    What up blades! Here is my first dwc grow. this is my 5th grow total though

    It will be jillybean which are 2 weeks old.
    And the bbxww will be germed in a few days when I receive them.

    I will be cloning the jb soon to determine the sex.

    I also will be making bonsi mums of both strains.

    I will jus post a link to what I posted yesterday to start it off. It shows my whole setup and what I'm currently finishing at this time.

    Let me know what you think all comments and especially constructive criticism is greatly appreciated + rep

    Transplanted the jb to 18gal totes 2 plants each. With a separate Rez 18 gal as well.

    It was an attempt to make a rdwc but the 3/4" connecters i used don't allow enough flow for it to be continuous. So I need a timer like sum one would in ebb and flow i guess, to run the pump for 45 sec then off for 4-5 min any one know where I can get one???

    Pics coming tomorrow....

    so i was able to find a timer at the grow shop web page but its not EXACTLY what i want but it will have to work for now i havent had time to go get it till tomorrow so ive been tediously turning it on and off while im home till the morning. it runs the pump for 1 min then again every 2 hrs for 1 min. but only has 8 on off capabilities so i assume it means i can only run it the way i jus described...heres a link to it Lone Star Hydroponics & Organics

    i will be putting this system in the flower closet when my hempy buckets are done and plan to change the ports to 1 1/4" pvc between the buckets instead of the 3/4" tubing. and then make this same system scaled down a bit more for the veg.

    here is some picture updates of the system.

    any thoughts, questions, comments, bring them on. :D

    He'll yea the roots are doing great...I contribute that to the new root bastic I'm now using..

    Right now the ppms were at 600. At .7 conversion.
    Rez temps are 68.4
    Ph is at 5.8.

    sub'd!! I'm interested in DWC.. hopefully I learn alot here :p
     
  9. #9 sir grow alot, Nov 12, 2011
    Also the jillybean has 11 leaf set fan leafs...never seen that before and def didn't have that the first time I grew this strain but was in soil then vs. The dwc.

    I also added a timer to the pump in the ReZ that runs 1 min. And off 4min. Continuously.

    I have a DWC/ebb and flow type setup I've created.

    The control has a submergible pump runs into the right bucket. That bucket fills for the minute then the pump is off for 4min. And then then into the left bucket and back to the Rez and repeats.

    I've never seen this actual setup it was just guess and checked type of deal.

    It works very well though every thing stays equal in all 3 buckets and the root systems are getting huge.

    What's up freegrow!

    Good to have you on board...this is my first dwc so I look to learn a lot as well.

    You ever tried hempy buckets like what I have going in the flower room?
     
  11. #11 freegrow11, Nov 12, 2011
    Nope. I'm just here for the ride. I was thinking of someday doing DWC.. why not learn how and support someone at the same time.
     
  12. #12 sir grow alot, Nov 12, 2011

    That's what's up. Well let me know if u got any questions!

    Here are some vitals

    Jillybean:
    Yesterday ppm: 600 ph: 5.8

    This morning ppm: 570 ph: 5.7

    I know this means I need a higher ppm for the girls to be doing optimal.

    It's time for a Rez change so I will be changing the water and adding fresh nutes today.

    I will adjust it the ppm up to 640-650 ph: 5.8


    I do have a question for any experienced dwc growers:

    When I change the Rez out should I start with a 1/4 strength nute mix for a day then jump it up or just go straight to the desired ppm

    Also I'm using an oakton meter with a .5 conversion

    some updates here:

    jillybean: ppm 650 ph 5.7 rez termp 68
    wwxbb: ppm 290 ph 5.6

    i supercropped the jillybean 2 days ago and they are doing great after wards now.

    also vented out the hot air coming from the lgiht out into the attic....its so much easier to keep the room and rez temps optimal.

    i have some problems with a few leafs on a couple plants im posting them on here just in case someone sees it ands knows right off what it is but im posting in the sick plant section to assess the situation properly as well.

    Just go with the desire level of PPM.....I do not see any point for going down and then go up... I was actually slightly increasing my PPM level with almost every res change (every 7 days), worked perfectly for me.
     
  16. #16 sir grow alot, Nov 15, 2011
