#1 died. i tried to take #2 out of the small homemade pot and put in a net pot. it was root bound inside the cup, and had stopped growing. it hasn't pulled out of it yet. thinking of making clones out of it. it hasn't grown any for about 10 days. barely drinking anything. what to do? got some barney's farm lsd started for my next try. waiting on a bluecheese to break ground to grow with it. i am not done with this plant yet. it will not kick my ass

damn, sorry for the loss man, you got it all down tho, keep us posted

i used white tape on my bigger dwc. black absorbs the light. the main thing is don't let any light get in. some totes allow light.

i was just going to say or use white??? will white masking tape do? what do you suggest

just make sure it doesn't let light pass through. i used duct tape on a clear res and got algae

yeah, maybe a good idea to get an opaque res and white mask it

my 5 gal buckets are thick and dark. no need for tape, except the lid, maybe

I used foil tape. You can see it in the pic on my thread. It doesn't let any light in whatsoever

i mean what colour helps keep the res cool though

i used foil tape on my small res. i used peel'n'seal tape on the white one. it is thick tape, it dropped my res temp by 8 degrees.

lookin good man, i like how you use the party cups, i might do that on my next DWC

if you do, make as many holes as possible. my roots choked themselves out. the empty cup is for checking ph,ppm and res level. i transplanted but it hasn't done anything yet(8 days)

Nice grow closetkiller! I love the cups for pots,I thought of doing that but was worried about rootbound too.but they looked pretty happy in there at first.I made the mistake of painting my first res black.Its way too hot.Im going to have to paint it white or try foil tape on the lid or something.Ive been adding frozen water bottles and frozen hunks of ph'd water,but thats a pain in the ass.trying 1st clones in there but there struggling.1 with roots after a week and 2 with root bumps,so all is not lost.LIVE N LEARN
a couple pics of my 1st setup

Nice, i really need to get a bigger bin haha, tho mine hold's 7 gallons, is that good for 4 plants?

Hey sicc,Im using a 10 gallon from dollar general for $2.50 each.Ive heard to go all the way to end in a res. 3-5 gallons per plant.but i think with everything right and smaller(younger plants) you can get away with it.I plan to use the smaller one for cloning and veg.Then transfer(before roots are too big)into a larger res with less plant sites for flower.
