gumball... you mind explaining to me or linking me to your dwc setup on those two ladies.. it looks like a plastic folgers coffee thing using a 16 oz. party cup for your net pot with holes poked in it.. am i right or no? im still trying to figure out my best right for dwc... i think the hardest part is finding a net cup that will work.. i may make one... sorta like use.. what medium are u usin in those cups? it seems like peat moss or coco maybe? hell homie... pm me the answers if you want.. you have officially intrigued my interest... lol... thanks gb...
Its funny you should ask, because it wasnt suppose to do that!!! It is actually soil in that cup. I originally had the girl on the right in the little folgers container on the left of the first picture, and the cup sat about an inch or so off the bottom. i thought "Great, a water catch for after I water but when the plant is still dripping!!" well the roots started growing and by the time i noticed it there were several over an inch long. so I decided to try and help it along by giving the roots more space in the larger folgers cup, last 2 pics. i changed back to a smaller container yesterday about the size of the little folgers container because of space. the LS in the little red one has some coconut planter liners and perlite in it. and like I said, the big SS has MG soil & perlite mixed, so basically bottom feeding a soil grow.
I want to do a DWC too, but i dont want to have to worry about rez temps. so Iam compromising with myself. i am gonna order a submersible pump and a 6 outlet irrigation head and some 1/4 inch line to setup a drip irrigation, drain to waste. I will use perlite and vermiculite mixed, so basically automated hempy. the rez will be outside the cabinet.
let me know if you have any questions

i was actually gonna come on and do a little mini update, sorry no pictures. I checked and I have about 7 or 8 clones that all appear to have root development of around 1/2 inch each, give or take. i expect to they will start showing new growth by the end of the week. that is part the reason why I moved the big folgers container out because I am going to put ALL of the clones in flower once they show growth
i am pretty good at LST, and I am sure I will be real tight on space after that
Then i will take around 6 more clonesto hopefully be ready in about 3 weeks. and you know what, not a single one of the clones i have in there now had rooting powder or gel applied
it may have sped things up, so I will try it next time.
the SS is doing good, spitting white hairs almost everywhere now. she has around 7-9 tops from the super crop and LST.
the LS is looking real nice. i have her bent over where she all her nodes are parallel with the light, so I am hoping each node set will grow up good and make some nice nugs.
the seedlings in the hempy pot is chugging right along. her roots hit the bottom this morning, and have spread out well today. i am hoping to see some growth tomorrow morning.
the mothers, OH MY
they are about to hit the damn light. which is great because they will give me some good clones in a week or 2.
