whats your avg weight per plant using dwc/undercurrent/bubble buckets/ebbngrow ?

just trying to get an average yield for dwc systems. if you'd like to participate please list a few simple things:

- what dwc system you run, bubble, rdwc, undercurrent whatever. if youve tweeked anything let us know

- veg time. after clones have rooted and entered buckets till you flip the lights

- nutes used. avg ppm for veg and flower, be specific or use a range. ph too

- water temps

- air temps in veg and flower

- lighting type and size

- avg weight per plant

- total gram per watt

this could be fun. i hope a few people participate.

peace yall

i personally havent yet harvested a dwc grow yet. working on it. ive got 44 bubble buckets that are 3' tall that i just put into flower under 8 1000w hps lights. ill post my numbers in 9 to 10 weeks.

Do u have any pix of your rdwc i remeber hearing talk about it what kinda system u working with?
The biggest yield ive ever pulled from a plant was 7zips off a 4-5 week vegged plant ambient room temps where around 78-84 degrees lights on res temps anywhere from 74-78 that was in an 18 gallon tub being shared with 4 other plants as well..
Id like to see ur op tho.
How long u vegging for u gotta have those buckets neck to neck i like the sounds of this im gonna go out on a limb and just guestimate u could expect 2-3 zips/plant with minimal veg good couple weeks after rooted..
Pix would be cool man.
Peace.

ive got pics on my other threads. but here are some more for you. just moved all my girls to the flowering room. its 78f right under the light in the canopy. water is in the mid 60s. this system is a Frankenstein really... ill redo it as a proper undercurrent when i veg next round. ill be doubling my system once i harvest so i can do this every month. just cut my clones for round 2 today so im ready to go. this is day 1 (today) of flower.

its 44 buckets under 8 1000w hps's. i used 3 600s in veg but i think im gonna bump it to 4 next go round. mainly so i can give my veg plants more space from each other.

im jealous of all that space

space is cheap. i got this space for $.50/sqft. its like 2000 sqft. you do the math.

there is a veg room on the other side of that panda too!

thanks, im not doing a journal tho. just looking for what other people have been pulling off with these great systems.

Nice man how long did u veg for? I gotta say ur setting urself up for a hell of a pull vegging with the 6s should really be epic.. Id veg them as long as possible get them eating good and keep them popping thru flower man.. What strains u running?

i ended up vegging 2 months. i fucked up the first month and they grew like 6 or 8 inches max. the next month i got my shit right and they blew up! i plan on giving them a full month before flower for my next run. all those are la con. im doing one strain at a time to get them all dialed in properly. i have gdp, super lemon haze, mad man og (tricky fucking plant to grow, in coco anyway) and alien og, along with the la confidential. thanks for the props.

hey mate in my dwc with 1 month veg. plants on average get around 12" tall then i flip and i usually get around 8 oz per plant with a little training no topping.

i use flora nova grow and bloom with a few additives being floralicious plus, florablend, koolbloom in flower and of course silica.

my feeding schedule is based on what the plants want. i monitor the ppm in the bucket if it is going down i feed strnger if it is going up i feed less. run a flush with florakleen once a week.

if i had to right down what my feed schedule looked like it would be something like this. ( keep in mind most people are going to think this looks crazy. especially in flower when i actually drop my feed strength but thats what the plant wants so thats what the plant gets, im there bitch lol)

week1 (from seed ) 50ppm mostly just flora blend
week 2 250ppm
week 3 500ppm
week 4 1000ppm
flip 12/12
week 5 stretch 1400ppm
week 6 1400ppm
week 7 1000 ppm
week 8 800ppm
week 9 600ppm
week 10 600ppm
week 11 600ppm
week 12 400ppm
flush

keep in mind that varies a lot with different strains and im certainly not locked into that schedule if the plant tells me to go higher i will. and if the plant tells me to go lower i will. its important to flush each week though with this method as a salt bild up will give u a flase uptake reading and u could end up under feeding

awesome dude! thanks. what are your air and water temps hanging at? thats crazy you get all the way up to 1400 ppm. i grew these 2 footers in veg with 400 to 500 ppm the entire time and they loved it!! inches a day!

my air temps can range anywhere from 35c in summer to like 10c in winter.

i should also mention i have grown under 400w and 600w and still use both but i still average around the same yield per plant under either light. my favorite light at the moment is cmh. they are only 400w but i seem to get better bud development low down on the plant than i do under 600w. the buds actually seem denser too. the downside is they look smaller but at the end of the day at weigh in the end weight is usually about the same and i dont throw away any popcorn

watertemps seem to stay pretty stable at around 18c a touch higher in the heat of summer and a little lower in winter but i have a remote res raised off the ground and its about 100l so it stays pretty stable. especially since i actually change it 2 times a week instead of 1 like most people.

yeah and as i said with that schedule it is only a pretty rough estimate going from memory of what my averages are. i really do just monitor the res and make decisions based on what the plant is using. but yeah i was shocked when i first picked up this method because i used to run low ppms all the way through veg. nothing over 700ppm then i would bump it up to 1000ppm all the way through flower. but i always had little burnt tips on my leaves in flower and some other minor issues. now as long as i do what the plant says i barely ever see anything like that anymore. also i have backed off the bloom boosters. i use a very small amount of liquid koolbloom in the first half of flower like .5 mls per litre and bump it up a little for the swell period to 1ml per litre.

Lol don't drop the soap in prison.

Lol buddah thats barely half of a single patient grow in cali bro im jealous haha

ah the benefits of legality..... thats only for 8 patients. i can grow for over 100.

Yea man ive been a legal patient/caregiver grower now for a year and honestly i still get sketched out when i shmell the plants or driveing around with a little meds but i gotta tell myself im legal now who gives a phawk im doing everything by the book i and then some i still have a ptient and a half i cant even grow for just dont have the room lolz really tho yea i used to sketch alot sure is nice to have my authorization to grow man knock on wood. Word.

yeah man i feel you. 2 years for me. ive had cops come investigate me when i lived central. i showed them my card and they peaced. down in so cal, its another story. i had to tear down this same grow like 3 months ago, move and start over. even being legit. the card, authorization to transport and grow and all that only protect you from getting convicted. not from getting arrested and your entire grow destroyed. it sucks, but thats the deal. now its just lay as low as possible and do everything i can about smell. done lol.
