Hello everyone, I have seen several threads saying that you can easily get 1lbs off a 22 gallon tote with a 600w light and 4 to plands, with dwc. I was wondering what yalls thoughs on this would be, and any tips would be greatly appreciated. also I was thinking of throwing a couple earo misters in there since I have extra 800gph pumps lying around.

Thank yall for any help you can offer

you've been tossing around a lot of ideas and starting a lot of threads lately. What I haven't seen is any discussion about what your goals are. Soooooo- what are they? Growing is like chess; you need to begin with the end firmly in mind.

DWC is a fine way to grow pot plants, but it may not be the method that best suits your needs. Ebb n flood has different strengths and weaknesses.

Tell me a bit more about your goals and I'm sure I can help you get rolling in the right direction- whether that ends up being DWC or soil.

Wow thank you, I love this site bc there really are so many helpful and knowledgeable ppl. But right now I have I 10x3 foot room thats 8 ft tall, its kinda like my test room because if I get to a point where I feel like im ready to go bigger scail then im planning on having a 10'x15' building built for growing. the thing that really makes me wanna try dwc besides the increase in yeald whitch I really like is that the entire nute system that goes along with rdwc systems is almost exactly like a 10,000 barrel system I have to maintain in alot of ways, so I understand how to brake down the amounts of nuts and maintain ph, in all honesty in kinda excited about it. Working with chemicals just come naturally to me bc of my line of work .Im willing to cough up the money for a nice chiller, and I have several pumps id like to utalize also, so my plan was to run 1 for the chiller, and one for a lil earo misting system I could add along with totes, if I went that way, or a drip system to add to 5 gall buckets idk ? I already have 2 600w hps/hid and I was thinking I can fit 1 more in the space ? One of the reasons ive posted so many questions is im bit sure what would be best ? And as far as my goals id like to produce 1lbs per light bc it seems like a fun challenge. But id like to make some nice atrog bud, Me and my girl smoke soooooo much its stupid, easily an ounce every day or 2 if we are lucky, ive tryed to slow down but it is what it is, im also growing in soil as we speak,

and thank you for trying to help me ttysikk

Good smoke goes for 250, great 280-300. I bought a $350 ounce of some one-hitter quitter once.
Wish I could find the strain.

I know a grower who is a lil dutch bag who grows a couple towns over, chargers 300 on oz and brags about how cheap it is gor him, me and my oll lady are the only ppl that know im doing this, so I just plaay dumb when he tryes to brag about it. but its mainly for personal right now, and when I go bigger im definitely gonna stok pile so I can stop growing for a wile

Here's my advice:

Just grow a few plants and learn. Don't have a goal on weight. You probably won't reach it your first grow.
Get yourself a tent, order some seeds, make or buy your tote(s), start a thread and grow. You will most likely pull a couple oz depending on how many plants you grow.

Advice < Experience.

Did I read that right? Ten feet long and only three feet wide? That's not a room, that's a hallway! Throw your hot dog down it! Lol

If you wanna get all technical with RDWC and water chilling, I'm your man. However, it's kind of a lot of infrastructure for a guy wanting a hobby grow. I'm a huge advocate for the tech and I'm saying that unless you're planning to do two bloom rooms on a flip schedule and crank a lot of light in tight spaces, a minisplit might be the better choice. Just sayin'...

Hydrogardens.com is where I went for my dry nutes. I got their 5-12-26 'hi K' hydroponic mix, Yara Liva brand calcium nitrate and Haifa brand MKP. I'd recommend your local Wal-Mart for epsom salt, get the plain no flavors kind.

I did away with the need for an air pump in RDWC altogether. It's sooooo much quieter!

I can show you how to make a cooling coil to chill your RDWC for less than twenty bucks.

The list of stuff I've learned about RDWC and water chilling goes on for days...

Haha awsome man :) and yup its 10x3 with a door on eather side.
I figured I could easily fit 3 600w hps in there with cool tubes, I already have a 440cf inline 6" fan with a big carbon filter . and what would you prefer, the 12 5 gallon buckets or 3 4site totes, I can easily add misters in the totes or maby dripp lines to the tote ? I figure 4 plants to each light with a short vegg time so I dont get to overcrowded, also, I have 2 or 3 800 gph water pumps, would those be good to use, and I was just gonna buy a new chiller and I already have a couple gallons of general hydroponics nuts. I figured all this would work since my space is small

agen thanks for your info bro
