I've seen others that are just massive. It looks like the Pure Power Plant is gonna full the bucket quick. That is one thing I find to be awesome is being able to look at the roots too.

Yes them leaves are huge.
I'm with you on the hydro. I like my soil better so far but maybe because I have 6 strains in 1 system and they don't like to share the same nutes. I'm not experienced with the hydro either. That system I have takes up way to much room also. I'm gonna let it go for now but thinking of just running each bucket with air stone individually so I can finish them at least and have better control over each ones nutes. All beans in system started at the same time and only 1 is blowing up and loves it. The others not so good.

Those must be 1s you didnt post pics of, cause all the 1s I see look great bro.:clap:
I guess the bright side is I'll have pollen from 3 diff good strains to play with. That's the 1 drawback of fem seeds, no pollen.
I run a F&D system, I have 3 trays that are 2x4 and can run up to 6 plants per tray depending on veg time.
Here's a pic of the Mandalay strain I'm thinking of crossing with the males I have now. Just started 5 fem beans of her.mandalay2.jpg

You ever add H202 to ur water? How high is water level to the bottoms of the pots? And what's the water temps like? Those are the 3 things I found make a huge diff in dwc. Once my roots formed Iwould set level to where the bottoms of net pots stayed dry, they seemed to like it.
And the 1 looks hungry or n lock-out..

I fill to the bottom of my net pots then swap res when i have maybe a gallon or so of water left. First bucket dwc setup. Seems to be working out though lol.

They can be funny sometimes.. I found if I kept my water level to high it would really slow down growth, like soil staying damp all the time. The biggest improvement I've found is when I started keeping my res temps low, I keep them in the mid 50's now and the girls seem to like it. I also found it really keeeps ph levels stable

I've read about the h2o2 but no hadn't added any. The water temp is steady at 72°, 6.2 ph, and there is a total of 25 gallons of water circulating between the 7 buckets if that helps. So about 3.5g per bucket. Sounds like I should add more water and turn off the sprayers.

Im at 62f and have a 4 output air pump per bucket and my water level is only actually at the net pot for the first day or so til the plant drinks it down a bit. Going through 5 gallons every 4 days to a week.

The H202 works great, it gives them an extra oxygen boost plus help to keep the nasties out. Maybe try lowering ph a lil and see if the 1 with yellow leaves percs up. I would also maybe throw in a bottle of frozen water n res to drop temps, that 72 is way to warm.

I'm no expert by far, but have learned a few things as I went. I would be willing to bet, that if you get your temps down they will explode with growth.
