what light did you use? could i get away with cfls? how many would br good? are they better than t5's?
you could try doing a little research/reading to figure all these things out too bro...I've read the answer to every question you've asked on this site in one place or another....

Hey guys, nice looking porn there man. Good job.


So sorry I have not been in lately guys, Real life has kinda got me in a choke hold right now.

I was not able to get many shots of my plant this time before i harvested.
This is what I got from medusa.

6.5 Ounces dry weight.

that's 5 o worth in the jars.
I will be honest, I didn't give this grow the attention it needed so the bud didn't turn out as great as the black berry, but it's good enough. Fucks me right up :P


I already have a clone of medusa in the tent vegging out a bit. I am hoping this time around i will be able to spend more time with my baby. hehe.:leaf::leaf:

Im not sure if I would really fit into this thread. because I use tubes up to week 3 so Im not true dwc I suppose. But what I don't understand is how you're supposed to keep your roots wet untill they touch the solution without tubes.

fill the bucket till it reaches the bottom of the net pot. I also scoop a few cups out of the res 2 or three times a day and dump it from the top till the roots are in the deep water.

You could also use a water pump. The water will have enough Oxygen that it will not kill the plant. Use rockwool and clay.

So I dont know how I missed this thread. Im all about the DWC. It is my first grow using this system and going to try and master it....
good thing its been relatively easy till now.

Hey there.....Appreciate the opportunity to talk to someone about problems. Well detailed outlines here. I have:
I am on day 8 of bloom.

DWC x2 5 gallon buckets independent
4x4 growing area on a 3x4 screen. Fully Filled
20-30 tops
600 W HPS digital Hortilux EYE
440 CFM through carbon filter
140 CFM passive intake
72-82 F
70 Water Temp
40-50 RH
1000 PPM Botanicare Bloom and Liquid Karma and Cal Mag at about 65%
Epsom salt in buckets 3 tbsp
Subculture B

So I have several questions:


1. I also have some Kool Bloom Liquid, Hygrozyme, Bud Blast and Liquid Light that I want to get into the mix. How should I get them involved? Which ones should I involve?
2. I have pictures and outline on my profile. I am also having a problem with PM. I cut back alot, increased ventilation and added greencure to foliar feeding.

So i just did my furst flower water change. I checked my levels 3 days ago. Guess I got to check them earlier. The PH was at 4.3 in both. The ppm in one bucket was at ec 3 and the other was at 1.6....so somthings going on. I took some pics....im gonna post em.
this is some bull. I just added a common res that is cut off for now so I can meter regularly. Im just waiting to resolve this. New nutes water and the kool bloom and hygrozyme to the mix


Any help with that would be great!

...so I would appreciate it.

cheers.

If your new to dwc, I'd recomend checking levels twice daily. Usually a little after lights on and right before lights out works great. It's also a good Idea to run the ppm's a little on the low side until you are familiar with what your strain can take. You also generally dont have to add the bloom nutrients until pistils are showing 1-2 weeks into flower, some strains with even get nutrient burned if you do. I havent used those addatives before, so I cant really give advice on how to use them. Hope this helps.

Hey guys, haven't posted here in a bit. I just remodeled my flower room and thought I'd throw up some pics. Running dual 600w's in SuperSun2's on a lumatek dual 600w. Added the new Hydrogen MiniGen and am cooling it with drain to waste, and as always, running my 5gal serilites. More pics in the journal.

So heres whats going on.

I balanced both buckets 3 days ago (EC and PH to 1100 x500 ec and ph 5.:cool: and I balanced my reservoir the same. I started putting in that hygrozyme (a capful per 3.5 gal) .

So the ph was creepin up to about 6.2 in both independent buckets ...but I put in some PH down and got them back to 5.8 and the PPM was staying the same.

So tonight, I checked the ppm of that plant that has been giving me problems...the ph was the same 5.8 ...but the ppm was up to 1200-1300 ppm flashing in between.....
THe other plant is fine......and all is stablized....for now.....

WHats going on here.....leaves definately yellower on the plant with the issue?

So the Ph was goin up....not down...and ec goin up in one bucket?
