Looking great! One day I got to try DWC as it fascinates me.

@love_2_grow, I would like to master cannabis in soil at some point. I grow many different Amaryllis phenotypes in nice soil, may try some cannabis sometime. Chem degree also.

@SwissKush, Yeah, the geek and scientist in me (I have a degree in Chemistry) is fascinated by the control. But then I remember that I'm also lazy and love growing in living soil since all I have to do is to use plain old water and I even have that automated :D

@love_2_grow, no doubt you will! I personally think DWC is much easier than growing in anything else as you can instantly correct any mistakes in DWC. It is VERY forgiving! There are no watering schedules or worries about over/under watering. Never use an electronic PH tester in a DWC, you will grow runts every time. Use the basic chemical PH test, as long as you are yellow/orange in the beginning, Yellow in Veg, and Green/Yellow in Flower you will grow massive plants, especially the tree's trunk. It becomes very thick in DWC expanded clay in order to support itself better. This grow there are ZERO ties on the limbs, no real LST besides the scrog net. Keeping the PH in check during VEG in DWC makes the thickest limbs I have ever seen. I cant wait until you start your DWC! Please look at any of my diaries, they just keep getting better with experience.. and more lighting POWER! 😎

@SwissKush,Good advise, but I've been growing in soil and I top almost all of my auto's.. I've consistently gotten bigger harvests from the ones I've topped and trained compared to just letting them grow. Every time I've let them do their own thing, 1 maybe 2 ounces per plant, after topping and training I'm getting 3-4+ ounces per plant on average, some more some less. I've seen some grows with the DWC and I'm going to order one for now and give it a try in the fall when I start growing indoors again. Once everything is done inside I'll be shutting the tents down and moving outside, but there is still frost in my garden, so I have to wait a bit yet.. Hope all is well!!!

@northernMike, thank you, mate!! Here are my personal tips. Yes, the trick to growing a bud shrub, or bud tree is never top an auto, always HST and use chemical PH test instead of those faulty electric ones. I have seen a 5.5 on chemicals, but the PH meter show a 6.5. I only pump the water out 1 maybe 2 times the entire grow... if you change water every 2 weeks it puts too much stress on the root system. This is all anecdotal experience! has not let me down for 8 grows!

@SwissKush, what proportion of h2o2 do you normally use?

SwissKushcommented2 years ago

@northernMike, key to DWC is to not overthink it, and never include anything organic into your DWC pool. H202, hydrogen peroxide, 3% that you get for first aid works the best in DWC for keeping anything bad out, plus the plants love the extra molecule of oxygen that is left over, just helps the roots grow larger. Keeping the pool temps under 25 degrees is always best. For PH, use a chemical test kit, not an electronic tester that has to be calibrated. I think that is the main reason why I grow such large plants is because my PH is physically tested in a test tube with chemicals, not an electronic tester. Main thing is to not over think it.. they are plants, and plants love control.. DWC provides the best control when you use minerals only and when your water supply's PH is steady.

@DeepWaterGrower, It is a bug strip to catch any flies, mosquitoes or gnats that may enter the tent. I always do it during the months when the bugs are bad outside. 😎
