    My home made clone system 50 site

    Definitely looks nice :) +rep for the solid build and pictures.. much appreciated for a learning soul such as I. One question I've always had with these systems if you (or anyone) would like to enlighten me on is the transplantation for flowering. Once you get roots in this type of system how...

    ppm reader (TDS meter) ???

    Well, RIU has lots of threads about it, I almost feel bad doing another thread even though I've searched and read a lot here on it. I've just not decided on which one. There are decent ones in the 25-50 dollar range that go to 1999 PPM. I guess im just researching which are most accurate...

    DWC for beginners

    Well, I have the room to grow some pretty tall and decently wide plants so I figured take 10 and do those.. now that I have two 30 gallon rubbermaid tubs with eight 5" net pots in each, one will probably do 8 at a time as well in flower while the other just remains clone reproduction in the...

    DWC for beginners

    Try this one - Flexible Air Stone (Bottom of that page, won't let me link directly to the product)... Comes in 24", 36" and 48". You're gonna need one hell of a pump like LongHornFan and I have been discussing to push a good stream of air through that thing hehe. LongHornFan: Thanks for the...

    DWC for beginners

    Well.. I'm in motion now, seeds are germ'ing.. Got the initial veg room setup as I need it.. Now my next question. I've gone through about 6 different airpumps now and NONE can seem to get the type of air to 10 buckets like I need. I don't want to keep buying more and more and have one for...

    DWC for beginners

    Well what I did was this.. went to Walmart (what a crazy selection of tub sizes!) and got two 30 gallon tubs. They measure about 31" long and a typical width/depth for a tub. I was able to perfectly space four of the 5" net pots in 2 rows, so each tube has a total of eight 5" net pots. This...

    DWC for beginners

    DWC for beginners

    So I'm about to start my detailed grow and start germinating and unfortunately due to being a rookie have over looked one part about the vegetation and flowering process. I'm not sure how it slipped my mind, assuming its easy, but after thinking more I'm unsure and want to get advice from you...

    T5, t8, t12??

    I've done so much reading here and as I've just received my first strain of seeds I am about to begin an extremely detailed journal in the next couple of weeks as I build the setup and start. I would like someone who has a moment to help break down the difference in T5, T8 & T12 style lighting...

    DWC Bucket Chili Pepper

    Noticed the bucket here, looks like the ones I got from Lowes.. do you think any of the issues and inconsistencies are from the light that is getting into the bucket? I noticed on those white ones that you can see some serious glow of outside light through them. I'm new to this whole DWC so...

    DWC for beginners

    Thanks for the response - i've followed your grow as well, very nice work! Where did you get your buckets and net pots? Also, do you run multiple air pumps to the two air stones or do you split them at a T and still use one air pump?

    DWC Bubbleponics + white buckets?

    So i've been reading more of the great informational posts around here and came across one instance that struck me as a potential issue before I begin my build. I have all of the components, now its just putting it together... I bought the following 5 gallon buckets: 5 Gallon Bucket Exactly...

    DWC for beginners

    Great information fellas, thank you very much. One remaining question I have before I put this whole thing together is how much is not enough in regards to bubbles? I've found quite a few air stones.. single small ones, 5 inch round , air curtains that are skinny and larger curtains which...

    New Papaya/Kush Journal with pics

    Fantastic job! Journals and setups like yours are what keep us going and people like me learning on the right track. So in that inital journal you said it was six 3" planters in each tub.. so that yield was off of only those 12 plants?

    DWC for beginners

    Thanks for clearing those questions up! I guess we'll keep using this thread until its moved (or if its moved) if there is a more appropriate place for it. One additional thing.. Since you say to keep the water level about a half inch under the pots (which the roots will eventually grow into...

    DWC for beginners

    I for one would love the addition of that general information. I've learned a "ton" from reading hydro/aero ponic tutorials here and as my first time think I am going to adopt a bubbleponic system. Here is the picture of what I'm building this weekend. Basically mine will be a 10 bucket...

    1000w Backcross grow

    After re-reading I see that you didn't recall the types of strains from Nirvana that you did the back crosses on. I apologize for asking something that is not able to be answered ;) The only other question I have is how they grew upward and stayed compact, was their a method for that or was it...

    1000w Backcross grow

    Thank you very much for this thread, as a beginner i'm really learning a lot from your techniques as well as others. I do have a question which I hope you can help me with.. I have a nice area and am looking to grow up to 10 plants (15 tops) but in a compact manner like you grew yours. Would...

    Feminized vs Non for a beginner?

    Not experienced at all but would say i'm fairly technically inclined and can follow some of the grows here very closely. The only issue im having now is light cycles to start everything at from seeding to veg to flowering and the type of seeds. Is it over all a generally more wise decision to...
