......dwc?? You are planning to go to a bigger bucket, right? That is a real slick set-up you've got going! The only question I have is about the res size..... That thing would fill up with roots in no time at all, I would think, as well as be pretty hard to keep a level pH and ppm, not even to mention that you'd be filling the res all day as she'll really start drinking.........and the temps......
:wall:<----- so I 'll just assume I am missing something and that you've got a 5gal bucket ready to go.
Great job and your girl looks happy!:hump:

Looks good.
Keep the pH like he said, 5.5-5.8
Use RO and keep the rez temp below 70º
keep the l pictures coming.

If they have roots
you can add nutes.

Start with a low load like 25%,
and increase it up to 50%.

hey check out my journal.. Nice grow but dwc works good during the winter, but as the ground temps change in the summer you have to use a water chiller which can get pretty costly and alge blows and root rot is also pretty gay.. dwc is ok.. but I would rather go with a drip or ebb.. but the best advice I can give you is to still hand water from the top every day.. if not those roots will dry out..:-P
