    i updated the thread and hey bro thanks for the input i greatly appreciate it but i have actually grown little soil grows in my room / back yard before and i recently started micro hydro grow setups with scrog and lst for yield etc.. but i want to grow a bigger grow setup you know like make more yield for cannabutter edibles for friends and family etc... i have dreams just micro setup's were not getting it done.
     
  4. I don't care for buckets (I use tanks), but if you are going DWC, you need to control the temperature of the soup.

    Get a chiller and don't screw around.
     


  5. thanks for the straight forward input jolly if you have any suggestions id greatly appreciate it i am running deep water culture just because i need big plants with high yields, and i thought some 5 gallong buckets in deep water would do the trick :) if you had around 1200 - 1900 would this setup please you? im not asking you to create a setup just curious if you were to buy this setup would you be happy with it?

    I recommend you get the book: "The Bible" by Jorge C.

    Amazon.com: Indoor Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor Bible (9781878823298): Jorge Cervantes: Books

    $2k to start with? Hmmm....

    Lamp and all the crap needed to cool it: $1k

    Chiller: $500.00 (1/4 hp for 30 gallons).

    Grow container(s) pump(s), ect: At least $200.00 (I have over $500.00 in two grow tanks and the aerating tank)

    Support equip, fertilizer $300.00

    Co2? bottle or generator about $500.00

    Container for the whole thing: tent or chamber (I run a chamber) $500.00 at least for any 1kw size enclosure)

    It adds up quick if you try to do it all at once.

    IMO a chiller is mandatory for a DWC grow unless you can make sure your tanks don't get above 68 deg F.

    Even then that is not the optimum temp to grow in for DWC.

    IMO buckets and Rubbermaid are not for a serious grower.

    Nirvana for anything plastic.

    I just bought an LED for $1k (maybe an upgrade from the 600 watt I use now).
