I'm going to be building my own RDWC and was just curious how long I should veg 4 plants to fill a 4x4 SCRG.

I've got a 4x5 tent. 4x4 of it is usable. The 1x4 left over is for my fans and exhaust filter. I'll be growing Grape Ape from clones

Using RO water
My nutes will be the GH flora 3 part, some armor si, calimagic, and floraklean for when I change my water. I will be keeping my water temp at about 60-65. I also would like to know if I should use hydrogaurd.

Lol

Your time...vs my time
Yer skill vs my skill

No one answer my friend

Cept

Be sure after flower stretch u still have room vertically for them
Not what I asked -_- ass haha

JK I'm still very new to growing. (only really started this year.) My first plant was done in a 5 gallon DWC and was beautiful in my opinion. I like criticism, ill take both good and bad. I want to improve as much as I can.

The clones should be ready in about a week.

My skill/experience is pretty much nonexistent... this will be my first full RDWC setup.

The stretch is my favorite part. I love seeing it get ready to transition

1.With RDWC your plants will grow so fast they shoulld be ready to flower in 4-5 weeks from seed in that size space.
2. Southern AG garden friendly fungicide is much cheaper than Hydrogaurd because you need very little of it.
The plants below were lollipopped then flipped at about 5 weeks old in a 3 x 4 tent.C04F29AA-96BC-4354-96C2-DA64EA6EB184.png1118DBE1-40BC-466C-B119-4B7F23154579.png

Thanks! I was thinking of a 4-6 week veg. I'll look into the Southern AG. Looks good but your screen has a lot of space? Is that for the stretch? I was planning on putting in another trellis after the stretch

Yes. I also add a bungee trellis up high around week 6 to hold up the colas...some grow to over 20 inches. I was harvesting when I took this pic so the 2nd trellis is already off.A3301F74-44E8-4DC0-A8C0-06CE689DCC8C.jpeg

idk if your grape ape clones are anything like the original grape ape cut I grew 15 years ago, but those were the smallest plants I ever grew, but some of the best bud. They required way more time in veg to get to a decent time than any of the other strains I kept around. Good luck!

The clones all came from a single plant i popped. I don't want to have my harvest times be different. I've got a clone I cut for sexing it. Just one fat bud on it.

I honestly don't remember when I did the flip on it. And I have no idea how much longer its got. I think its probably got about another month.
