1. Google DWC so you get an idea of what questions you want to ask?
2. Post relevant questions to thread.

Using AN in my bubbler pH perfect Sensi Grow A+B,I don't have R/O machine yet have to use tap water I'm still having to use pH down To control the ph in each Bubbler,it was nightmare using Sensi at low strenth 0.5ml per litre wasnt keeping the pH or ppm stable ,I start of with plain tap water ppm 180 pH 7.6 I drop that to about 5.1 5.2 & let it bubble away for 12 hours & let the ph climb back up to around 6.1 to 6.3 & then I use the AN pH perfect @ 2ml per litre & that then drops it back down to 5.7 5.8 & my ppm at 1000 ppm.everything is looking good 21 days into veg.





Now I'm looking at when I should top them or fim I'm growing kosher Kush from Reserva Privada Tahoe OG from Cali Conection & Holy Grail Kush dorm DNA
Anybody else growing these strains the same way?

First off, water temps are crucial in DWC so make sure you maintain water temps 70 degrees and under. Second use whatever hydro nutes you want to use it's your money and it's your grow they all work well some are easier to use then others but they all do the same shit.

Yeah man if you let the water get warm you will introduce slime/ root rot and shit like that.. I used to grow DWC here in Phoenix, its about 113 degrees today.. The trick is keeping the water cool by any means necessary. I started using ice chests and 5 gallon sport coolers to keep my water cool. If you plan on doing DWC long term invest in a water chiller, if not then start thinking of some ingenious ways to cool the water a lot of growers and myself have used frozen water bottles in the past. DWC is super easy as long as you keep the water cool and your reservoir clean.
