My situation: I'm in a corner of the garage that's fairly good sized. It's a double length garage stall that was probably designed for a boat. I put in heavy duty shelving + blackout curtains to isolate the space.
DWC might work well for me right now because garage temps stay around 65 with the lights on. I just pulled a couple lbs from an outdoor crop and have 10 seedlings going, so I'm not in a huge hurry. They are actually doing really shitty in the larger space. I had a 5X5 tent, but took it out so I could grow taller plants (and more of them).
Controlling humidity isn't easy because opening a garage door instantly fucks everything up. Also lets in bugs.
So right now I'm running a heater and a humidifier -- even though outdoor humidity is 75%. SMH
Is cool & dry a good environment for DWC? It sounds like DWC creates its own humidity.
But I really have zero clue when it comes to DWC. I do organic soil, coco, or promix.

I run DWC for years, but in non-connected buckets. Connections [ I think ? ] mean you have no mobility to move plants around, either in one tent [ faster growers to the outside, slower ones in the middle] or from one tent to another.



It's easy peasy if you have good nutrients and follow their prescribed feeding schedule. Use a little less than stated, and you can always add more if the plants show they're hungrier for more. I use GH powders with a little ph UP because of my water being a bit out of balance. The problem I used to run into most frequently was failing air stones - getting swallowed up by roots. The plant suffocates, and doesn't let you know until it's too late - always about mid bloom. Problem fixed by never re-using an air stone. They're extremely cheap vs the heartbreak of losing a 2 month old + shirley.

ZThe best part IMO ? I don't like dirt / soil and all the pests they can harbor. DWC is clean; the most frequent problem is probably bud rot in the super fat colas you can grow. Topping several times for many nugs vs big colas most always works, along with good air circulation. I've also recently bought a mini-dehumidifier from Amazon that's sweeeet !

I have no idea what chiller is, so I guess not. I think that keeping the nute solution light proof prevents slime/mold. A very old hydro guide recommended using black electrical tape around the buckets to seal out all light. That's proved to be overkill.

I've never had a roots issue, and use nothing but grow, bloom, and ph UP. I used to change the solutions once a week post flip, but got lazy a year or so ago and skipped it - just decreased the nutes per gallon and kept dumping them in as needed with no ill affects. Drain and refill with straight water a week from chop, and that's the whole enchilada nowadays basically.

I would suggest depleting your balance in anticipation for a devaluation.

ditto, what's up with our points?
Gu, Just let us know something definite
the clock is tickin when the whole system is changed at the end of the year
and it's a safe bet it won't be near as generous as it has been.
so anyone with anything to gain from your bonus nuggz better hope things get back up.
I'm over 1K in nuggz + begining to wonder if I'll be able to get full benefit from them before the change.

I think the postal service has either lost, stole, or confiscated my Black Friday order.
The tracking tool says In-Transit, Delayed, for the last few days, with no progress.

Mail is constipated from black Friday and cyber Monday sales lol. I've had that happen for a couple days cause they were backed up and couldn't fit the mail on the trucks.
But Idk man if it takes much longer that's suspect

I have had that with seeds in fact but they arrived unmolested. I have had stuff bounce between 3 POs as they all handle my local zip code.

I wouldn't be surprised if they left it on the plane and sent it back to Colorado, lol.
I had a paycheck mailed to me once within state, that took 3 weeks to arrive with a postal stamp from Syracus, NY on it.
A couple of times a year, I get other people's mail in my P.O. Box. That's my greatest fear with seeds.

my package was set to arrive by 8pm yesterday according to tracking it should have been at my town's post office about a mile from my house then it just stopped and it says delayed now. The stranger part to me is why when I check my orders on my account at greenpoint's site the order has disappeared and only my previous completed order is listed. Waiting to hear back from Gu, I'm sure he can explain everything. Luckily we order from greenpoint directly

That is exactly what mine did. Scheduled for 8 pm Saturday and then boom, delayed.
I'll have to check Greenpoint and check my account as well.

First thing yall need to keep in mind is USPS employee's are eat up in stupid. With my last order my cash was delayed getting to Gu~, but made it 2 days late.
According to my mail gal, USPS just got Amazon shipping contracrt, which we all know USPS is not prepared to handle. I also notice my local UPS driver is running 2 hours early which pretty much confirms his load was lightened and USPS is doing Amazon
