Grow in an old Computer desk cabinet thing.

Great grow and nice setup! I think in your situation I would get 3-4 strains I like, and run clones! Keeping 3-4 good strains around so the high never gets old... and with as fast as your system takes off, clones would shorten your overall time considerably and you will NEVER have a male again! Again, nice work!
 
That is a great question. I would say that I have mixed opinions of the "one tub DWC"

On the plus side I think that is the most efficient container for my grow space. It is simple to maintain and I have added the chiller and it runs great.

On the negative side I am running regular seeds (not feminized) and I think that chopping the roots Roseman style did slow the growth a bit.

I think the only thing I would change would be that I would switch over to Feminized seeds but I still have a Bunch of Regular seeds. I will probably run another couple of grows and then invest in some feminized seeds.

I am like 10 days into flower on some Northern Lights and just hacked out two good size males and it hurts.

If I was running feminized seeds I think I would go for just 3 or 4 plants.
Thanks for the detailed response. I'm planning to run 3 tubs to form a basic version of a perpetual bubbleponic system. I'll be making my own 5 gallon tubs but the guides on RIU seem to cover that aspect pretty well. I think I'm going to use CFLs for my first run due to cost efficiency, but how did you like running an LED? Also, was smell/noise ever a problem? I'm planning on a stealth cab and want it to be as fresh/quiet as possible in case maintenance has to come by or something.

I would love to grow some mother plants but I am trying to keep it small and that would require another space and I am in a two bedroom apt and do not really have the room.

My daughter is talking about moving out and I will have an extra room, maybe then.

I like my LED so far. With my filter and fan combo along with the Ona bucket there is no smell issues.

Good luck and read https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/234626-rosemans-diy-bubbleponics-tutorial.html if you have not already

Thanks for the link to Roseman's guide, it's a great resource that I keep going back to. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind going into more specifics about how you set up your cab? I'm trying to figure out fan setup, light setup (I'm using CFLs, and I think I have them worked out for the most part), temp/humidity control, and anything else that will need to be a "part" of the cabinet itself. Any links would be greatly appreciated, since I'm pretty new to all of this.

After all was said and done I really had 4 ounces of the Chocolate Rain end I got almost exactly the same from the Northern lights. Had a bit more issues with drying and curing the NL as the humidity was high but i just ran the Vacuseal on the jars yesterday, and all is good.

I am like three weeks into some g13 x amnesia haze and had a little leaf browning that I am hoping was a cal/mag problem.

yes the NL was from nirvana.
