Donde esta el baño? I don't know where the upside down question mark is. Anyhow, I live in southern California. I like your setup w/ the LED lights. I am using floros, hps and induction. I want to try LEDs but I did two years ago and it wasn't a good experience. I didn't have the right cooling and didn't know much about spectrums. I still want to try it out again, but I do want to see how you're doing in California. You may experience the same temperature conditions I get, so I may get a better idea of how to grow by how you grow.
What strains are you running? Are you going to flower them in that DWC? Good luck for your grow. Have fun.

This is my first attempt at LED and DWC myself. I plan to flower them in there if I can or put the 6 inch net pots on some bucket if I have to and buy another pump if needed. So far so good on these, 2 Purple Kush and 2 OG Kush are my strains...The weather hasn't given me any problems as of yet. I like the low humidity because when flowering comes around I think it will not create so many problems. I only have 3 1/2 gallons in there right now but plan on increasing it more if I do flower in there. The big girl is almost 3 weeks old and the rest are almost 2 weeks old. I am using the Lucas Formula 0/5/10 for now until flowering with the lights running 24/7.

Lucas 0-5-10 sounds a little lean on the nitrogen. If it works for you, then rock on. If new growth comes out light green, you might want to get some seaweed or kelp nutes that add cal/mag and a whole bunch of nitrogen. In flower you might want to back off of the nitrogen.

Ok will do, so far no problems... Was thinking of adding bud candy when flowering starts. Well I will keep everyone updated..

DSC00789.JPG DSC00788.JPG DSC00787.JPG DSC00786.JPG Did some defoliating.. not all at once of course...but am going to transfer out here pretty soon. They are getting too wide. My medium (hydroton) is in the water...dunno if it's root rot but I still am getting growth at a normal rate. :)

That one on the right looks pretty big. Nice. Your roots look like the start of rot. I'm thinking the tea will help your roots, but you need to stay vigilant on that rot. How big is your air pump? Since you are doing the beneficials, I don't think you can add peroxide to the mix to clean your roots. You might want to try some hydrozyme and maybe some micorrhizae or aquashield.

I was trying to treat it with nothing but tea. I heard just treating it will fix the problem. I'll see what's up. :( If I get enough growth I will cut that root rot right out....str8 up
