Hey again everybody! We're up and running with the new rdwc system and ready to set sail o n our maiden voyage. For taking clones I decided to try 4 methods; rockwool, bubbleponic, directly into promix and finally rapid rooter then into coco to be washed out later. All cuts were dipped in clonex and then transfer directly to their homes. The bubbleponic was a flop. 0/3, I will transition it into an aeroponic for the next attempt. The rockwool was 4/4 though kinda slow but I attribute this to me not letting them dry out enough. The rapid rooter was 1/2 but the 1 was very fast. Its already filled the solo cup with roots. Lastly and probably most surprisingly was the directly into promix, 4/4 rooted though slightly slower than the rapid rooter method still provided 100% success rate. Ill be continuing with the gh flora series with additional additives and because we're heading into summer here and I dont have a chiller I've decided to run a sterile res with h202, no bennies :S but I think its the best choice for summer. Ill try to keep Temps down with frozen water bottles as I dont have access to hydroguard at the moment but as soon as I can cross that border I'll be loading up lol. So this is going to be very fun and exciting for my first time, I have four 5 gallon buckets connected to a 27g res. 2" pvc for return, 3/4 tube for inflow pushed by an 800gph pump. Aeration with be controlled by a 1300gph ecoplus air pump and some air discs from my local aquarium shop. We've got our 6" net pots read for the Gelato clones and well be filling with hydroton.
Quick question guys, I've been searching youtube for some diaries and tips and tricks for hydro and have been rather unsatisfied with the content I've found. Would anybody be Interested in a YouTube grow series where I can track the grow in close detail sharing my blunders and successes? I'd have to purchase a lot of equipment for recording and sound because there's enough poor quality cell phone recordings on there to go around. Let me know what you guys think! Happy growing!
Well guys, youtube is up and running. I decided not to get too deep as far as recording equipment and detailed editing for season #1. Youtube's ToS make it possible for them to stop me from uploading or strike me down at any time so before we make that investment we've got to feel things out. Season #1's intro is up and I hope you guys will join me through this journey! Happy Growing! www.youtube.com/channel/UCRN6xbdCmJYgFMnSpDCvBPw
I'll sub and watch your channel bro, but from what I've heard it can be a bit of a hassle with Cannabis videos on utube. The creators that I follow are always complaining about utube giving them strikes and not excepting some videos, you can't promote anything that's got to do with Cannabis even if you mention a brand name you will get a strike.
@Ned_Grows, this is troubling, to invest in recording equiptment only to get struck down would be a disaster. Maybe I should do the low quality cell phone recordings to test the waters. I appreciate that information thank you
@Grow2Smoke89, Thanks brother that's the hope. I did the research and tried to build the system to last me years. The only regret I have is not being able to find 8g square buckets for a reasonable price. The price difference between 5G round and 8G square was 3.50 Round to 36.50 square. That is digusting
I can see the passion going to another level neroz. Interesting about the cloning mate. Good luck getting the vids up and running. I will check em out I'd you do ๐
This is awesome, I am hoping I can build something like this in the near future. I got a small sad setup compared to yours but this is what I get to look forward to. I'm really liking DWC. I hope you get a good harvest. I'll be following along on this one.
Looks like you have the feeding pretty close mate, they look super healthy. I have no idea how to help with that mate, but for outside, 10ml per gallon is a pretty normal ratio for most organic feeds. I heard you should stick on the low side as some manufacturers have a tendency to recommend more than is required. Makes sense to sell more product I guess. Cheers Neroz
