If I can get one to grow and get some good flowers then my next grow I can get the coco. Lol but then I'll need just as much help as I do now.
I love a good smoke, that's why I started this adventure. I wanted to go from start to finish and enjoy the fruits of my labor

when my buddies ask me what type of growing method and medium they should do i always tell them the same thing:
if you just want weed, all the methods will produce the same quality product. container gardening is the easiest and least work. get fabric pots and a quality potting mix and call it a day. easier/less work to correct any issues with that then messing with other methods.
if on the other hand you're looking for a new hobby, well then you'll have to do what appeals to YOU.

I was very vigilant on checking levels of light, soil, ph. Kept ph in 5.5 to 6.5 had a tons of lights, but I just ordered a led grow light, full spectrum 1500watt.
I used flora series (micro-gro-bloom that order) had a bug that I looked up, root aphids, got rid of them with a aphid killer, that a reputable business had me use.enough room in tent.
i dont ph soil and to be honest soil will buffer ph as long as its not to high9-10 or to low 4-2 people will argue till they are blue in the face saying u must but hey swing over to my current grow and have a look at a 2lb plant that has never once been ph peace

I can’t give you advice on what to do with DWC never done it, I have no interest to.
I get it, I was and am a little nervous about this cause I already spent the cash on everything. But I'm I'm it now and it did look like something I could get into. I think the way it works is fascinating.

I always wanted to try the hydroponics cause I thought it was cool. Growing anything in just water. Just thought I could try.

*****!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!*****
So one of my purple kush seeds didnt do anything. And as I was starting to thing maybe I should just say the heck with it I noticed two little baby seedlings in some soil from my last grow (not sure what the strain is so I'm going to start calling it the Q. I rinse the roots off and got two more buckets. Added another seed of the purple kush and that popped. So I now have 3 grows.
I'm using distilled water 4 gallons each bucket.
My 2nd week in im using (per bucket) .
2.5 ml of the following
Floramirco
Floragro
Florabloom.
30 ml of Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra
15 ml of both big bud and voodoo juice I also added for both weeks 1 and now 2
1 tsp if great white.
Its ph is 5.6 to 5.7
Ppm is different in each bucket and am making a log for it.
The roots are already reached out to water I'd say about 2 inches.
I'll take more pics later

From your last pic it looks like your clay pebbles aren't up high enough to block light out of the bucket where the roots and nutes are. It's my understanding that if light hits the water there will be more potential for bacteria growth, and I think I read that the roots don't like it either.
I watched a video made by PAHydroponics on youtube that walked me through a 3 bucket dwc build that simplified the process a little more. After more research it's probably not the latest and greatest setup but like you I was already invested, and it works.
Happy growing

I have ph up and ph down I have been using. I check it every day with my ppm meter and ph meter. As of right now it's about 5.8 to 6.0 and not moving up or down, last 3 days anyway.
Yes I am enjoying very much, to watch something grow this way I think is cool. Also I have been watching videos all the time on youtube.
So far two unknowns , lol or as I like to call them Q's
And one female critical purple kush, from seedsman.com

I was told to use a drop of Clorox. The person has a few grows inside and out and they are really big. He said to use it so that's what I'm using instead of hydroguard
