<span class="link_user">@BigDaddyK</span>, right now the plants are about 9" to 10"away from the bottom of the hood.
Wayyy closer than I like I can already see the side effects. All the buckets are already tapped so I'd only have to raise them up unfortunately that's not a option this round. Next time I won't veg as long and maybe then I can have some options.
<span class="link_user">@BigDaddyK</span>, i admit dwc in the Scrog isn't the easiest thing to do especially since I change the water every 7 days but after a lot trial and error and more spilled water and nutes than I care to admit I feel that I finally came up with a descent sytem. To remove the water in the bucket I use a shop vac with a screened tip. To add my new res water I pre mix the nutes in another 5 gallon bucket then pump the water into the bucket using a bilge pump. It isn't the easiest system but it works for now. On my next run I'll probably build a mini Scrog that is on the bucket itself or something so I can remove the plants if I need to and they are not locked in.
<span class="link_user">@BrokenArrow</span>, thank you for the kind words, I hope not to disappoint. Should be switching to flower Wednesday or Thursday !
<span class="link_user">@Kirby08</span>, ok I appreciate your honesty! I had a few oh problems in Dwc also. I found my plants always flowered later in Dec for some reason.
