Tent setup:
400w Cool tube, carbon filter, 2 6" inline fans and dwc system

Nutes:
Jungle juice M/B (Lucas formula), Big bud, Bud candy, Overdrive and Final phase

This is my 1st time growing but i have done tons of research and decided i'll go the hydro way but i have a few questions. Would i be able to grow 4 plants successfully in the dwc system to the right ?(picture below) Should i adjust the ph daily or weekly? How much should i expect to harvest off of 4 plants in this type of setup? Do they look healthy so far? Again this is my 1st grow so any suggestions or tips are welcome!

Also should i start adding nutrients to the water now ? they've been given 5.5-6.0 ph level water for about a week now.

keep your light at that distance for a while yet. seedlings can't handle too much light

Click to expand...

Once the roots pop out the bottom of the rockwool ill put them in the black dwc bucket, and once they get big enough ill put them in the other bin.
