This is my micro DWC grow. I've never grown before, but I decided to dive right in and have some fun with hydro. I bought the Lowryder Deluxe Grow Box from www.stealthyhydro.com, and that's what all of the pictures are of. I had to buy the air stone, wall socket-light to light bulb adatpers, and any extra nutes or additives. The rest came with the box.

Equipment:
rockwool cubes
small air pump w/8" air stone
3 13W CFL bulbs, 830 lumens each
1gal tupperware res
4 1.5" netpots

What's in the water:
Brand X (no-name) grow and flower nutes
3% h202 (hydrogen peroxide)
Hygrozyme

What's Growing:
2x WOS Afghan Kush Ryder (Afghan Kush x Lowryder#1)
2x Grass-o-matic AK (AK-47 x Lowryder #1)

water is changed every week or so.

Now that I know how to post images correctly, I'll add all the previous ones again so you can see them in chronological order.

-------------Alright, now that all the images have been fixed, onto the new stuff -------------

Day 20 root rot gone (successfully killed off with daily h202, I will continue weekly treatments the rest of my grow to keep sterilization). Lower leaves were showing either nute burn or a cal/mad deficiency, so I changed to fresh water with a little bit of CALiMAGic.
