Hello!
Here is my little dwc with 1 plant of Amnesia haze clone...
Today is about 1 week from clone and is going rly nice atm...
Ph stable @ 5.7, PPM @ 350 and droping 10 x day... water temp around 22oC
I have 4L of solution in this bucket and 1 airstone bubbling in it...
Im feeding this girl with ghe 3 part series + adding diamond nectar,cannazyme and rhyzotonic...
I never try grow a plant without lst,fimm,or topping... so i decided to run this girl without touching her.
Now is on my veg. place under a cheep 300w led 24/24.
I wanna keep her in this little bucket and see what will happen, do u think i can put her in flowering mode or keep veg for another week or 2?

Thanks ! Yea i will veg. this for 1 week more from today... This plant is exploding in growth right now... maby i will change bucket for one bigger, but i have alot of plants in my flower room and space is the real issue... Cant belive how simple is DWC, and how healthy, glowing green, exploding growth can u chive with this... My 1st try ever was a rdwc 4 bucket setup, and i was rly happy for my 1st try... Then i decided to try soil, but with alot of problems and not so good results... Now im on my 3rd soil grow and i belive is my last (still to many problems), i will stick to dwc 4 ever... Now im running 25clones of amnesia haze in soil + this little dwc, and im trying for 1st time coco but on 3 autos. Depending on how coco will do and how simple is running it i will stick to 1 of them... Definitly HyDROPONICS! :D

P.S.
Cant upload pictures ...?!?! something is bugged... i will soonest i can

are you running sterile res?
No im using GHe 3 part series with diamond nectar(humic acid) i just stoped using rhizotonic and started with cannazime...
When i took this clone i sprinkled rockwool cube with Great white, and i continue using it in my bucket to, i just sprinkle a bit of powder on roots...
Im using tap water coming at 220ppm and 7.1ph after adding all nutes ppm is around 600...
I adjust ph to 5.6 and thats all... I try to keep PPM stable around 600, ph is stable @5.6
I have to refil this little bucket 1x day, but soon wont be enough so i think to put her in bigger ress...
photo update soon...

Ive found that in Dwc when you start your plant in a smaller bucket it will grow much faster and healthier. I veg all my plants in a 2 gallon bucket as opposed to my 5 gal bucket i used to use. With two air stones in a 2 gal bucket you get a way higher dissolved oxygen level which makes the plant explode in its first month if grown under the right conditions.

Sprout your seed in a rockwool cube for two-three days and cut off excess rockwool surrounding root and drop in a net pot with some hydroton. Fill your 2 gal bucket to the top and right from the get go you can set ur plant in your main set-up. NO NUTES FOR TWO WEEKS!!!!! Do this and i promise your plant will grow bigger then that of one vegged in a 5 gal.

First time i did this i got just under 6 oz from an auto flower. true story........

Instead of using smaller buckets, perhaps get a bigger air pump ;)

Larger sites means more stability in your pH and PPM and longer intervals between maintenance. DWC can get root bound just by filling up with roots then air fails to reach all roots and shit goes downhill fast.

Ok guys here an photo update... I agree With gtran about veg in small bucket... It seems going very fast and so healthy with no problems for PPM or Ph, got both so so stable... I think i will veg this for 1 more week and than i will change to bigger bucket, bigger pump and more stones... Starting on BIG buckets its a waste of time and money as u will need more nutes, space and effort... So far im happy with results...

Good looking plants with healthy looking roots. your right about big buckets being a waste of nutes and space for the first month so theres no reason to use a 5 gal. No plant will be rootbound within a month in a 2 gal bucket. It is a bit harder to stabilize ph but its worth it in the long run to give your plants a good start

I need your personal advice on my mother Blue Dream. How can I make the buds big when flowering? Looking for any tips...thanks everyone!

That is 100% what happened to me and ever scents I went from a five gallon to 16 gallon tote all problems went away and now I can got 3 to 4 days doing nothing

Strain of those plants is defiantly not indica. skinny leaves is a tell tale sign of the sativa plant. they will grow taller then indicas, less bushy, and produce a way different high. These plants are not 100 percent sativa though, maybe 10-15 percent indica but best bet would be Sativa/Indica Hybrid which are very common strains these days
