Thinking about starting a few Dwc buckets , the most 4. Never grown hydro, so I have a few questions. What would be a good fem strain to go with for dwc hydro? What is a good hydro recipe? Nutes , that's easy to follow, please no Gh nutes. Also will I have to worry about red temps on each bucket? What size light would be good for this? How much more yield is possible compared to soil? Are u not suppose to veg thAt long cause of the explosive growth?

toss the buckets and get coolers to maintain and keep your water temps below 70*. 400-600w MH/HPS. compared to soil, idk. I have yet to do either. Only read. From my reading I see 1 thing, soil sucks compared to hydro(anyway) and you crop way faster. Someone else will have to answer the rest.

Cooler? For a container instead of buckets? I really need to worry about water temp in a 5 gallon dwc bucket?

yes, buckets have no insulation value, so whatever temp your room is at, your buckets will be to. This means you will grow bad shit in your bucket! keep it below 70* and sealed off from all light and you dont have to worry about it nearly as much.

Is there a cheap way to cool off ur dwc buckets? I just bought two pre-made buckets to try this grow method out, cause my friend had such good results, don't have alot of dough for a chiller? If I grow without having water temps at 68-70 it will be crap ? How do I get temp of water

I put an ice tray full of ice in my rez about every 1-2 days.
One tray per five gallons will drop you from bout 75 to around 65 and it will slowly rise up over couple days. Repeat process.
It lowers the PPMs just a little bit but nothing that should concern you.
Then change the rez weekly. I try to keep my rez around 66-67 at all times.
Get yourself a water thermometer with a probe from the pet store for $10 and you can read the temp at all times,

Cool shyt y'all id defintely agree with the coolers. One of the greatest things that's happened to dwc in awhile. A little more work n money setting one. Up but well worth the hassle.

What ur seeing is an N deficiency bro got her handled now the particular strain in question just wants to eat the N. That accompanied with a slight Ph pen malfunction on my part in the beginning. If ur reffering to the singed tips yes my ppm pen was reading 600 ppm to the lowside for a good Month lolz got that fixed to. But that strain doesn't mind to eat a little heavy either way actually does better when she's pushed.
Good eye tho blu I've had a lot of problems this grow back in all my error tho I'm just gonna be happy to choppin some medz soon for sure.

those are some hungry bitches for sure, im in a sweet spot right now at 12-1300ppm but they will take a lot more with just a little tip burn but require water more regular to adjust for uptake . ive found they eat up n and require a lot of cal mag too. i hate to push them cause im lazy lol n dont want to add water every day lol. im adding a gallon per bucket every 5 to 6 days.
onthedl0008 im sure its like riding a bike if its been a while you make a few oopses cause you forgot its only got two wheels lol skinning your knees reinforces the memory real fast.

i live in an area that the marine layer controlls the area temps n really dont have to worry too much about temps thankfully. im in the 50s every night with maby 70 in the day with a few hotter ones thrown in once n a while. my buckets stay in the mid to upper 60s. i used a cooler for my res in the aero unit n loved it. temps were always stable n the pump in the res was all but silent too. im working on plans for a rdwc system now using a cooler for the res. i think they are representative of the future in dwc. jmo

For sure 4T I took a good year off. Had to handle some family bizeness and Get refocused. In the meantime I got my wish my state Became legal and I got my authorizeation and everything just feelz like its comeing together. Couldn't have happened at a better time honestly. I missed growing I missed chatting it up with u all and love doing what I love to do man!Before the break I had these bishes eating out of the palms of my hands completely fine tuned dialed in and some of them drippy wet. U do get into a groove with ur plants. I lost mine. On top of that I failed. To check my. Ppm pen and ph pen when I fired back up and paid for it literally lol. Its all good I'm feelin it again mostly from the inspiration y'all and a few others are giveing me. That's real talk man. Its good to be back. Cool to see u all still doing ur thingz after so long. Its inspirational. I'm about to go blaze a fat bowl of maui wowie rite now. Good shyt and much grow love y'all. Fo really dough.
Peace

And. Yessir I am also designing a new rrdwc system inspired by whodat that's going to incorporate the useage of at least a cooler for my. Main reservoir. Seen some real cheap ones I may use as my buckets too.
FloGrow came with the shyt when he brought the coolers in many respects to him for that too. Who woulda thought lolz something so simple I feel like bangin my head on the wall I didn't think of it awhile back! Ingenius. FloKnowz. Lol
