I've been a soil grower for about a decade now. Fox Farm soil and nutrients and I pretty much had the soil grown dialed in.
Then a few months ago I decided to try Hydro. I'd thought about hydro before but it seemed more complicated than soil. My biggest problem with soil was that I had to water every other day, if I missed a day the plants would definitely suffer. My job is causing me to travel more and I wanted something that I could leave for a few days without harm.
After looking over the options I decided to try DWC. This is actually my second DWC grow. I tried one back in July and while I got a decent harvest I knew I could do better. Most of my problems were around not knowing what to expect and switching nutes several times.
For this grow I knew exactly how I wanted things laid out and did some tweaking to my setup like wrapping the buckets in Reflectix to keep the water temp down. I also settled on using Botanicare KIND nutrients.
Here's a photo 21 days into the grow.
I've never had growth like this in soil. The one plant is 4' tall from the top of the bucket.
