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:

Have you grown before?

kbtallday · Dec 23, 2014

no this would be my first official grow. Ive been keeping a journal of info I read online

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.

hey check out my old ghetto rigged recirulating dwc ran nectar for the gods here yes i know i had to shave my clone but she turned out like this believe it or now

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

For your pH meter your going to need storage solution and calibration solution.
