dwc x auto pot no competion

I grow underground, I put the buckets on the cement floor... it keeps them nice and cool.
I'm a joiner dude i did think about a false floor in the room with the buckets sunk with couple small fans moveing the air around under the floor with hatch to see height of water lol
 
The last thing we both want is to have to go back to all the countless tablets we both have to take,oil has made our lifes so much better cost for electric but that's it i do not grow for any other reason than medication for us both.

I earn ok money at work but i don't want bud bought of some little fool with no belt on thinks he is 50 pence wanna be gangster i know whats in my bud i know it is flushed right and i know whats has happend at every stage of growth.
 
true. But i do it for oil so to me its important mate medication i do not grow to get high just well.

The oil has been a big life changer for me and my wife so every single gram is needed thats why i could not risk only getting half the yeild i normaly do.

If you have got the health your a lucky person dude but where not all that lucky

You still seem not to get it. If you did actual research about DWC, there would be no risk.
 
I did i said early one of my mates gets a lb a plant dwc,i think i just panic and thought the end result was gonna be shyt.

im ok with the system im useing at min

Let me see if I can explain this correctly so that you'll understand it..

Lower water temps means higher dissolved oxygen levels at the root zone....

IF you're having trouble keeping your buckets cool enough, just make sure you agitate the water enough.. In other words, put more air pumps or stronger air pumps and use blue air stones. See?? The higher the temps the faster you have to move the water to get the roots the dissolved oxygen they need.

This only works up to temps like 76 degrees.

Your idea is not as bad as it seems to me at the least.

Hope this helps a little..
 
its done now back to auto pots,just hope any one reading this teks what ya said before jumping in but the air going to my pots was good from a compressor 2 large stones each pot
 
look dwc is shit, lekki goes of and your fucked

nUFF SAID,

AND

i se u shruggin ttt advice, your a fool, he has forgotten more than u would ever know.
 
Because you didn't do the required research.. DWC did not create the risk to yield, you did. You didn't keep your environment in check.
if the enviroment is wrong then why do i get what i get from auto pots,its that i don't understand so what your saying is all the things i had in my room were wrong because i was useing dwc,load of shyt mate the dude answered the question i asked early iun one answer water chiller.

The reason the plants were in bad shape is because of the juice i use to light up the room the room not keyed,custom built dude everything from a doser to co2 tanks,temps 28/29 perfect.

It was a mess because i used new nutes,i have never used em before aqua flakes,im a user of advanced and canna combo.

i would rather flip to a hydro system that can cope with higher temps all though 28/29 are pretty good.the plants if i had took photo's was pretty good but they would not have produced the amount i want from them.

Im not doing this for fun dude its a project that effects my and my wifes health,if the number are not there.You would not say how much yeild you got but i dont know if you know how much bud you need to get a small amout of oil.

Ya see its advice like you was saying that fucks so many newbies grows up you should have just said have ya got a water chiller mate

You are completely confused at this point it seems. I gave you the same answer, yet somehow his is right but mine is wrong. When you run hydro, the water temperature is taken into account with regard to environmental control. your environment was wrong, hence the requirement for a chiller.

I still think you did something else wrong as well though, as i stated, my grow ran at the very upper limit with regard to temperatures, yet my reservoirs were alway fine and roots always just fine. What colour were your reservoirs?
 
i aint just built a room and thrown plants in dude,been doing this before god decided to have a kid

I think the aqua flakes too i have worked with canna and advanced since the first hydro shops started.

plants can deal with higher temps in a medium like coco or soil far better than roots hanging in a bucket of nutes no matter how cool the water is.

It is weired because i only top feed for 5/6 days once next set go in big room till roots,hit the bottom of the tub in auto pots then they are still in a small amount of nutes with a air ring in the bottom of the pots,then tank is turned on and are fed via tank

well the temps you previously stated were well within DWC limits. As i say, i used to run at upto 32C without an issue with DWC, so maybe it wasn't simply the room temp.
 
i think it was a combo of me not haveing my heart in the grow,and the new nutes the plants looked ok prob would have got a decent amount of em but i had plants to go in there place same size but more tops better looking ,i know what they are gonna produce with the other system too much guess work in the final count yeild wise.

end of thread now bored so you must be,but the same strain in in the same room but in auto pots but diff nutes canna they grew 3 " last night in 24 hour with 3 x 600 2 in cool hoods and a swinger a moveing light 600 hps i drop in diff spots in the room temps are 29 .
Its what your used to growing if i would have put photo's up most would have said there was nothing wrong with em,not just saying it mate i can tell whats wrong just through looking i knew it was a root problem so i hit em with cannazime,but to be honest i do not think i gave that time to work.

This country plant numbers are a big thing the less the better why i graft diff strains to each other.and after all we are growing for medication if i had got half the amout say 7 per plant,this would have ment i would have had to do a other i only grow for the med/oil i need with the odd bit of dry sift or hash but only use that if i can't sleep.

Too most on here its prob about the buz to me its about medication dude,why im thinking of going over to full on cannatonic but can only get femanised seeds for some reason so if any one reading this has cannatonic reg let me know

any how all good in the outdoors and then just finish this one then i get what i need for a few month from out doors for free well if we ever get any sun

You made the thread, i'm replying. Deal with it. Why would i not reply to highlight the silliness of it? Otherwise some poor newbie might actually read this and go buy some autopots thinking they're better than dwc all because you couldn't use them effectively.

Awww, now you're having to resort to the old unless you say then i don't believe you routine. How cute.

My grow was irrelevant to this thread. How do you not get this? :lol: what has my grow got to do with you not controlling your environment? :lol:
So this tread old I know but your grow isn't irrelevant if you are using your grow results to justify your statement. And to someone that was contemplating growing with the dwc in hot climates with. No way to control the water temps then this post would help stir them so so.ething like auto pots that dont have that issue to deal with considering growing medium regulate pot temps. All grow rooms budgets grow experience and set up are different so for that reason no question or post are bad. Even the stupid ones, because someone might be thinking along those same stupid lines and realize that after reading a stupid post. This post actually helped me decide to use auto pots over dwc because I dont want to worry about controlling water res temps. So thanks @tykes1973 for what I got from your comments. tip top toter what I got from your comments is that you know it all and dont have patience for people that dont know or grow like you.

I have patience for most growers ,I have used both systems along with most others out there.But its the ease of the auto pots i like and the results.I get on with most growers on here ,if I comment on something its because I have either had it happen to me or seen it in other gardens.I dont comment of stuff I aint done my self.But glad ya getting on with auto pots dude,keep growing

Seems to me like the solution here is RDWC with a fairly large res outside the grow room.
