So this is grow #3
my second grow in DWC ended short, out of the 2 plants in buckets, one got root rot, the other was male. I had a third plant that i vegged along with the DWC buckets just in a pot with hydroton flooding 2 times a day by hand...that plant i started flowering at 11 inches, was female, transplanted to my DIY ebb and flow bucket system, and is now over 15 inches tall, budding beautifully.
the ebb and flow system:
i used 2 3.5 gall buckets, one sits ontop of the other, the botom one has 8 litres (2 gal) of water in it along with a small submersible pump, there is a 1/2 inch hose running from the pump to the bottom of the top bucket, this bucket is filled with hydroton pellets, at the top of the bucket there is a 3/4 inch hose that runs back to the bottom reservoir bucket. currently i flood at lights on and lights off by hand but i will soon get a timer and set it to 3 times a day for 15 mins.
im using flora nova nutes, im curently at 2tsp/gal, i try and keep my ph a bit under 6 but its a bitch using those color drops
all of this is in a 4X3.75X7 ft DIY grow box, iv got 2 fans at the top pulling air out and openings for air to flow in, temps are fine at around 79 with lights on and 74 with lights off
i atached a few pics to show you the setup and my baby
i have some seeds germinating ATM and when they pop ill give em a week of 18/6 under my t5 fixture then throw em in 12/12 with this one
