Harvesting first grow - such a great feeling

First I want to say thank you to everyone on these forums, I learned a lot. About a week and a half ago I harvested my first DWC crop. 4 plant site, 5 gal buckets, using GH nutes, 4x4 tent with a 600w MH/HPS light. Also had one of those cheap Bestva blurple lights in there as well.

I was quite impressed with one of the plants, which was the better quality and higher yielding than the other 3.

It was a lot of work tending to each bucket, so I'm planning on going the RDWC route next crop. I need to start getting a parts list together for that setup so I can get it built out and ready to go. So I will research on here as much as possible, but I'm sure I will have some additional questions.

Just wanted to make a post with my thoughts on this crop. I have almost everything in jars curing now, I have sampled some of the buds and I'm really excited. This is going to save me SO much money from buying at the dispensary/black market. I will try to upload some pictures in a bit

Congrats! It's a great feeling to smoke your own! Have you grown inside before with other methods?

Congrats dude, you will deffinitly love switching to RDWC. No more changing water at each bucket, you can just siphon/drain from the main res. Nutrient additions, water additions, monitoring levels, etc...so much easier with RDWC. Supplies arent super complex. A few 2" threaded bulkheads for the returns, some 2" PVC for those returns....a few 1" blukheads for the supply lines along with some 1" hose or pvc pipe. An inline DC pump, and the required fitting....then you got yourself all you need essentially. Drop the airstones and go with either a venturi valve or a water fall in each bucket. I prefer ventrui because waterfalls are loud. Either option will give plenty of O2 into the water.
