from germinating the seeds to harvest starting on 9/5/08 The object of this grow is show beginners an easy way to grow with few moving parts and an easy nute formula.
Nirvana Citral Citral produces a nice mellow herbal taste, very good yield and strong hard buds. Indoor for best results, grow relatively tall before changing the photo period.

you really shouldn't rely on water measurements and schedules unless you're going hydro. you need to get used to the plant's rhythm or you'll end up with root rot from overwatering or other probs. it's not an exact science...

Thank you for your comments dez. Guess it would help if I put this is my first post.
This is a passive hydro system called Hempy Buckets. It has a 2" internal reservior. (1.25" on the 3/4 gal) A hole is drilled in the side of the bucket and the bucket is put in a tray to catch overflow if any.
The idea is to water everyday until the roots hit the bottom reservior. Then roughly every other day after that.

More Pics. I transplanted into the big buckets since i have more space now. I accidently used the wrong nute mix and twice fed the plant a 550 nute mix instead of water and a bit of superthrive. A slight setback.

Having some construction work done on my house so the veg room has to go. The plants are so small but I may put them into the flower room to get the females and clone from there. I have no idea if it will work but it's either that or toss them.
