Hi guys, this is my first proper grow, tried growing in soil but the soil was garbage and ruined my plants. So i started with DWC.

Specs:

70cm x 60cm x 170cm fabric closet with tubular structure, covered in white.
10L Container (drilled suposedly to withstand 6plants, but i regreted it and now it only has one. It'll be like that for now.)
Growing Medium: Rockwool
Nutrients: GHE Tripack (Flora Grow, Flora Bloom and Flora Ripen for final flushing)
Conventional termohigrometer
100w duct fan (not sure about air flow, but its pleeenty of it)
250w 10L\H Dehumidifier (rainy days, humidity raises, gotta have something to keep it stable)
40w+40w+36w CFL's (Temporary, no money for HPS's for now)
Bagseed (Was free if you know what i mean)


The start of the grow room build:





With the first soil plants, they developed very slowly and eventualy died:








A gift i gave myself in the middle of the process :P

Plants look great! Once you get used to the DWC style a bit you should totally pick a good strain and get some quality triched out product bongsmilie
Cheers and happy early 4/20!

Hi! I look forward to buy some feminized seeds, want to try white widow, skunk #1, afghan skunk etc eheh. Also planing on getting a 250\400W HPS Kit... she would def. love it :D

Some updates to the grow room :D high gives us creativity, check that out:











Added some fans to recirculate air in the tent! :blsmoke:






Lower leaves needed a bit more light so i gave them a present, a small 23watt warm white CFL :mrgreen:






Now they have light :P






Stable, allways :mrgreen:






I had an issue because my exhaust fan was right at lamp level, and that lowered my temps a bit because room temp is a bit low this time of the year, but with this lamp disposition i have the fan turning on and off with 15min intervals and the temps vary from 23 (ON) to 26 (OFF) :D Now i can circulate air much more frequently without lowering the temps too much!





One question, you can see the burn leaves in thebottom, those where some early leaves that suffered from acidic PH water for a few hours, the plant kept growing and as they didnt get more brown than that i left them there, do you sugest i cut them or leave them there?

That's it for today! :mrgreen:

Weekend @ parents house so no updates until sunday:roll: Lets hope nothing bad happens! Lifted the lights, in case she grows upwards, to prevent light burns. Have a nice 420 everyone!

Nice big pics brother, plants look good. Those hack job net pot holes are hilarious, just buy an appropriate hole saw for your nets and run it in reverse to cut hole (if you run in forward on drill the teeth from the hole saw chips plastic) so running in reverse gives clean holes but requires more pressure.

Probably not a problem, but things like that bug me as it leads to other short cuts that cause issues.

BTW im gonna raise the little ones and reposition the lights in order to give them as close to the same light as possible, acording to their needs obviously, but lights are off now :)

PS:
After harvesting this one probably, im plan on painting the bucket black and get some 2 or 3 more to fill the grow room and then start 3\4 plants with nice feminized seeds and already with the HPS :)

Just gotta save some cash! But until harvesting these bitches there will be plenty of time for savings :P
