400W HPS DWC Bucket perpetual grow. Old school bud: Super Skunk and Northern Lights

Join all your buckets together and add a large Rez to the buckets
then you just top up the Rez much easier

Not done yet, 1-2 more weeks.
few questions for ya:
where is your water reservoir? Just in each 5 gallon bucket?
Do you use an airstone in each bucket?
Is it constant flow or timed waterings?
Aeroponic sprayers or top feed?

Thanks for the feed back y'all.

For a Northern Light it seems to take long (10 weeks or more) to bud. It might have been a runt to begin with since it was really small as a seedling too.
I am chopping her at 10 weeks cos I need space in my bloom tent for new plants.

Murda I have two Barneys Farm LSD's and a PR Headband coming up in my veg tent. I'll post pics later.

Jimmy you are right that set up would be awesome and I might implement it in the future after I see how my bato buckets work.

Thedude each plant is in their own 5 gallon bucket not connected to each other. This makes it tough to water and I dont recommend this set up for the long run.
Each bucket has a micropore airdifuser on 24/7. No drip or sprayers, just pure DWC.
A RDWC set up would be more ideal.

I used 5 gal. buckets on my first grow and adding water every day was a pain in the ass,temps were also a problem I had to deal with,now I use a large cooler for a res with a pump hooked up in there to circulate the nutes through the buckets that are linked togeather.with a few shut off valves and a few more fittings my res changes are easy and so is final flushing,linked buckets with a res is the way to go

I decided to cut down my Northern Light girl today at 66 days old.
She turned out pretty good despite some of the minor nute burns from koolbloom.
I nuked a few grams in the microwave and the high felt a bit hybrid and very pleasant and potent.
She also tastes and smells very mild and sweet.

Here's a few pics for you to enjoy.

sick grow, what was your yield? looks like you had success with those dwc buckets, I have a gl80 was it to cramped with your schedule and the buckets?

Could you give a review on the micro pore air diffuser? Im on the fence about buying one and would like your input. Also, does it float or do you have to weigh it down.

Thanks, and amazing grow!

Hey b76 and endofwed
The GL80 was very cramped. and only fits one maybe two buckets if you veg any more than 3-4 weeks.
The final dried yield for the NL plant was around 3.2 ounces.
I have 5 micropore diffusers and so far one has clogged and I can't seem to get it clean to bubble right.
Otherwise the small bubbles that these things produce are far superior to any other diffuser I have used and they do not float.
Peace
