hey very nice setup im 1 month into veg doing a dwc and was wondering how much dry ice you use for the space and also what do u put it in etc. bucket, stirafoam thanks
I would buy 4 bricks at a time that would cost about $20. I had a plastic cooler I stacked them in(staking them makes them last longer) Then I drilled a hole and put 1/2" tubing into the lid of the cooler and taped it to the back of one of my fans. This isnt going to enrich the room to the optimum co2 level, but it will keep it higher than normal. That ammount of dry ice would take 2-6 days to melt depending opn room temps. I only reccomend doing this as a temporary thing, It is much better to invest in a bottle and a regulator or a generator.hey very nice setup im 1 month into veg doing a dwc and was wondering how much dry ice you use for the space and also what do u put it in etc. bucket, stirafoam thanks
85F is ok with proper co2 enrichment and is actually needed to take full advantage of it. You mentioned you had an inline fan, but is your light sealed and being cooled by it? Air cooling your light is the best way to keep temps under controll besides having good intake/exhaust for the room. If you want to use co2, you'll have to aircool the light without drawing air from your closet., which can be difficult to figure out if you dont want to make holes in the walls. Give me a better description of how you use your fans and how you want to use them, and I can help out a lot more.my room looks about the same dimensions i'm vegging in my closet and going to flower somewhere else.....doing it as i go along i guess. i have a 400w mh/hps 2 feet away from my girls and the closet gets around 85 degrees i have a 500cfm inline duct and a oscilating fan blowing air in the closet with the door open. I guess my question is this ok 85 and or how can i get the temps down pls and thank you
Thanks for stopping byski.bumpski
1.) You should probly use 1 plant per container, with that beigh said, for the size you want the plant to get to be able to fill out the screen nicely, I would go with the 3" heavy duty's I use. You can still use the neoprene or hydrotron, wither will work, but the hydrotron is a little cheaper. I am currently doing both in my grow to see if there is any difference in growth. Havent noticed any so far. The stem may be restricted in 2" pots.Sorry for the brief hijack. But I wanted to show you what I've been brewing up and ask a few questions.
First, my ScrOG'ette:
Two ScrOG'ettes:
Mother Tub and stand:
Each ScrOGette will represent one two-week cycle of the grow with 5 total (with one for veg to fill the screen). At least that's the plan.
So now for some questions. I've been reading through StinkBud's journal https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/116859-harvest-pound-every-three-weeks.html and was looking at using 2" netpots with the neoprene insert. The cabinet is 35" tall, the tub is 5" tall and there is 4" between the top of the tub and the screen, giving me 26" to the top, but i still need to take into account the 5" light tube.
Questions:
1. Do you foresee any issues using 2" netpots with support rather than 4" and hydroton?
2. The screen on each is 16"x14" or 56 bud sites. Will I need 2 plants to fill the screen and will I be able to contain 2 root systems in a 6 qt. container? My gut says one plant topped to increase branching. I'm still on the lookout for a 16 x 14 x 5" tub.
Again sorry for the hijack. Friday night I spent 2 hours creating a thread for my cabinet build with lots of pics and the post disappeared just near the end and was nowhere to be found. I just haven't had the time to retype it in but I will soon.
Everything looks great on your end. Keep up the good work. If you get a chance, check out my albums.

1.)If you are using a hybrid strain(What I usually use) I would veg it out until about 2/3-3/4 of the screen was filled out and flip it. A single plant of this size will fill out nicely and most likely be 12"-20" above the screen. Dont stress if you dont get every square filled with a branch. It is more important to get the whole screen filled and the branches as evenly spaced out as you can. If your buds are getting any kind of weight to them(a good thing) having that many packed in would cause them to all be touching leading to poor air circulation and opening up for a lot of problems.Truth be told told I've grow very few things (and many house plants that have gone to that great garden in the sky). Basically some pumpkins, strawberries, sunflowers, peppers and tomatoes. Nothing fancy, just set up an area in the back, threw a layer of topsoil down, poked the seeds in and just watered. Worked beautiful. With that said, I feel I've used up all of my "beginners luck".
Point being I just assumed netpots came 2" and 4". 3" is perfect and they are ordered and on their way.
When I went to Walmart to pick up the containers, it was interesting that they had 2 complete LONG aisles with 4 different brands. They also had containers at the ends of the aisle's plus a crapload of huge containers on clearance in the back for like $3/4 ea. But with all of the variety, they didn't carry the 16qt. But Target is on a tear right now! They have 2 1/2 aisle's and they had the Sterilite 16qt with blue lid.
Tub and screen went from 10" to 12" high with 22" remaining from screen to the top of the space and not accounting for the light. This should give me more stable solutions and give me a bit of breathing room should I not be able to look in on them for a day to top off.
For a few other pieces of info, I'm looking at 430W HPS running a closed loop 5" cool tube. The flower space is 46"w x 34"h x 17"d and all surfaces covered in 2mil mylar.
With that I have some new questions:
1. If I want to ensure the canopy doesn't grow any higher than 18" above the screen, how soon should I start 12/12 assuming the rooted clones will already reach the screen (4") when moved from the clone box into the grow reservoir?
2. Depending on how long I can veg (based on question 1), once I go into 12/12 will one plant fill the screen (16"x14" w/ 56 squares) before it stops growing? Or should I consider a second plant per tub to maximize potential (basically fill out the screen without added height)?
That's it for now. Check out my cabinet build in my signature. I'm also going to start my grow journal in the DWC room shortly. Again thanks for the guidance. I'm looking forward to paying forward!

Thanks bro. It is dank, I cant wait for cut day. Should be around 2 weeks.hell yea man u are doing the damn thing hahah keep up the good growin dat blue kush looks fucin dank!!!!! +REP
Looking good man; sorry about the little mite speedbump, but it sounds like you've got it under control.Thanks fuzzy. They are putting on some weight right now and I can wait for monday to roll around and put up some freh shots. They are noticably bigger than the shots from above. And thanks for the rep.
Uh, No. But I will smoke a bowl in your honor. glad you like how they look.send me a dub?
LOL Thats funny he would ask.Uh, No. But I will smoke a bowl in your honor. glad you like how they look.
