After I spoke to a rep at a hydrofest she recomended I didn't use the coco a and b really as it wasn't really designed for the Dwc. So I tried something different instead. Will try hydro nutes in future as the coco ones did manage to help get the plant started.
Went for some hydroguard but the shop was out of stock and recomended this to help my roots battle the heat. This stuff managed to save my grow late on. My roots where starting to get shabby and this managed to get me new root growth and stop the older roots from getting worse. Might be my go to for root protection.
I would say my 1st attempt at dwc was a fairly good result. The speed the plant grew was awesome for me. The final yield and quality of the smoke is also impressive. In total I went from seed to harvest in 88 days and yielded 67gram dry bud.
Going to have to re try some of my other fast buds seeds as I am now going see how much better they will yield in dwc.
67 gram is now my goal to beat.
Hey my man, so how difficult is it to grow DWC? I always love when yous guys lift the root basket and it's like full of Roots like that. G'luck and Stalks Strong!! ๐๐๐๐
@OhcanaDAbiz, No a co2 bag wouldnt help because the heat issue with dwc is water temp. keeping the water oxygenated enough that the roots dont drown. Warm water cant absorb much oxygen. A hempy bucket or dutch buckets like I run is a good alternative to dwc in hot climates. Hempy buckets have to be hand watered one a day though.
Ah the air pump is out off the tent but on top of the tent. probably hotter there then inside my tent. My problem really is the room it's in has been hitting mad temps. with lights on my tent is usually 3 or 4 deg warmer then the room. With lights off it's usually about the same as the room. The rooms been hitting 40deg today. That was when lights where off. that's during the day as I only run the lights from 6.00pm till 2pm next day then 4hrs off. Going to move the air pump and add another 2 hrs of darkness. Will have a read up on that device you mentioned as I want dial in my grows during the summer.
@hashy, sorry mate, I meant to say an air pump. Do you keep the air pump indoor or outside the tent? It definitely helps to keep the air pump somewhere cool..
Or if you can invest in a peltier cooler, it works amazing (if youโre serious)
Or you can turn the lights on at night and during the day keep it sleeping ๐
It's an oxypot mate. the res is under the pot. I'm going get some hydroguard 2mo. If I had a res I would keep it in the coolest place possible. Just going have do a few more res changes while this mini heat wave is on.
