Hello everybody, my name is Chris and I am really excited to start contributing here at the Urban Hydroponic Growers Union. I started gardening outdoors in soil about ten years ago.

Strawberries get Tri-meter

ProZachJ — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 01:02:39 +0000

Added a Tri-meter to the setup to help with nutrient maintenance. I highly recommend these things as they save a lot of effort when watching your nutrient concentration and pH I also decided to crawl under the rails and take some pictures. This is pretty much what I have to do every day to find [...]

Since Charles is about to move and in between grows. I get to hog some wattage. Check out these pics of a 4×4 grow lab with (4) 90W UFO LEDs. That’s right my friends, 360W of LED glory. If I don’t get some boostamente out of this setup, I might just have to give up [...]

These pictures where taken on May the sixth, at this point in the grow the plants where just starting to yield their first fruit. Most all the plants had between 5 and 8 mature leaves, so I felt that it was time to begin the transition to an LED only grow. I added a third [...]

Pancake Theory

ProZachJ — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 01:46:00 +0000

Have you ever noticed that when you get up early on a Saturday morning to cook some flapjacks, the first one never seems to come out quite right? The same always seems to be true for plants. The first fruit from a given plant always seems to be a little undersized and take a little [...]

Lettuce harvest and Cucumbers Ahoy!

ProZachJ — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 01:36:00 +0000

On Friday (day 34) I began harvesting and enjoying my bibb lettuce. I planted the replacements directly in the rail system. I decided that a constant light cycle was a little too much stress so I have adjusted down to a 20/4 light cycle. On the cucumber front…unfortunately 3 [...]
