DWC Solar Storm 440 LED X 2 First grow(Comments Welcome)

[horribleherk]

When you weren't getting more then 7 zips how many watts of led were you giving them?

one plant 300 actual watts I believe there is a lot more for me to learn here but what I've learned so far points to strain selection ,veg time & here is a big one & that's to clone & run the same strain multiple times to get the most of what you've learned I've been doing this for awhile but led & dwc/waterfarm combo is new for me & has a learning curve to it

Yea, DWC was what I had seen in real
Life first hand more so that's what I opted to start with. LED was my own doing though, the person local obv does HPS. Kinda went out on a limb for that, and looking like I'm gonna be happy. Yea make sure those lights have the bloom/flower option because the intensity and spectrum are night and day.

I think you'll be good around 225 grams dried.

 

[JohnDoeTho]

Check my question about bucket sizes sir

Only 8oz veg out with that blasphemy . Lol it may be, truly even if I got 16 total I'd be one happy camper.

stickman got 17 zips from one dwc plant & a 400w. Hps

 

[JohnDoeTho]

That's pretty nice! Did he do a journal?

Biggest thing to note is the odor change. Doing a little trimming, and man the stank, and it has really changed....

Yeah he has a couple here anonamos yielded big with original amnesia in the system yielded 15 zips with a 400 hps & then you have scottyballs lol large yielding single plant dwc grows are done all the time that's why I switched from e&f the led puts a whole new twist in things if you ever get time pull up the scottyballs Pineapple Express grow there is some good stuff in it

You've done a good job you've much to be proud of

 

[JohnDoeTho]

Oh I am very proud for first grow! But all anxious to see how it ends. I'm not a patient person....

More volume is better for your new buckets, if money and space allow the twelve gallon buckets I'd go with them.

Right now, I have three five gallon buckets for one plant. My advice is ten to twelve gallons per plant.

Your girls are looking sexier everyday!

 

[JohnDoeTho]

Thanks! I feel the same but I know I'm biased....lol. They have been getting more of my time then the kids it feels like...lol. And yea I was kinda leaning towards just going for it and running the 3 12gal for the 2 plant setup. These girls may even get to swim in it!

 

[JohnDoeTho]

once I get plants on same water system, I almost want to test leaving one completely alone other then some bending(LST) and then the other one do what ever defoliating I think is necessary. Also get two clones of same strength. These two girls the little one was almost thrown out for not rooting, and was always a runt.

 

[JohnDoeTho]

Get a little comparison on defoliating under LED indoors. Will be a completely different strain though. Green Poision. It's a mighty delicious extremely potent strain.

 

[JohnDoeTho]

Really thinking of doing what they call mainlineing

 

[JohnDoeTho]

Looks like a much lower maintenance method for a even canopy which I think is key with LED.

 

[JohnDoeTho]

Also curious as my best spacing for lights and plants. I built my room rather large for 2 plants 6x8 so I could grow them big if need be and have room for trimming and bucket swaps.

 

[JohnDoeTho]

Have also considered running the plants in the dead middle with each panel diagnol opposite sides.
X=plant
/or \ =light

/ X \
X

 

[JohnDoeTho]

Kinda like this, instead of vertically over each plant, on hitting opposite sides of both plants,
