Just further proof of how this plant is comming out of shock from the transplant from soil to hydroponics. The growth from day 9-10 was amazing.

Day 11 still looking good. The ph in my water is constantly going up, is there a way to keep it steady or do i just need to keep bringing it back down??
 
Not sure of the PPM but im using 1/4th str nutes, till next week im going to do 1.2 str. My ph is at 5.8 on the dot when i changed the res. every Sunday morning. The problem and im not sure what it is, is the ph keeps going up steadily. Its an easy fix ias i just add a few drops of ph down, but i want it to stop doing that.
 
Today i found 2700k 100w mini cfls with an carbon airfilter built into the light bulb! perfect flowering bulb?? i think so.
 
uh...how does it draw air through the filter?

And from what i've read of DWC, PH drift is kinda normal...you usually have to do a few drops of PH adjustment...
 
Did you actually gut a computer case? That is very interesting. Talk about micro. I thought I was micro.

Is this your first grow?

I would.. to avoid root binding.

well no im not going to flower soon, ima veg this baby out, its a seed from some amazing trainwreck, that iv personally seen the mother plant of and she was a beauty. And im doing a DWC system bro, i got alot of room in my res. for the roots to grow, plus you can trim the roots in a Hydro or aero system, so root locking a plant is pretty much impossible.
 
So after a little research and testing with a light spectrum meter that i found at a yard sale for 10 dollars haha. Iv learned that the blue bottom to DVD-R Memorex disc reflects a 5000k light off of its surface.
So in theory what this should do it mimic as if i had 3 cfls positioned directly in front of, behind, and under the plant.

here is day 12!

Iv the intake and exhaust fans are 2 really big 120mm cpu fans on 18v phone chargers. they push alot, and i mean ALOT of air! also iv got 2 circulating fans on the inside also blowing air towards the exhaust and over my plant.
 
Looks good man. I think its still a good idea to flower soon even thought ur doing dwc. Trainwreck will stretch a prettty good amount once u put in flower. If ur plants about 6 inches now its gonna be atleast 12-18 tall thru flowering and u don't wanna overcrowd the small space.

And how does these bulbs have carbon filters in them? explain please

Stop by my grow also if ud like. Links in the signature
 
and yes Lordjin i bought the case at goodwill, i gutted it and built everything myself. with the whole setup, hydroponics included i spent about 200
 
Ill post up some pics of how big my case actually is, and ill let you guys compare it to the size of the plant. Iv got quite a bit of room, but i know the plant will almost triple in size in flower, the last one i grew in soil in this case exploded in growth in flowering. Thanks for the feedback bro, much appreciated. Iv never grown trainwreck before so it might get bigger than i expected.
