (i think theres room) or build into the next closet, but like i said it isn't my property.

In regards to F v M. These are not femmed seeds, but I'm hoping to still get maybe a full house of ses or 2 at least, after that it might be interesting to explore the possibility of cloning. The reason Chro was chosen is because there is a lot of demand for it + it gives good yeilds.

By the way, this is my first grow (I didnt mention that before).

Careful getting hte lights too near the plants early on - they give out a shitload of heat and it can wipe out your little seedings if you are not careful. Given them chance to get established before putting them in the 'growing machine'

Update

Sorry about the lack of updates.

Unforseen problems occured and the one in the pic died. However another quite nicely sprung up (Day 7, currently day 8) as is shown in the pic.

It looked a bit yellow at the time. I put it in the grow closet with the light quite high up. The following day it was looking a nice healthy green with another set of leaves happily appearing. I decided that the seed may have been to young to take Vitalink Grow, so I used Formulex.

Set up for the Waterfarm:

4 litres of water about 2 litres is distilled.
Ph: 6.4
Formulex about 40% of dosage (20ml).
Vitalink Silicon (quite a small dose about 30%) (5ml)
The light is about halfway up the space.

The root was already sticking out of the rockwool, and the following day it had developed hairs.
With regards to the rest of the seeds another two have been planted incase one fails again, they are quite happy in an airing cupboard just above room temp, sprayed with some water and formulex (half dose) every now and again.

Absolutley. those are too young for the nutrients your providing the first two weeks you basically want to just feed them B1 and proper ph water nothing else until the first sets of leaves are developed.
Also try just using a flourescent light for seedlings and little clones until they are big enough to take the big light.
Excited to see the rest. keep posting
