DIY DWC - Northern Lights - first timer

Hey guys, iv'e had my hand at some soil grows. Still working on my skills in that area. So here we go...

I got the urge to build one of these kits because i see soo many successful grows. Im really stoked. Im going to be trying this out to see how i like it and if i can pull it off then i will probably build a slightly bigger kit.

The res is a 4 gallon tote and im using just two 3.5" net pots with two 6" airstones. I have two Cheese clones rooting for me right now and i will probably get them in the kit later this week. They will be vegged under a 150w HPS for a week then they will get flipped to 12/12. Im also thinking about doing a SCROG for this grow, seeing as how Cheese is sativa dom. and i know that DWC kits produce rapid growth.

Here are some bad pictures of the kit.

added some reflective tape to the top!

and here is a video for fun

Please stick around, i will be updating this grow regularly and i could use some guidence from the hydro pros!

Cool, so about how much longer till we see some germinating action.

Nice homie, lookin great bruh, here for the long run man, Hydro is so simple, keep the soil for outdoors

**VaporBros** · 04-10-2009, 09:36 PM

I think thats the plan

With my basic knowledge of soil, i think ill be able to pull off a full grow with this simple kit. Now im getting excited!

Get ready for some serious LST-the cheese likes to grow tall-the node spacing is nice and tight though

strongly considering a scrog because i have nothing to do the plants down too. I can make a screen no problem, and it seems easy enough to keep the leaves from going through the screen

you could drill screws into the top of your container and tie down with those-but a scrog would work as well
