Very nice. It looks like you have the 4x4 with 4 plants growing down well. I like bigger plants myself.Here are a few pics from my old RDWC under a 600w HPS
Holy dogshit, what strain is that?Here are a few pics from my old RDWC under a 600w HPS
Thanks!
I believe that was either Grand Daddy Purps, or Blackberry Kush. The colas are Super Silver Haze. They were huge, but hard to control height. I think they take 16 weeks. I know the season here in Oregon is too short to grow them.
I'm still really new to COBs so the designs I have were from the last couple days.
That was from my old grow. My new one will be just four plants in a 4x4. I'm with you. I like growing them out and natural. I've grown SCROG and had some great yields, but you had to work for the increase. Its true that what you put into it, that's what you'll get out of it. I could be in and out of there every hour, just tweaking things. Moving a light a few inches to the left, turn this plant a little so a leaf gets some light, etc...but that's not really my goal with this build. 4 plants is plenty for me. Yeah, I'll have a little bit less of a yield, but my back won't be killing me and I'll be able to leave it alone for a while and work on other things.
That's for the noobs who are on the fence with going soil or hydro
Go soilless. Coco/peat/perlite/pumice. Best of both soil and hydro. I love Roots Organic.That's for the noobs who are on the fence with going soil or hydro
I had thought about that. It's a pretty easy setup, that's for sure. Do you just top feed them on a timer?
As much as I really like my RDWC UC setup, I also like the thought of just doing something simple. I'm going to have to think about that and do some more research.
No till, you re -use the soil you don't lift anything once your pots are set
I am loving it and glad I went this route over RDWC............
I just hand feed once a week. And I also reuse my medium, yes.
I've thought long and hard about this (Peter Griffin laughs in the background). I think I am going to go with an ebb and flow using hydroton and a bottom reservoir.No till, you re -use the soil you don't lift anything once your pots are set
Well I'll give you my two cents; having run RDWC for years, I switched to Tupur Royal Gold soilless media. I run it with dry hydroponic nutrient salts. They work like the business, very good at buffering both pH and EC. It happens to work very well in ebb n flood tables as well.I've thought long and hard about this (Peter Griffin laughs in the background).

The RDWC UC would be so cool to build and see it work, but I think, after the initial excitement wore off, I would be stuck with this beast of a grow to maintain. Not to mention power, water, and time consumption. I think a fill and drain is going to be much easier, cheaper, and a ton less work to build and maintain.
So I'll probably start a new thread today after I modify my design. If any noobs out there want me to go over the DWC, in detail, for their own projects, I certainly will. RDWC UC is a bad-ass system, and the yields would be scratching at the ceiling for the amount you can get out of a plant. DWC has always been my favorite system and I always had great yields.
The couple pics I posted of my original grow were RDWC.
Anyways, I'll work on a new thread today...if anyone really cares (LOL)
Peace
Awesome pics, btw!!!
