Hey Guys, this will be my first grow thread but I've been a huge follower of this site for quite some time so those who make this site go I look forward to interacting and talking with all of with all of you through-out the process. I'm an experienced organic coco and soil grower that has decided well...to mix it up completely you could say. It wasn't till recently that I'd ever imagine using AN I'm a Canna lifer, but after seeing some spectacular hydro/AN results, yields and kinda bored with the same old process I really just wanted to go for it, if I dont get the results I'm used to then its Coco for life and I'll go back to my AN/Hydro hating ways and say I've seen first hand the shit sucks but I cant truly knock it till I try it. Hoping for a pleasant surprise would be a good way to explain my goal with this grow.
So this is a "Chemdawg 91" grow under a 600 HPS light in a recirculating DWC system. Clones from a buddy. Very good pheno type, typically a good yielder so hoping with DWC yield will be excellent. These plants will be topped once it has stretched and a few more nodes have grown. Currently on 18/6 light schedule and this is day 6 of veg. I currently am using the following nutes:
AN Sensi Grow pH Perfect series A+B
AN B-52
AN VooDoo Juice
Botanicare Cal-Mag
This is week one and I have the pH dialed in at 5.6-5.7 and PPM 600.
About my setup:
5 gallon buckets with 8" Net Pot lids filled with Hydroton.
Air pump powering Airstone and Drip ring.
The air pump powered drip rings are an excellent solution to keep your DWC recirculating as water pumps arent a viable option because of the heat increase in the reservoir water. In DWC prime water temp is 68% F. General hydroponics makes an excellent kit that I picked up for about 14 dollars that includes the air lift plumbing and drip ring aswell as a reservoir height indicator. I am going to change my nute solution and clean the buckets once a week and check the pH every 3 days.
I uploaded some photos below.
I'll be updating this thread frequently, any questions, comments, insults and whatever hit me up... talk soon guys. -One-JL
