Gotcha .trying to kick this dwc off ASAP . Pump, and net pots, hydrotron should be here by Tuesday at the latest . I can snag some plugs from Walmart. Seen they had 5 1/2 inch rectangle air stones . Going to grab 4 . 2 per bucket ?

For a 4-gal bucket, I use a single medium size airstone like this:


I’d go to two of them in a 5-7 gal bucket; i use two of the large ones in my 8-gal ez-stor buckets...

Going 5 gal buckets . So I guess one 5 inch stone could work ? I’ll get 4 just to see . They won’t go to waste . I did the vivosun 950 gph pump . Only thing I haven’t decided on was nutes . I have silica blast and hydroguard. 4 buckets max 2 to start off with.

Your def from gc .lmao . Unfortunately I’m only playing in a 2x4 for the rest of the year till I move .

Hey s2c, when you pull them out, how do you deal with the tangled roots?

I don’t let them get that much growth if I’m going to transplant. These clones were strictly for sexing my crop so I didn’t up pot any males.

Good way to speed up process for regs:

Clone then sex vs sex then clone

Ask my @Steakbomb about his nutes... @Soil2Coco and @Ibn Vapin , too

Give the Masterblend 4-18-38 a shot. It’s cheap as hell on amazon or eBay. $30 for 12.5 lbs.

Works like a charm. Takes about 2.5 weeks but they all showed sex and I lost 5 males out of 19 seeds. Sucks most were my SLH seedlings. Only got two females

I target 6.1 pH based on nute availsbility charts like this:

View attachment 4324366
Notice where cal-mag are, very important if growing under white leds...

This is an availabilty chart for dwc, may need diff targets in other media.

So they won’t uptake Magnesium at 6.1 tho correct?

I haven’t had any cal mag issues this run I don’t think

I’m running ALL DWC btw, so 6.1 it is if that’s what those flawless plants under those 96’s look like

My QB96’s are serving me very well



Pain In the ASSSSS! I want to convert to RDWC so I NEVER have to pull a bucket again... at least not 6 of them daily in and out. Quick disconnects on the hoses are a pain too

Man I still can’t like anything... why lol

I’m not having mag issues, but bump to 6.2 if you need to.

Takes a while. Pissed me off at first too.

All this talk about dwc (lovin it) has me feelin all lonely with my plans for an auto-drip coco setup. But I'm gonna take what I learn and use it regardless.

You’re not alone. I’m Setup for auto feed in coco.

 

[3rd Monkey]

Anybody grown a haze auto?

Looking for seed to harvest dates but they are all over the place everywhere I look.

Very willing to try . Have you ran it in dwc before ?

I did. He’s always upping his game with technology. I just run air diffusers in my res. The plants love the extra dissolved oxygen. I just have to ph my res to 5.0. When aerating nutes, the ph rises, so it settles at about 5.7-5.8 before it slowly rises through the week
