Hi guys, I'm back from over a year-long hiatus from posting on riu. After the two 6-plant set up indoor grows with FF products (please check out my signature) and my first outdoor grow with five 10-gal pot outdoor grow AND much research and the resulting obsession with healthy living...

Today, I set up my first DWC bucket system (3 gal) and transplanted two plants from soil to DWC. Depending on how they do, I may add two more buckets. Till then, I will report the side-by-side comparison between DWC and soil. For nutes, I'm using SensiGrow A & B by AN. I visited and called...

I find myself looking into DWC... Maybe I should try two buckets?

Hello mello! I'm back!!

Hey fellow RIU community! Two months after the bountiful harvest of my first grow, it's time for my second grow! If you haven't visited my first grow journal, check it out here. Last time I had total of six plants (3 Purple Kush and 3 Dream Star) under 8 x 4' T5 (432W) for Veg and a 400W...

Beautiful job!!

Ah! Awesome. I see your point. That's why I chose soil for my first grow. I just dumped the soil out of the pots today and examined before it went to dumpster. The root system was much smaller than I thought. Absolutely no roots touching the bottom or sidewalls of the 5 gal square pot...

Hey kev, have you done coco? Why do you choose soil over other medium?

That'd be an interesting project. I'll hide the jar when I'm really stoned so I can't find it till years later.

Oh wow. I do love Ambien... Maybe I should set an ounce of buds aside in a smaller jar with the Humidipak and let it cure and age to perfection.

Thanks, kev! My head is filled with so many ideas and possibilities for my second grow while these buds deepen the flavor and aroma in those jars... It's amazing how it's better every day.

Dunno.... After I said it, I've been reading a lot about hydro/bubble/DWC/aero, etc... Much appreciated if any of you throw out your inputs on hydro in context of using the small space (2'x4') as efficiently as possible? Does it yield better than soil/coco per sq ft, in weight, density...

Thanks, man. I'd probably use coco/perlite if not hydro. I'll use exactly the same lighting system (T5 + HPS) and possibly the same line of nutes (Fox Farm), although I really don't think CoolTube should be used again. I should look into other air-cooled light fixture. I'd love to try air...

Heheh, no prob. It does look like one of those silica gel packs... Every time I open the jar, especially the Purple Kush smells AMMMMAZING!

Thanks, man. I think it will go down by a few more % as the moisture level goes down a little lower and I test smoke some more... Heheh.
