  1. i have some greenhouse fems white widow and some DNA fems kushberry plants that are about 4 weeks old and looking great especially the WW and currently they are in 4x4 inch rockwool i was thinking about just going with soil again ocean pro and some 10 gallon smart pots ( i tried them out last time and definatly had better yeild then with the good old 5 gallon buckets) im thinking about doing DWC or maybe a areoponics setup i really want to do the dwc and i plan on going to the hydro store and getting everything for DWC or soil shortly what do you guys think i know i will get a larger yield and have a faster growing plant if i go with DWC but also there are great risk in damaging my crop soil is always more forgiving but i do have plenty of extra time to give the DWC thats normally required....I plan on usin dutch masters gold line either way soil or DWC which works great for me i am switching back after using GH for a few cycles, i didnt like the quality as much as the DM the yeild was about even, what do you guys think ....i would be very interested in you input
     
  2. For me, hydro is so much easier than soil. In fact, I literally don't know how to grow in soil. But, growing hydro can get pricey, I've been doing it for years and still add on equipment here and there.
     
  3. thanks for the input bro i definatly said screw the soil and setup my kushberry and white widow in dwc they really started booming its amazing how much faster they grow in dwc i used 5 gallon buckets with round air stones a commercial multi output air put then i went ahead and added a top feed drip system with 40 gph single water pump for each 5 gallon bucket i only did the water pumps on 3 of the 6 i have transplanted i was still debating if i wanted to do the last three hydro so i order smart pots from my local hydro store, but i decided to do them all hydro since it is much cleaner and easier then doing soil even though it is more maintence and takes more time, it is well worth it, i am running the dutch masters line with penatrator and liquid light and i just started using advanced nutrient bud candy and i was going to use sensi bloom and a few other addative but it is not good to switch nutes from flower to veg so i have been told but other then that they are doing great i will post a picture thanks for the input

    now i am about 6 days in to my DWC and i was told that i am supposed to cut my nutes back to 1/3 strength but i have been mixing my solution at full strength according to the dutch masters nutrient calculator, and have not seen any yellowing what so ever i am using 4 gallons of water per a 5 gallon bucket and using 44ml of part A & B is this correct ????? and i am ph down to 5.7
