yes its better to go bigger and if you have to wait a bit then do it cuz light setups determines yields and you wont be happy when you know you could have bought better stuff. Eharmony i will post ideas for the abb and flow setup on this thread later on.

You got a link to what you are looking at ???? What is the difference in the Euro hood and the regular hood ??? I only see one digital 400W and it is $220.00 plus shipping. Here is the link....

whoa dude check htg ebay store they have a 400 wat digital with a euro hood for 175. damn. i advise whether u go for 600 or 400 to buy the digital ballast with the inline cooling, either tube or hood, pronto. if it too much save up! i bot the econo ballast it works fine but i wish it was digital, i did already connect it to euro hood easily, they dont really tell u how easy it i to rewire these products but it all screws and plastic wire connectors .

Highlife, I know I've read it somewhere but for the life of me I can't find it. But...... do you do any kind of water change on your bubbler or even buckets during the grow or do you just ADD water to the bubbler as it gets low. I was under the impression if you did water changes that it would shock the plants. Is that incorrect ??

Once they germinate put them in the medium with just water. Once they sprout out of the medium, add 1/4th grow stage nutrients, i use MaxiGro. Then change water every 2 weeks or if you have to earlier than that. Then Once you go into flower you can use your flowering nuts and enhancements right away to puch them into budding. I use MaxiBloom and Koolbloom which are all powders.

So you basically do a water change every two weeks, or earlier if needed. It's a complete water change and you scrub/clean the container correct ???

:idea:Styrofoam coolers! The kind at the grocery store, lol. These are gonna make the perfect reservoirs for my next dwc. Plus i can just use a knife to cut net pot holes in the lids. Ha! I just moved here and have no tools. Had a problem, problem solved. Now i gonna cram every plant i can fit into my new 4x4x6.5 tent 95 dollars on ebay and my 400 watt i can mange, see what i can max at. Ill have 14 net pots so i go for that. Lol maybe if i move the light around. Idk i herd 6 the max and i can only guess what cud go wrong this my first grow, but styrofoam coolers seem a easy dwc. :-P:leaf::idea::weed:

UPDATE- It is going good, the bigger plants were sprouted by aug 27th and are now in an 18 gallon tub. As for the smaller ones they sprouted on sept 13th and are sitting in a 10 gall tub all with 5 inch airstones. I cloned the first female sativa cuz she was sexing so early as you can see by the last picture. What you think pimpin?

I recommend General Hydroponics MaxiGro and MaxiBloom for beginners and professionals because its easy to use, produces the dankest results fast using all the levels of nutrients that my plants need, promotes root growth for seedlings, produces some amazing buds, and it automatically ph's my water.

Highlife, the nutrients you recommend, are they powder? when you're adding nutes, how much do you use? Are these the only nutrients you use in your grow? Do you weigh out ur nutes on a digi or just eyeball it?

Also I am not too familiar w/ PPM, I know that it stands for parts per million. But I still dont know how to measure it. Could someone be so kind to inform me on this?

I am looking into duplicating your setup for my 1st attempt at hydro and since your plants look incredible, I figured I would use yours as a blueprint.

Great Job btw!

Also, w/ DWC is it necessary to run it at 18/6 for vegg? Could you run this system 24/0? Would that effect the system at all? Or do the plants benefit from the pumps and lights being off for a period of time?

Thanks guys, Im just trying to soak in as much info as possible before I dive into the project.

I was thinking of growing using hydroponics but I heard it is hard to maintain the PH and the water temp because they have to be very on point. Is this true? If so, how do you maintain the water pH and the water temps? Thank You.

hmm that cannot be true because I dont measure PH or temperature or PPM EVER! and have grown many plants in DWC very successfully but then again my nutrients are powder and automatically make the ph perfect so I never have to worry. they are MaxiGro General Hydroponics nutes and heres an Actual Stealth Ak 47 with a laser pointer so dont fuck with me,o yeah not to be confused with the bud AK 47 haha
