I would guess your yield is similar...

Final note: Pulled 14 grams of potent herb off this setup. (sorry, no photo) Not too bad for the neglect and low light. It shows the concept is very doable. I consider it a success.

Here is my semi-successful grow. Why semi? My PPM meter broke so there is considerable nute burn; that and she was neglected, being stuck under the canopy of my main 5 gallon DWC monster and not getting full light. All-in-all though, it shows the concept is very doable. What would I do...

This will read like an ad for femnized seeds as the last of the 'three sisters' as well as the mini-DWC turned out to be male. 0 for 4. :-(

Two of 'the three sisters' are definitely male and have been chopped. So much for the power of positive thinking. Contrary to what I projected earlier, I did cut all the roots to separate them which means the remaining plant will be in minor shock for a while so no updates for about a week. Of...

The three sisters (to reiterate - gender is unknown) are settling in nicely. They will likely show sex within a week. Fun fact: In some experiments (no link) it has been shown that overcrowded plants (provided proper temp and humidity) easily outperform well spaced plants as to overall...

Here is the final shot of transgendered 'Ginger': Here are Las Tres Hermanas now in flower: You folks need to let me know if you want to continue seeing more as the main thrust of this thread is over. I still consider the grow a success and find no reason to believe it would not fully...

I put 'Ginger' down last night. I did take a final photo which I will post later. I cannot transplant one of the sisters into the smaller container as the roots are tangled. If there is interest I will continue, but the main thrust of this thread is over. I will however take three cuttings...

Uh oh! Looks like Ginger might in fact be Gregor. I will know for sure in a few days. If so, I may put one of the Three Sisters in the coffee container. Either way, the plant is quite lush and it shows one may do a DWC in a smaller container than previously thought. I will do a final photo...

Not sure what you want to see that is missing. Showing it turned on just overpowers the digicam.

Three Sisters now under full nutes and 46w of CFL. May put into flower next week.

BTW, that is the actual color in the flower room. Am using 4 each 2700K and 1 each 5000K white 30W LEDs, so it looks like afternoon sun.

Ginger (still too early to tell gender) is starting to fill out a bit in the flower room. 'She' is vibrant green and very happy with zero nute burn. If this works as well as I think it will, it could start a SOG DWC revolution. Would probably use a matrix of 3 - 4" X 10 - 12" vertical...

Thoughts on bubbles: I read a highly technical article a few years back comparing different styles of bubble wands/discs/aerators and different flow rates on air pumps on the effect of a reservoir. The conclusion was that even the worst/lowest air flow easily hit the oxygen saturation point of...

Now that Ginger is settling into the flower room and is doing well, she has yet to hit her stride. I will update when she starts strutting her stuff a bit. In the meantime, Las Tres Hermanas are starting to come to life. I swapped in fresh water and increased the nutes to half-strength. Still...

I have detailed my LED lamp on other websites. If I can Link I will. CREEs are CXA20s. Amazing little candles. CFL spectra difference between cool and warm is neglible. I did, however, find some of those ultra mini CFLs with the closer wound coils to fit. This allowed me to bump form 13w to 23 w.

Here are two photos of my 165w DIY CREE LED lamp. I would put this baby up against ANY commercial lamp. I spent years studying, reading and learning everything I could about spectra and horticulture, this is my solution. I easily passed the 1.25 GPW goal post even though the rest of my...

Ginger was put in the flower room this morning. She is bathed in light from my awesome DIY lamp. Will try to dig up some pics of my space age creation.

To clarify because one member asked me, in the top photo of the previous post, the plastic coffee container is on top of another empty coffee container to keep it the same height as the 5 gallon bucket. I may have to throw Ginger into flower in the next day or else the roots will fill up the...

Even though it is only three days later, I decided to post an update. Notice the other three plants are half the size of Ginger even though in a 5 gallon DWC and under higher wattage lights. All four were started the same day and are from the same batch of seeds. I attribute this to two things...
