The standard DWC bucket is 20 ltr so if your running 4 plants from one res then you want something decent, the bigger the res the more stable your ph and you wont have to top up as much. Cant see that going anywhere if you nudge it, that one may not be ideal but something similar will do the job. Pop down to BnQ theres plenty of boxes to have a look at and you can get a feel for them and find one with a flat lid, there easier to cut. Res changes are simple with a drain valve.

thats one full week since i've had a drink and i gotta admit ahm feeling a lot better, even though i owe a bit of money out imnot cracking up and getting angry about it, im just ;laid back and fully aware of what ive got to do, bloody nice to be in my head for a change. physically i feel fuckin great too, noo back or muscle pains, must be the lack of stress, ive been eatin normally and been out walking and shit, made uni the last two times and i'll be there again on monday. 7 weeks till harvest and all will be perfect after that, i dont even need a great crop. as long as ive picked up some dwc experience and paid for chrimbo i don't give a shit.its a bright clear dry autumn morning, my favourite time of the year as well, aaaaaahhhhh,lovely.

Never had mould issues man running DWC but what i found was anything over 6 buckets becomes work, that is if you do res changes and top ups regularly. Anyone wanting to do hydro should take a look at NFT, same results as DWC but a hell of alot easier plus less chance of the dreaded root rot.

mould need an organic compound to grow on i think, that why soil tends to get mouldy, not too sure though. i'll tell u in in the next few weeks though, i'd start a journal but i'm a lazy fuck. think i'll do one on my next run though from seed to harvest.mite be stable enuff by that time if i'm still off the sauce.

Ionic will make the roots go an off white colour. Especially the boost. DWC is more prone to mold but just go overkill with fans. I used an aircon in the summer which acted as a de humidifier. No need for the winter me thinks. Don, Ive used most hydro methods and DWC wins hands down. Never had a plant less than 4 oz

to the yanks on behalf of queen elizabeth

To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II:

In light of your immediate failure to financially manage yourselves and also in recent years your tendency to elect incompetent Presidents of the USA and therefore not able to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas , which she does not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.'Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').


Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.' '

3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.)

8.You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. New Zealand beer is also acceptable, as New Zealand is pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

11. You will cease playing American football. There are only two kinds of proper football; one you call soccer, and rugby (dominated by the New Zealanders). Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of poofs).

12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America . Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the English (World dominators) first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4.20 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God Save the Queen!​
