In a single crop. Using a 5'×5'×7' grow tent. 1000 watt digital ballast. Mh for veg. HPS for bloom. 4 plants in 5 gallon buckets dwc. How much could I grow on average (estimate) and how long from clone to finish? Wondering how much meds roughly will i produce for myself?

First grow? Should have gone soil. DWC is for people who have 2 or 3 grows under their belt.

Longer the veg, bigger the plant.

4oz per.

Good luck

I been researching hard plus I been in lots of my friends grow rooms and helped do work as I live in a legal medical state and I'm a card holder. Being in there rooms made me fall in love and want to do it myself, but better. Im taking everything i learn and trying to outdo my friends with better weed and bigger crops. :) Been learning allot of shit from my buddies though and reading and watching youtube videos. You guys help allot too so I don't have to ask them stupid questions like this. Lol but I know the basics and got all the information I need to grow. Now I'm just waiting on my taxes and I am going to order my equipment and get clones from a good friend who has many different strains to choose from. Excited and ready to do this. Sick of buying my medicine from dispenaries or growers. Waste of money when I know I can just grow my own... and better. I get fucking pissed. None of these dingle berries cure there buds after they dry them, if they even dry them all the way. So I decided to grow own.

Just a little advice .
Start with clones that have an 8 week flowering period. Short and bushy and you will be able to get to your next grow/crop sooner.

Do yourself a favor and start with soil. Soil is forgiving of a few mistakes and if you get yourself a decently amended soil you can grow some nice plants and get some top shelf smoke. DWC is more for the intermediate grower. Get a feel of how the plant functions first hand not just from research. I thought I knew it all and went soilless my first grow, man was that a shit show. I got bud but it was shitty and not very much.

My buddies all grow hydro. And I got homies to help who been in ur shoes. My friends wouldn't let me down. I live in a medical state. Everyone's growing hydro. I learned it cost money to do it right. I'm getting ro system for pure water. My friends don't even do that. They use tap. But anyways I'm not afraid. All my friends grow dro. Soil too much work N pests n not enough bud. My buddy pulls weight using a 1000 watt hps. But he uses t5 for veg. I'm using MH and RO water vs his tap and he doesn't use much for nutes. I'm going all out. I'm not doin it wrong and getting shitty results. I'll keep a log and post on here as my journey to grow the best dope in town continues. They didn't have exhaust starting off. I have all of the bux to cover a set up which is costing me over 4 grand. But temps and humidity and proper ventilation and pure water and good nutes. Dude. I got this. I'm gonna nail it my first time. I'm not wasting months of valuable research, money, time, dedication, and love toward something for it to be shitty. I seriously have so many friends who been growing for years. I have ppl to help if anything goes wrong. And I have everything I need soon as I get my taxes and order my stuff.

My only advice would be to buy yourself a decent hydro set up. Seems like there is a noob on here everyday who built their own DIY hydro set up using a storage container and end up with root rot. Just saying. Read up and get good gear.

Ill show you veterans what's up. Obviously I know u have to have a black bucket and good pumps and stones and nutes. Don't doubt me. I'm 28. Been researching for the last two months on what to order and what to do. My dream has been to grow my own my whole life. I got this. I'm no dumby. I've seen ppl fail cuz they thought they knew on there own and did no research. I'm not makin any mistakes. My first grow log is gunna be named "flawless" :) like I said my best friend lives a half block away. He's got three rooms going for several years. If i had a problem I'd call him and he'd come help me in a second. I know the hydro store owners and dispensary owners. None of my friends who I trust wud steer me wrong on my grow. They all been doing it for years. Only reason I haven't is cuz my kids mom and I were together. Now we're not so she can't tell me no. It's on brother. I'm gunna grow the best buds and lots of them. I'm gunna scrog it in my tent under the 1000 watt.

I just use a $3 bucket with hole 2 inches from the bottom and $15 worth of perlite Verm mix, GH nutes, $100 LED maybe some CFL supp and grocery store .30 a gallon filtered water. I do have a nice powergrower hydro set up. Used it once and it worked fantastic. Also cheap ebay ph meter and old aquarium pump to bubble my feed or water before giving it to the plant. Plan on going 1 part nutes next. lol. Good seeds make a lot of difference. I sense a DIY hydro setup coming up. lol, like the guys who sell them don't make em right. I like cheap and easy.
