    2 1/2 Gallon Buckets for DWC? How small can you actually get?

    My plan is to veg all the way in the 2 1/2 gal containers then after the 2 week change into flower i will move them into 5 gal buckets if needed. I am worried about ph swings and uncontrollable nutrient levels but i feel comfortable enough to do it at this point. Something tells me that the...

    first DWC what do you guy's think....

    They are just Indica dominant so it makes sense they would be shorter in veg. Once you switch to flowering then you will the height start to increase more rapidly. I stopped using FF nutes and switched to GH as well. Fox Farm three part is horrible for growing in hydro. I had constant ph...

    PH issues!

    Well if everything your saying is accurate then the only thing i would suggest is to start using reverse osmosis water instead of tap water. It is very important that you start with clean water or your grow will be wayyy more difficult. Most people think its a pain but where i live in South...

    Appropriate PVC size?

    Best bet is just a 1in cpvc pipe and a 14$ pond pump from lowes. Works fine unless your growing 20 plus plants. I use 1in cpvc for all my drips systems. Havent had a problem yet.

    Lighting Reccomendations Please1

    Wayyyy better off using 1 1000 watt for several reasons. You wont be drawing as many total amps if you have just one light plugged in, also a 1000 watt light will put out wayyyy more lumens then 8 T5's. You also decrease your risk of a fire if you have only one lamp plugged in as apposed to 2...

    how are they looking?

    Look pretty good for day 22. Setup is very organized but i wouldnt of used THAT much hydroton. Not that it hurts the plants or anything but that much seems very expensive and a pain in the ass to clean. Other then that the plants look awesome. You might need some more space between when they...

    First DWC grow, anything missing?

    Everything looks perfect. Seems like you might have a ph issuedue to the very tips of the leaves starting to brown. It looks like its just starting so if u get it under control now you should be ok. Im currently running a experiment to try and see just how small a bucket you can use to grow 1...

    White Widow DWC question.

    Easiest way to empty and fill is to buy a small 100GPH fountain pump at lowes. Its in the outdoor garden section with the pond supplies. It will come with a 1/4in and 1/2in adapter. Buy some 1/4 or 1/2 in tubing and attach it to the pump. Drop the pump into the bucket and plug it in. Put the...

    Flushing In DWC?

    This is my first time flushing with a DWC system. I wanted to know if you can just flush for ten days with water, or should i buy a flushing product like Final Phase? I read that flushing products contain things that suck salts and metals out of the bud so it taste fresh. I would like to flush...

    !!!!!stop using tin-foil for god sakes!!!!

    Actually the chicken nugz reference was used to dumb down the thought process so people like yourself can understand what TIN foil is made and used for, and thats cooking, not growing.

    !!!!!stop using tin-foil for god sakes!!!!

    Agreed. All this thread was meant to do was inform people that before you spend HOURS OR DAYS covering your entire grow in foil,not to. The cost of the foil and time you spend isnt worth it. If i didnt see 10 different people on here with foil from ceiling to floor i wouldnt of made this...

    Questions on my grow,

    I see what your saying but if your growing in a hot climate heat is a constant issue, why put anything in your grow room that not only doesnt really do anything but retains heat. I can understand why people put it in there grow rooms, its flat, it shines, its cheap. Makes sense. But tell me...

    !!!!!stop using tin-foil for god sakes!!!!

    Couldnt agree with you more. Saw a friend build a grow box and line the entire inside with mirrors. Said to him it made sense........Whats worst is seeing people with advanced setups still covering shit in tin foil.

    !!!!!stop using tin-foil for god sakes!!!!

    Im sorry but ive seen sooooooo many people on here with tin foil wrapped around every single piece of equipment they have!!! There is a reason you have never once seen tin foil used in a professional grow room. 2 MAIN REASONS 1. Tin foil reflects almost no light whatsoever!!!!! I know that...
