1st Hydro Run

[Joe Beans]

Finishing up my first hydro run. Learned a TON, and am thrilled to get the next one going. This spot was filled to the brim with my 91 Mintz (chem 91 x iraqi mintz) and Dual OG (True OG x Banana OG) cuts I hunted from Strayfox and In House Genetics respectively.

In your experience, is there any major differences between end product when it comes to soil vs hydro growing?

This one was ran start to finish with House & Garden Nutrients, probably only vegged for 3 weeks, and both plants performed much differently than in my previous runs with them (the Dual OG considerably healthier and better looking).
Netting will be better on the next round, and ideally i'll have some washers in here so as to mitigate how much trimming this has brought to my table lol.

Happy Hunting!🤘

Beautiful room...

I just went back to soil from a couple years of hydro, nothing of your size. I am happy to have weed with terps when dry again. All kinds of terps when growing but after chop, dry and cure little to none.

I had some great runs in 2 years but never got autowatering dialed in cause I was always doing mixed strains.
I got tired of hauling water upstairs and bring 25% or more of it back down as waste. I wanted to slow it down again with soil and a bit less work.

Thanks so much! thrilled to share more details of these things than IG would ever allow me. I'll definitely be updating in here!

You are stealing my best punchlines!

Phooey on hi-tech.
A brick works fine as a paperweight, doesn't matter if it's clay or gold.

I once saw a long horizontal sock as I was driving by a greenhouse. I got a close enough look to understand what I was seeing, I just had to let my brains stew on it for a while before I figured that's what it was.
This particular Greenhouse is owned by the municipality and I have seen them overwintering sensitive bulbs and perennials in there and also germinating bedding-out plants in the early spring. I assumed the sock was for co2, but it makes more sense now that it was delivering Heat.

Thank you, for taking the time to explain that to me. I did not know that this off the roll consumer product existed. ( the one I saw was quite industrial looking , at least 50 ft long and when deflated appeared to be made of silk, kind of like a Coleman lantern sock )
I can really see the advantages, as this system would facilitate laminar flow ie: high volume low pressure

Thanks for sharing. Take as many Plumbing photos as you please, I dig looking at that kind of stuff. 🐇

Man that sounds great ! I'm a huge fan of, well, any strains that gives you a nose tingle when you smell it and makes your knees wobble haha.
