shit man, when you say simple, you mean simple huh? I gota try this again!! I grew some aquaponic like15 yrs ago been straight soil ever since. But that set up you have it extra simple!! What do you use for your soiless mix? hydroton and perlite? so how much water do you have in your tubs normally? Just got me thinking.. I have almost all the supplies sitting in my basement right now, Those plants look good man!! have to do a bit of research but im going to set something up asap!!
 
Thanks man, just 5 gallon buckets, 6 inch net pots with expandable clay pebbles.

The tubs are used as a bath to keep the water in the buckets between 64-68°.the tubs are about half full. I switch out ice water bottles Once or twice a day.

so the 5 gal buckets are ...3/4 full of water with 2 air stones in each bucket? With holes in the lid to fit a 6in net cup with clay pellets. super simple man!! and by the looks of your timeline, they grow fast as hell!! what a month from the first pics? I have to pick up a ppm meter, clay pellets and some net cups. I have all types of air pumps that have been sitting in a box since pre "2000" as to my suprize, they still work!! ha!! So are the clones you got rooted in rockwool. Im rooting in peat pellets right now. Dont really want to start the the areo-cloner just yet, I usally wait till march then ill make about 1000 clones every year for spring.

and I take it you had trouble with the water getting too hot??? have you tryed changing the temps around? why dont you keep the water around 70-75? you found it works better in the 60"s?
 
The term simple dwc doesn't mean it's a set it and forget it system. You have to constantly monitor the ph, ppm`s, air temp, water temps etc etc...

Water holds more oxygen at 65° than 75° and you want the most oxygen available for the roots. Water above 69° can create root rot and or other nasties in the root zone.
 
Thank you man. it's a Solis Tek Matrix. It works with 1000, 600 and 400 watt bulbs... also can dim and boost the bulbs. Has a built in timer with 8 different settings. 12/12,18/6 etc. etc... digital .. pretty neat ballast.

yea of course!!! I have an optimal grow environment....for soil.... set up right now, I cant imagine it would be a heck of a lot of difference for dwc. Thats makes sense about the temp of the water too, bacteria love warm temps. but as you said simple, seems like an easy way to get introduced into hydro with out the trial and error of a huge flood table with 10-20-30 sites trying to keep the ph, ppm, water temps in check and running 35-55 gal res.

Im deff going to set up a couple buckets!! Maybe next week when I can pick up a ppm meter and some other supplies.
 
Nice! The setup is simple but probably the most labor intensive of all the hydroponic set ups.
I'm not trying to discourage you. Just giving u a heads up.
 
This Blue OG has been in my friends grow for at least 5 yrs. It'll be very potent...
She didn't like the training I put on her.

I did it anyways.

Hoping I shaped her to at least 8 nice colas. 12 would be better.
I'll be happy to get a few grams off her. It's that good.:)
I just have to make sure I don't kill'her first.

Day 3. lol it's a fricken journal.

Added dehumidifier. Set at 60% until ...
During first 7 - 10 days trying to keep day temps 70-72°
Night 65-67°
1000 watts mh

I read that low temps and lots of light produce short internodle distance. Keeping stretch to a minimum. Denser buds?
We will see.

Pretty sure it's from G13 labs. My buddy got it from clone a few years ago along with his Midnight Kush. Both of which are super potent. I'm not aware of any other breeder commercially selling blue og.
