I have been trying DWC and waterfarm type styles for the last 2 years with nothing but failure, just root rot problems every time. It doesn't matter how much scrubbing/bleaching I do, I tried a bunch of crap I can't keep the water temps down and ph stable. I have tried a few things and no matter how good everything starts by harvest time the buds are skinny and the roots are rotted. I tried without the screen so I had access to moving the plants to monitor the roots. That just made it so I could fight the rot when it showed up but I could never get rid of it. So I decided to go back to what I know, a peat/perlite mix. The growth is slower, so longer veg but at least the buds will finish instead of staying skinny and I need a real harvest. Oh this only seems to be a problem for me with cannabis, my pepper plants couldn't be happier in DWC and they were in the same tent/environment for months.

I must just be gifted with a great strain.... I havent PHd the water once and sometimes when im feeling lazy they get straight 8.0 tap water... they run in a room thats almost 80f.... water temps dont go over 70 though.... i get slime sometimes, but it rinses right off in the sink

I couldn't find a way to chill single a waterfarm and 1 gallon bucket DWC containers. Its not cost effective for a chiller and ice bottles don't really fit in such small containers. Everything would be going great with beautiful white roots and within 2-3 days you could see them go through brown to goo. I tried a living res with voodoo juice when I used AN nutes and I used Subculture M and B with GH nutes. I had much better results with GH but was chasing PH like crazy. I'm not done with DWC just taking a break for guaranteed quality.

Day 69 update. One thing about this girl she's been slow to develop. This week she finally has started to amber. Just need her to bulk up some more. I took her picture with my backup plant that I almost chose over her. I didn't because she was root bound and not looking too good so I repotted her and she really responded well. Thick bud super frosty and super stinky. 20141101_163138.jpg20141101_162318.jpg 20141101_162405.jpg 20141101_161707.jpg

UPDATE! My killawatt is looking extremely good and frosty. Smeeling really lemony and floral. Very sweet yet funky smell. Leaves starting to fade outas she comes to the end of flowering. About a week or two yet. I also just wanted to take the time to say I am happy to be able to be in comp. This is my first time ever growing. Just getting into it and started and on my own. And for a firsr time being in a solo cup I am very happy with my success with the little bit of recourses I was able to work with. I also wanna thank rollitup for allthe wonderful Information you growers post on here. Without that i would of had no clue where to start. So thank you and happy growing everyone! Good luck as its coming down to the wire!

I see good things coming to you friend! I have never had a bad experience with re-veging. She's so stout and short that you'll get some serious branching! You better veg that bitch for at least a couple months after it gets back into veg!
