I have seen alot of DWC Scrog grows popping up lately.
How about a little friendly competition between the Bubbleheads on this site?
Whether you grow in a cooler, bucket, or rubbermaid. DWC or RDWC.
It doesn't matter.
We can compare the different methods being used as well as the different nute selection
I'm doing a 4 week veg time


My Grow Gear:
Aircooled 400 w MH for veg / 400 w HPS for flower
100 L Igloo Cooler
70 LPM Commercial air pump with 6 blue airstones
4x3x6 Handmade wooden cab
435 CFM Inline exhaust fan w/homemade carbon scrubber
Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow/Bloom A & B with a couple additives
Voo Doo Juice Overdrive, Big Bud Liquid
Homemade 4x3 Scrog screen

Strain Selection: 1 El Monstre clone and 2 Extrema seeds that just sprouted

Anybody up for a friendly Throwdown / Growdown?

I'm going to sit back and watch this one without throwing down.

Might be more fun to throw down my 2 cents here and there and add a little chaos
to the mix.

Besides, I want to see what the hell is bouncing around in them brainpans and see
what y'all have come up with to improve the quality of your grows.

I've shown y'all about as much as I can anyhow. I'm kinda tapped out.

So I'm gonna have me some fun with this one and keep it light on my end.

Should be some good growing. What strain, lighting and nutes are you using?

SR71 PK x Appalachia
400w Hortilux
GH Flora Micro, Bloom and powder KoolBloom with PBP Liq. Karma, Cal/Mag and Silica Blast

If my clones take, I'll use those for this thread.

Glad to see a couple people are interested. I'm gonna get some pics up here tomo.
My El Mons will be done flowering in about a week and half then I will be moving the new babies to their permanant home.
They are under a couple CFL's right now.
Going on vacation in August and I promised the gf that this grow would be done by then.
That's the reason I'm doing a 4 week veg and 8-9 week flower should put me right on schedule. Minus dry out time.
I'll figure that out when the time comes. Lol!

What's goin on guys. I got a thread goin but figure ill post up a few new ones for this scrog thread.

Iim growin some type of Skunk I got from a friend to get goin and I'm just not impressed with it. Scrogging it I have managed to make it some what worth while to grow. Don't get me wrong it gets me high, tastes good and all but the its just not the high I'm lookin for.

But anyway I'm growin them in a aeroponic/dwc set up using GH bloom, micro, and recentlyy added the liquid koolbloom. I use a 1000w hps cool tube set up. Keep res temps down by freezing bottles. And I flush for the last two weeks.

These are in the begging of their 7th week just beginning the flush now.









Pics seem shitty now ever since I dropped my phone in some water workin on the plants...lol. used to take dam fine pictures. Not anymore.

5 plants. Net is at 10 inches above net pot on this scrog. Scrog 2 in the same type of grow medium and system but net is 11in from net pot. Then I have a third scrog in a new system I built. Its the same over all idea but they sit in 6in net pots versus 3in both fillled with hydroton. The net is set at 17-18in above the net pots on this set up. Takes a little longer to reach the top but I think the plant fills in evenly. Where as when I have a lower net they tend to grow and then bend. So when that's the case I pull each plant to a corner and work the center plant out evenly from the middle.

The new setup is recirculating, low pressure aero, and I keep the reservoir and grow area aerated. So its more of a rdwc/aero.

Bluberry, going from soil to water won't mess you up, the plant will be fine. I've done it about 5-6 times and never had a problem. I'll post pictures when I get my beans and cabinet ready.

I don't think I will have any probs. It was in the soil for about a month. Which is kinda long. Oh well..
Seems to be doing fine now after a couple days in the DWC.
Roots have new growth. I'm not stressing it.
I did see a grow where someone moved a plant from outside to DWC and the bugs or whatever else messed that grow up badly.
