    Well hello everyone this is my first grow in dwc. Been in soil for years outside. 25 total. So im a Lil older now and just don't wanna walk two miles into the woods or lose my plants cause I can't remember haha. So im pretty handy and did some reading and came up with this dwc u see in the pics. 951 gph pump. It is split into both pressure lines. Adjustable for pressure also.
    Everything is insulated from the resivore to every bucket. Each bucket has a 4 inch air stone. Which is all u really need in a 5 gallon bucket with a good air pump. I have a 70 liter pump. The lights are mars hydro 96 reflector×2 and 1000 watt nanolux digital ballast. Metal halide for veg hps 1000 for bloom. Aqua flakes a and b to start off with. Anybody have any better ideas to Add to my nutes for flower ill listen.[​IMG]

    A few days later I had most the bugs worked out. Figured out how to regulate my buckets with the two valves on the splitter. Actually works amazing. I can regulate my water to any depth. Still had to do vent work at this point also[​IMG][​IMG]

    Very nice. I'm curious, did you happen to get a water temp before you wrapped your buckets in insulation? I just ordered a bucket and I want to know how that's working for you.

    Everything seems to be running ok. I did lower my ppm back to 350 they was showing signs of burn. My roots on a couple are really taking off now.[​IMG]

    Moved my bigger girl back to soil. She was starting to lose her roots to much and I figured less contamination from her the better for the rest of them. Ill hopefully be grabbing something to keep this under control. They just a Lil brown so hopefully the peroxide does a Lil something till tomorrow night

    I use Hydroguard with great results. It's worth a look IMO if you haven't already.
