Hello peps...I want to run an auto in a dwc bucket....autos hate to be transplanted as 99% of the time it stunts growth so I was wondering if anyone has any good ways of starting autos in dwc .....Thanks
Dwc/auto's ?

Just pop your seeds, wait til they've got some good roots and put em in the net pots man .

What.....leave them in the paper towel or soaking in a cup of water till the roots long enough to put in a net pot

That's the only thing I could think of logically not to disturb the roots

What kind of nuts you using in your dwc with auto flowers? How long do you just ph the water before you start to feed
I currently don't run autos. But it should all relate and basically be the same.
GH three part @ 1/4 tsp of each per gallon for seedlings. I keep it at that in the rez and water the plugs with PH'd distilled water from the top until the roots reach the nutrient solution. Once I get 7th leaves I switch to Lucas formula. Remember, there are two versions of Lucas depending on light and co2 levels. For my setup I use the weaker version.
I also keep the water level in the rez 1" from the bottom of the net pots. Do not flood the net pots. But you need to keep them moist. Good airstones and a powerful air pump will do the job almost as good as aeroponics.

What's the weak lucks formula I believe I'm only aware of the original. ........co2 is great for your plants but if you don't have a sealed air tight room it's a waist of money
http://www.lucasformula.com
Per gallon
8ml micro and 16ml bloom for high output lights with co2
4ml micro and 8ml bloom for low output lights without co2
Basically, if your lights aren't so strong you need to supplement co2, go with the 4-8. Otherwise you will burn your plants.

OK so 1/4 strength then when we'll established go with the 4/8 lucks right? You don't run into calmag issues? And when your on the 1/4 strength does is it of all 3 parts then switch to lucas.....I'm just new dwc grower and trying to figure it out so I don't waist my time ya know
ok, so here is my basic nute formula.
per gallon
Veg
2.5ml armor si
8ml flora micro
16ml flora bloom
2.5-5ml calimagic (depending on water)
this so far performs great for me in my situation.
the alt for GH specifically for cannabis is linked as a pdf. i used that for starting

this is a current pic using this formula.
here is my grow thread. it takes a minute to load as the pics are large. it will also show you how i constantly change my methods as i discover better ones. my next grow will be constant and should finish much faster.

EDIT: i also picked up three other additives for healthy growth. i have yet to test them. i only plan on using them on one plant to see performance.
