So, I've setup my first grow with DWC. I have a couple of experiments going on at the moment to see which I like best. I have a soil grow going that started around Feb 14th and a DWC grow that started around Mar 7th. Both are first grows. I thought I would post a couple of photos to see what you guys thought.
My setup is as follows:
On 3/9 they were all in DWC system and under 400w MH. I moved the light about 2 feet about the plants. Unfortunately, during this time I lost one of my White Widows. It was a sad day.
I originally built a DWC system in a 55 gallon rubbermaid container with 6 ports for each plant. It had 4 air stones and was powered by two air pumps. I realized something during the setup of this system and made a change.
If you've ever thought of building a DWC system let me advice you on not using a large tub. It is way to cumbersome and heavy to work with. Maintenance was a bitch. Also, I realized that if you had a problem with one plant down the road it could compromise the others. Fortunately, I had the space so I moved each plant to its own bucket on 3/16/2009.
I took photos today to document their progress. Please feel free to let me know what you think.
You may also find a couple of my soil plants in the background. The first one sprouted on 2/14/2009. I'm not really sure what strains they are. I'm fairly certain I have two different strains in soil, but since they were bag seed I have no idea what they are.
My setup is as follows:
- 2 x 400w MH
- 5 total DWC units
- 5 Gallon Bucket single units (from good old HD)
- 5" net pots
- Air pumps from WalMart the dual output ones. One line running to each bucket with one air stone.
- FoxFarm Nutes
