x2 i have had strains dominate other strains in bubble buckets so bad they only yielded a half ounce while the plant next to it took over the unused space and grew 6 oz.
What's the best strain for dwc???

Who was the breeder on that? How long did you veg for? Impressive plant man.

what is this proving??? you have 2 different strains in a single hydro system and you are proving nothing more than the fact that your strain selection was not the greatest for your grow lol and saying tip tops advice sucks hmmmm. i have grown 4 strains and varying pheno's of those strains in the same system with varying results (of course) and i couldnt tell you what the absolute "BEST" was straight up, but i can tell you what the best was for ME. the initial question was stupid and this is the reason why. if i took 20 different strains and grew them all in soil (same size pots, same soil mix, same separate light, same nutes, bla bla bla) and recorded the results (height, width, yield, potency, bla bla bla) and then took cuttings of all those same strain/phenos and grew them out in the exact same way just sub the soil for a bubble bucket and im sure i will find that the soil grown plants grew slower and yeilded less than the hydro ones did. so again as stated earlier (by tip top i believe) "any plant you can grow will do better in hydro" thats a "FACT". asking this question is like finding a needle in a haystack, you are going to get a million different responses from different people saying "this strain is the best" but in reality may very well not suit your needs in your room with your lights, temps, nutes, height and so on and on we go.
so op if you claim you are currently growing DWC and you are posting a question like this then my assumption is that you have not found that perfect strain/pheno for "you" yet and you need to keep growing strains until you find it, none the less good luck and happy growing to you sir

ur hella boxed up to be a grower. they are plants not machines, and yes different strainz thrive better and differently in all types of water systems and soil. i was actually on da hunt for some good strainz for the dwc. and yes ive grown all diff strainz in dwc and they turned out nice, but for u to bat down the idea of his to find certain strainz thatv r compaidable to certain systemz, iz lame. im looking for strainz that are more compadible in dwc, and i a gro guru

I have yet to find a strain that definitively kicked ass in any medium. All plants require the same nutrients. While some may be more sensitive to feeding patterns; I have yet to notice (Or hear of.) one that does phenomenally in a particular medium. Plants are plants, they all require their nutes in the same form, ultimately. How do you really expect something to perform better in a articular form of hydro? DWC/Aero/F&D all run nutrients in water that is exposed to the roots. The only difference is how you maintain oxygenation. Honestly, the concept of any particular strain up-taking nutrients in a specific manner is ridiculous. In hydro of any sort, you can exactly control the nutrient concentration. Meaning: You can exactly replicate the nutrient availability of any soil environment. If someone can explain exactly how nutrient uptake differs in a biological manner that explains how flood and drain can be better than DWC or coco growing for a particular strain: I'd be happy to hear it.

Congrats, you found the right way to feed one of your plants and failed to adjust to the other ones properly.

I grow dwc with 4 in 1 bucket sometimes,right now I have 2 in 1 bucket. What I usually run into is 1 plant can take the nutes and thrive the other 1 doesn't need that much nutes so 1 grows bigger and robs the other 1 of light and the 1 that liked the nutes keep getting bigger. What I found out was I have to make the dwc fit the plant. It doesn't matter what plant I use I just got to make the dwc serve the plant. I don't force the plant I just provide for it what it needs it will do it's own thing.Peace

I heard nirvana autos and barneys farm strains are amazing in DWC.

Years later I have a possible answer:
Hydro and DWC can, depending on the setup, produce higher PH and EC fluctuations.
Strains that can deal with this better are more suited to DWC or hydro (without automatic PH correction).

I've had hydro plants get light shock with most of the fan leaves falling off, catch up and surpass a clone in the same tent that was in soil. The soil plant was actually much healthier, it just didn't produce as much, or as hard of flowers as the plants in the tray.
The best thing about a soil grow is that it provides people that specifically want an organic soil grown flower a product to consume.
Personally if it's grown properly in whatever system, harvested in the harvest window, dryed/cured properly, the genetics of the plant will have a much larger effect on overall quality than growing method.

This is probably the most incorrect post in a while. A dialed in hydroponic system is rock stable in pH and EC, that's the whole reason to grow in hydro.
Please stop talking out your ass, you're just coming out looking like a fool and nobody really wants that.

Did I say "in dialed in hydroponic system" or "depending on your setup"?
You*re coming off as a bit of a fool if you can't differentiate between the two.
My guesstimate would be, that less than half the people in these threads have automatic pH control, let alone EC...

If you can't keep pH and EC stable in a simple hydroponic system maybe the problem is in user operation and not understanding the subject matter?
Just a thought. You don't need automation and dossiers to keep pH and EC stable for 7-14 days.
