Going to commit to running one banana hammock DWC but I think to be safe I’m going to run the rest in soil.

I can safely run in soil with my work schedule without risking losing my entire run. Can hopefully pull off one monster in DWC. If that turns out, I have a second tent I can move her to.

Popping

1 cherry Garcia
2 banana hammock
1 purple sunset
1 angry hulk
1 millions of peaches.

The last two are regs. If I get males, no harm. Will kill and continue with my other 4 fems.

I think there’s a lot of overthinking on this whole DWC thing guys. @Moabfighter @iceman2494

1) make sure your environments in check
2) make sure all your equipment works
3) make sure you have a light meter for lux
4) get a simple line of nutrients and some cal mag. Something like(General Hydroponics, botanicaire, any hydro nutrient line up.)
5) fill your reservoir up until it fills like 1/4 in of the mesh basket.
6) start your seeds wait until you see roots coming out of the rapid rooter before dropping them in the mesh basket and hydroton.
7) put a small layer of hydroton in the basket and insert riot cube with roots dangling into the basket. Fill around the cube with hydroton.
8) no nutes until 3rd set of leaves
9) 3rd set of leaves add nutes in at 1/4 strength.(see what starting PPM is)
10) take PH daily the more times the better
11) every few days check ppm to see if it’s taking more water or nutrients up.
12) adjust accordingly.
13) bump nute strength as your plant desires.

Shits really not as hard as it sounds just gotta be on top of it.

Just having never seen it really done is the hard part. If I can see it and get a good feel once I’m doing it right. But it’s getting there.

Learning correctly the first time is always the advised way to learn. Rather than adjusting later.... trying hard to focus guys.

What he said

So do you put your roots into the bottom of the basket or put a layer of hydroton between the bottom of the basket and the roots?

Hopefully you get your rr in there before much rootage.

Put a layer hydroton in there, rr on top, fill in sides...nuthin special to do on roots, they know what to do...just don’t break em...

Do you hand water until they hit the reservoir? Or let it happen?

My girls put in the overtime! They got about 3 inches of stretch over night.

This is the point at which I start to sweat... I got a 6 ft ceiling. Right now, they have about 16" to 18" of clearance left... This was a 9 week veg. Their at flower day 5.

Front right is Jack Herer, back right is Mount Hood Magic, front left is Liberty Haze, back is Peyote Critical.

No pistils yet. Time to feed.
