Thanks for reply drgreentm! this might sound stupid, but why did the dwc only hold 5 plants compared to 11 with ebb and flow? I thought dwc would actually take up less space?well i have done dwc and ebb and flow flood and drain is my current setup it all really depends an what kind of system suits your needs like scrog, sog etc that will determine allot with dwc i got great root growth, quick growth all around a great system but took up a little to much space for just 5 plants so i went to ebb & flow getting 11 in a 2x4 tray. i love my ebb systems though easy water changes easy cleaning and what not just my personal experience.
no problem it just the way i made it it was actually for my vegging plants before i went to the numbers of plants i am actually at now the only thing about the DWC was the water changes where a bitch untill i started using a submersible pump and a 5 gal bucket to empty it other than that like i said it is a great system what number of plants are you planning for if i could ask?????o and the pics one is of the DWC systems i used and the other is of the ebb tray i am currently usingThanks for reply drgreentm! this might sound stupid, but why did the dwc only hold 5 plants compared to 11 with ebb and flow?

Nice pics dude! I will probably start out with about 6, i have been following "Dadios flood and drain", and thought about trying something similar. I don't know what strain/strains i will try yet, still just trying to soak up all the info i can before i start. I am thinking of building a 4x4x8 closet having seedling/veg area in the bottom with 600w flowering in the top. I do not know what size fan or carbon filter i will be using, any suggestions?no problem it just the way i made it it was actually for my vegging plants before i went to the numbers of plants i am actually at now the only thing about the DWC was the water changes where a bitch untill i started using a submersible pump and a 5 gal bucket to empty it other than that like i said it is a great system what number of plants are you planning for if i could ask?????o and the pics one is of the DWC systems i used and the other is of the ebb tray i am currently using
Not to start seeds or clones in (meaning the STG 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 cubes) the material in my experience is hard for the roots to get a good start. I start in 2 x 2 rockwool cubes, and then nest in the bulk STG media in containers.Thanks choempi, makes alot of sense! Are the Sure To Grow cubes any good, of should i just plan on using rockwool?
six would be a good start and like you said take in as much info as possible its the best thing when starting out.Nice pics dude!

agreed rockwool holds to much water for clones i havent had the worst luck with rockwool and seed. i have been checking out your thread about the bleach instead of h202 and it is some dam good info i will prably be getting on that thread soon again good info thanks. and for the cloning this is what i do rapid rooter then transplant to rockwool works good for me.Not to start seeds or clones in (meaning the 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 cubes) the material in my experience is hard for the roots to get a good start.

thanks man! i read some of the reviews on WR seems everyone likes it. In an est. 8wk harvest time, how long should i normally veg before introducing flowering?i would say try for one strain first then introduce another in later i would recommend white rhino nirvana seeds has some if you are going to do multiple strains just make sure they are around the same height and flowering time other wise when you have to flush one the other may need to go for a few more weeks and that can be a pain in the ass i am at this problem now i grow white widow or rhino not sure got the seeds from a friend who said they where widow but look to me like rhino first pic is of nirvana's rhino second is of mine pretty identical right. WR is a good strain short with fat colas the third pic is my two best still four weeks to go.
i like this guy, +rep describes what i do, in SOG used to love DWC,now i grow bigger fewer plants from seed and love flood/drainwell i have done dwc and ebb and flow flood and drain is my current setup it all really depends an what kind of system suits your needs like scrog, sog etc that will determine allot with dwc i got great root growth, quick growth all around a great system but took up a little to much space for just 5 plants so i went to ebb & flow getting 11 in a 2x4 tray. i love my ebb systems though easy water changes easy cleaning and what not just my personal experience.
my plants are on 4 week intervals my widows finish in 8 weeks perfect. i veg them till they are about 10 to 12" they hit right around 2.5' in the first 3 weeks of flower then get some nice cola'sthanks man! i read some of the reviews on WR seems everyone likes it.

thanks man DWC was my first system loved it forever now i only have a 8x8x6 room so 4 2x4 and 4 400w's with a 4' walkway is perfect for me lol i love sogi like this guy, +rep describes what i do, in SOG used to love DWC,now i grow bigger fewer plants from seed and love flood/drain
Thanks drgreentm, OH another thing i am totally clueless about are "NUTES", how much does a small grow normally use? should i buy in quarts/gallons? Also which brand you recommend? Thanks for all of your help man and merry christmas.my plants are on 4 week intervals my widows finish in 8 weeks perfect. i veg them till they are about 10 to 12" they hit right around 2.5' in the first 3 weeks of flower then get some nice cola's
