DWC Light Dep.

**kpmarine** · 05-24-2012, 01:21 AM

So far, I'm on day 5 of giving my retired ATF mother 12 hours of sunlight, and then tossing her in the basement. She's in a 5 gallon bubble bucket. As of yet, no problems. Any warnings/helpful advice would be appreciated. So far temps in the bucket aren't out of hand, it stays shaded from a bush nearby and the plant's canopy quite effectively.

These are both from day two:

I wanted to do a DWC grow in the carport with my rainforest66 but there is no way I could contain that plant! It would be huge and I don't know what the roots would end up doing to the sprayer with all that time to grow. Your bubble bucket seems the way to go. I will be watching...

BTW ATF is the shit!

Thanks! I love ATF too. I'm excited to see how this thing turns out. So far, so good. lol

The new growth is pretty easy to spot. Probably put on an inch or two since that last picture. Just put it back out at 0800 my time.

You are going to have to support those branches during flower. How are you planning on doing that while keeping it portable?

I have alot of 3" gorilla tape to secure stakes to the sides. That stuff is like super glue on a roll. It even sicks wet.

Yeah, super good stuff...

You can get tomato cages, and by poking three holes in the lid of your bucket, you can secure the cages to your bucket lids. Then the plants grow in to tomato cages while still being in portable individual DWC buckets...thats what I'm trying out this round, though it's on RDWC, so they don't need to be portable.

Tomato cages would be good too, just wish I had some floating around. Sadly, I must macguyver everything at the moment.
