Does the dwc have its own light? That thing is huge! In the tray holding different strains? I noticed in the pic that the one(s) on the left are shorter and didnt know if it was less light or a different dtrain that grows different height? Also if there are multi-strains in one hydro setup...do you have problems with some plants wanting more or less nutes and resulting burns or def's? thanx

whats up bass ya the dwc setup has its own 400 over just her the trays each have a 400 now in the trays with the farther along batch there is some shorter ones i have three strains in that tray im running royal purp(same as the one in DWC),og kush and white widow now ive never had issues with the nute level usually keep them from 1000 to 1200 ppm and they do ok. this will all change soon going to only do one strain in one tray.

Did you say the dvc has the same strain as one on the strains in the tray (royal purple)? If so are they the same age?

no the purp in DWC has been vegging for about 5 or 6 weeks the one in the tray only vegged for about 2 to 3 weeks.

Do you think the dwc "if veg time was equal" would be larger in the end still?

well it depends man i would have to say yes for the simple fact that the one in DWC would have a single 400 running it and the other would have to share light. but i couldnt grow 11 in buckets under one 400 would need quite a few more lights ya know.

so i cleaned up my veg area and since i decided to cut out the veg time on my next batch and throw well rooted clones in flower right away i am going to grow more now as well im going to try 20 on this next batch. i took the big table i built out and threw in my small 2x2 just for my moms. i also took my next batch of 20 clones for next time this gives about 2 weeks for them all to root well in the dome and maybe grow a bit but not much.

drgreentm · Jan 14, 2011

o and forgot that little seedling is my new feminized og skunk a buddy threw me with a haze clone that was going south i am trying to nurture the haze back hopefully she comes back soon.

Nice everything is so clean and well laid out! My stuff is so erratic and hap-hazard! I am going to try to re-invent my grow area. Good luck with the sick ones.

It is a nice clean setup, wish I had more space. I'm still using DIY flood table. I need a 2'x3' but have searched but never have found one that size, I may have to get a 2'x2'. What brand is yours Dr.?

drgreentm · Jan 16, 2011

its a whole botanicare setup works really good i have had it layin around actually was growing my tomatoes in it for a while the dude at my hydro store offered me a deal on it 100 bucks and just had it in the closet after that lol decided to put it to work again.

Nice setup! How many inches high do you flood your tray? Can you take a pic of your overflow fitting? I have this one but I cant figure out how to make it shorter! lol

drgreentm · Jan 16, 2011

sure bro i can do that for you about to do some res changes tonight i will snap a pic of my overflow. my tables flood the whole 5 inches my pots are 7" deep so this makes it so the wools dont get any water at all.

neverwilted · Jan 16, 2011

What is your Grow medium and how often do you flood? I'm setting up a similar op. and am interested in your hydroton setup.

drgreentm · Jan 16, 2011

this is what my drains use they are 1/2" pvc with a 1/2" coupling and a screen i can shorten them any time by cutting the pvc down to desired length.

i clone in rapid rooters then into 3x3x3 rockwool and in my 6x6x7 flood pots im starting this a little different this next batch going zero veg time on the clones so no rockwool this time around straight rapid rooter to hydroton.

Thanks. I probably have to cut mine too. They designed it pretty bad though because it has a piece of pvc in between 2 plastic couplers, but it only comes out of one end. So I guess if I cut too short or ever need it higher I have to buy a whole new fitting instead of just a piece of pvc. lol oh well. So you keep your overflow at 5" or just under that?

Where do you get those 6x6x7 pots? I can only find 4" or 7" online.

Whats your average yield with this setup?

ya man sometimes you just got to improvise with what you got i am lucky enough that my hydro store has flood and drain kits for like 15 bucks for all fittings and what not.my overflow is at about 4" tall even though it is low it still fills all the way up it just depends on the pump you have too mine can pump more than it can drain.

here is a link they are hydrofarm pots these are the exact pots i use they also sell them at my hydro store they work very well.

3 to 4 oz's every 4 weeks under these 400's going to use 1000's when i get in a room with a higher ceiling definitely will be a increase in yield.

You decided to go with 1000's when you upgrade? That should be a major yield increase! Thanx for the drain pics. I am planning my flood table too. I have a table and pump. I am gonna take back my res though. I guess it will need a 40-50 gallon one to fill that high. I bought a silly lil 18 gallon one...lol.
