1st Time Deep Water Culture Bagseed Grow w/ pics!

Hey everyone, my first grow is going very well so far, although there are some things i am still curious about and need some info as some problmes arise.

Here's the game plan:

6 plant hydro with 4 air pumps and air stones.
4ft long, 3ft wide, 5ft tall grow cab
bagseed
400watt MH (no hps for flowering =( oh well)

some questions and things i would like to gain:

I've been wondering about when to flower? The rubbermaid tub is about 1,5 ft tall, so i only have about 3.5 ft of useable grow space, so height will possibly be an issue?

also, when should i switch to flowering nutes after the 12/12 cycle is introduced? Start at half strength? etc.

Also, ive failed miserably at cloneing, if any1 could point out where and how to properly take cuttings, it would be apprecitated! thanks alot guys! please feel free to offer any info you know!

wow, i didnt even upload the pics! haha sorry guys!


im noticing the leaves are starting to curl upwards slightly on a few on my plants.. any idea on what could be causing this?

haha nobody cares i guess!! haha input please!!!

hey dude i just helped buddy start a dwc system and hes using 1 400 watt hps and hes got the tub and net pots with rockwool cubes so what im wondering if that will be good for 3 plants? and you should try putting some fans in there.

oh yes, a 400 watt HPS will do you for 3 pretty good size plants. Im growing 6 under my 400 watt MH, but im keeping my plants small.. not enough grow height at the moment. But depending on the size of the tub you are growing in, you can get 6 to 8 plants in a single DWC tub, as long as you have adequate oxygen via airstones to the roots.

also i do have a pretty high powered fan in there now, but im going to be swapping it out for a taller oscillating one! =D

Thanks bro!

lookin good man

thanks alot dude! day 2 of flowering now! lol. im gettin anxious already! i hope i have the nutes right! Also need to get me a 400 watt mh-hps conversion bulb!! But i think 400watt MH will do for now.

thanks for your interest

Thats the sample pack you got there right? How are those nutes? I was looking into the same kit

clean looking set up you have there. Grats!

yep thats the starter kit! works great in veg and so far in flowering from what i can see. Great value! I've only used 1/4 strength nutes in veg and so far in flowering im at 1/4 strength. I will be upping it soon to 1/3 strength though.

looks like 5 out of my 6 are showing male.. im about 6 days into flowering and im starting to see some ball looking things on most of my plants... the other one has an absence of these balls. Shitty odds ehh? is it too early to tell or?? or am i just fucked? haha.

okay guys, so my grow was looking absolutely marvelous...but all 6 turned out male!!!! AHHH!!

I was just wondering if it may have been human error that caused this? I nurtured my plants very nicely... they looked great! So was it me or is this just bad luck? Hopefully i don't have to be paranoid about me losing another 3 months for a male grow! haha
