I'm gnna try out dwc seems exciting, can any one with experience give some useful tips or things to watch out for.

Items aquired
48×48×80 grow tent
600 watt mh
45 lpm air pump/ black air hose
3.5 gal bucket 6"net pot
blue lab ph/ ppm meters
dyna gro nute line
6"inline fan& speed cont.
 
Dont forget the scrubber! And from what i saw from roiu member dwc really works! He had 25 gal diy bucket! One plant looked to be about 2lbs
 
I cant offer much advice, but I can say watch out for your reservoir temperatures while you're growing in DWC. It needs to stay pretty cool, and thats what killed me when I first tried :wall:

If it fails for any reason, go soil to begin with until you get your grow dialed in! Then you can experiment with DWC :mrgreen:
 
Are you saying just 1 plant? You only list one bucket, I would think you would want at least 4 with 8 being what I would choose.

The MH is perfect for veg, you will want to switch bulbs to HPS for flower. When you do switch to HPS you will lose a fair amount of light, it will work fine in your space, but you could use a bit of supplemental lighting for optimal performance.

I recommended some UVB and some 6500k/blue/cool-white. The yellows from the HPS grow the bud itself, the 6500k makes stems and stretch grow more for more and larger nodes and the UVB increases resin.



What is that light? Looks industrial.

honestly man run hps for flower and a hortilux blue during last week is all you need no need for crazy uv bulbs or simply invest the 999.00 on a better lamp
 
They are looking nice and healthy! I don't know anything on DWC but I'd say keep doing what you'r doing! Good luck!!:bigjoint::peace:

For your pH meter your going to need storage solution and calibration solution.
 
if your going to cover net pots use a paper plate
find out how it go's after first res. change when roots are out of net pots
are you using hydroguard or tea
