I'm not a Dirt Farmer anymore. 1st DWC grow on bagseed.

[BubbaGrump]

Using the free seeds to figure out how the DWC works on weed. Started 4, but 2 didn't make the "cut", as it were. Remaining 2 had a runt and a grower. The runt went boy 5 days after the flip. The remaining girl is growing like weed on steroids (compared to past dirt grows).
Using Neptune's Manifold technique to grow 8 colas on one plant: http://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold

Nutes have been Dutch Pro A&B, and Hydroguard. Res temps have been measured at a high of 83deg F, but the Hydroguard has prevented ANY bad bacteria from growing. PPM starts out ~900, and during the week, falls to ~200, showing me she's healthy, hungry, and happy. I have an Iceprobe on order, and will install it in a few days.

Upgraded my hood to a air-cooled one, and the tent temps have dropped a good 8-10 degrees, ranging from 71-78deg F after the upgrade. All-in-all, this is shaping up to become a great learning experience. Next grow will be all auto's, and I can't wait to see the results.

600w, can't remember the name of the electronic ballast, but it's been flawless for 4 years now.

[Tripp2005]

Next run will be a lot more even now I know how much they streach I'll be able to make it even as it can be

May be the light, but they look a little too dark green and the leaf tips are curling down, so maybe too much N or too much PPM in general? They look good though, at least you know they are not underfed.

Cal mag deff rust spots on sugar leaves

Glad you posted , i myself am just looking into trying the dwc route going from soil.

 

[Gator44]

I just set up my first dwc/rdwc set up with a 27 gallon res, feeding four 11 gallon totes, 700 danner mag drive, two 18 watt air pumps, cooler, and custom vero 10 led panels above each tote. The growth vs dirt Coco what ever is just mind blowing even vs a 5 gallon dwc bucket the rdwc blows all my other grow methods away.

Veg is a lot faster flowering stays about the same mabey a day or 2 quicker but veg is so much quick then a dirt veg have a few mothers on the smaller side I'll take clones and put them into the dwc once rooted and they keep outgrowing the mothers within weeks pretty cool stuff

My momma plants are right next to the dwc and the same rings true for me as well it's incredible how fast they grow and recover from super cropping I can seriously super crop the dwc plants daily and they recover.

The strain is holy grail kush super dark green leaves but I noticed the rust spots on top of sugar leave not to bad but enough gave them a good dose of cal mag and started flushing last night bout a week left

I noticed that as well they don't really stress as much from like a topping tho I prefer LST read sumwhere that 1 week veg in dwc is like 2 weeks veg in dirt from what I've seen it seems to be correct
