400w,DWC, mini scrog

whats up guys/gals, just started up my little DWC cab for kicks today. had 2 spare NL clones that where getting pretty large in my cloner so i decided to just fire this thing up for a little fun. i have run this system before with decent success with a strain that was not really a good pic for this setup. i think this strain is much better and hope to get much better results. if anybody wants any further info on the setup go right ahead and ask.

Nice set up...what nutes do you plan to use for the veg?

thanks pham, going to be running GH flora series with calmag and dynagro pro-tect in veg. i will drop the pro-tect in flower and just be running base nutes with cal-mag. nothing really special no sups of any kind really.

How do you change the water in the buckets with they way they are setup in the scrog?

Subbed up, love your scrog setup, glad you put it up over here.

That GH air pump works amazingly, I use 1 for 2 buckets also. Lotta air in that sucker.

In pic 1 you can see the scrog and plants are all on the same shelf, now if you look on ether side of the scrog you can see two ratchet straps, well the whole platform raises as 1 scrog, plants everything but the buckets. In pic 2 the shelf is raised.

the holes in the shelf are 2 pc fans and there is another large one in the center of the res's. the large one brings cold air in cooling the res's first then the other 2 direct the cold air up. there is also a pc fan cooling the ballast cavity. this setup works i know that just havent had a chance to run a decent strain for the setup. here are a few pics of the last run. pulled close to 8 oz's off of those, they where 2 pheno's of bc god bud, they where super slow vegging which made it hard to scrog them.

I love the slider setup you created. Really makes getting to those buckets fairly convenient.

thanks man, ya i figured it to be the easiest way to change the waters out. it works good

Had to jump in man thats a sweet set up. You got 8z off of a 400w!? Holly shit that's really good....

thanks madmanred, it wasnt a bad yield but i would like to get more up there (in the gpw area) hopefully on this one i will reach a higher yield. i plan to fill the screen much more this time.

also i had a problem with the transplant of the NL on the left, it appeard to have some root rot and just couldnt root out so i swapped it out for a white russian clone and it seems to be having the same prob lol. the other NL is doing great and if i cant get this WR started i will pull it and just use one plant in the screen, its crazy to me because my res temps are in the low 60's but whatever

hello, im sort of a noob but i have a similar setup. jw how many times you topped? also, my plants are quite young but they do reach the screen, pruned the first set of true leaves ( the one with 3 leaves) and the one below it, did i fuck up?
