Second thoughts on DWC

gravity in that pic thats crazzy.. im liken it

Let's face it. Growing weed IS WORK!! It's work no matter what your method. I've never had a "JOB' that was as rewarding as the WORK I put in to growing. So next time you think it's too much think again.

Humidity and temp controlled yes. Zone heating/ac in this house so I can keep that one room constant. Humidity is kept in check with a dehumidifier. Current room doesn't have any exhaust so to speak so I'm not sure that airflow would be an issue. I'm not messing with CO2 right now either in case that is a factor. A fan circulates air in the room, maybe it is too strong? Temps stay around 76-78 f and humidity is kept just around 45% or so. Are you manicuring your plants? Lolipopping? etc? I've not progressed that far and maybe the extra plant mass is accounting for the extra water? It does get bushy down there with those very large branches but I just made BHO from the popcorn on my last grows. I've been progressing slowly each grow so I don't get ahead of myself like that video posted above and those trimming techniques are on the to do list.

Not sure how I'm going to get my water uptake down to your levels!

And as for the fresh air comment I made... lol You do know your plants produce prodigious amounts of o2 right? Hence the nice fresh air comment, as in with 40+ plants going in that small of a space a significant amount of clean fresh air would be locked into your sealed room and combined with the weed.. it would smell nice. Gonna have to break down and hunt down pics of your grows here so I can check out your setup. I'm guessing those 40 plus plants must be little ones since one of my 6 footers was 3-4 feet wide. The math just won't work to fit that many of that size in that small of a space!

Finally checked out your setup, very nicely thought out for such a tight space. If I had need for those quantities I'd certainly shoot for such an organized setup! A 2-3 plant setup appears to be enough for my use so far.

* saw some manicuring on your plants so maybe that is the difference? (That was the size control I was referring to earlier by the way) If manicuring helps yields and will keep that reservoir in check like yours then I'm defiantly giving that a shot on my next cycle. I guess with them being so skinny I can maybe grow one just for some BHO. Thanks for all your suggestions by the way.

Hey superstoner,I am ggoing to try the 2" net pots, so with that and the collars there is nothing else in the net pot right just the plant.i like the idea of ggetting more volume in the bucket

Exactly, no media needed.

Sweet definitely going to try this out .
