^^^ I left this thread alone a while ago because of the retardedness being preached but if this guy is telling you rdwc is better then Dwc that's like the nail in the coffin to the argument for the Dwc guys. You guys ain't fuckin with Jalisco Kid this dude is like a 5 star fully decorated general on here. Stop spreading bad advice listen to the pros lol.
Wow what a funny thread.
Jeeze I remember this thread.
Yea you guys are right on. The way to do hydro is to start small and make sure you get what is going on - and the $30 in parts a stand-alone DWC bucket takes is certainly the way to go before you plunge in with a giant motherfucker like Quarterback is running his mouth/beating his chest about.
I can't imagine a grower asking the questions the OP asked would be successful running an expert-level mutli-light system like Quarterback has - nevermind how much $$$ the OP would be set-back if actually tried to build that, got to week 4, and failed - as almost any neophyte would do in that situation.
Anyway - here's a stand-alone hydrobucket I did last summer, as I pull on the gloves to take her down:

Rdwc>dwc
But dwc is a nice way to grow as well, and doing a standalone bucket you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket like in an uc system.
It is a cheap way to get a feel for hydroponics, I would get a 10 gallon igloo or rubbermade as the water will stay a bit cooler.
I feel the biggest negative of standalone buckets is not being able to use a chiller.
I have used bubble buckets with great results, similar to sedate(nice bucket mang)and also harvest numbers have taken a nosedive due to high root zone temps and the problems which occur from them.
Id personally do one standalone bucket, and do the rest the plants in chow mix. If the bucket performs well maybe step up to a rdwc system.
I would only take the advice of a standalone dwc for test purposes only and even thats retarded to me... I think the reason everybody is giving him rdwc tips is because rdwc is the only practical way of doing dwc... I did standalone buckets on my first grow ever because of bad advice on which is superior and it was the most time consuming pain in the ass to keep up with way of growing anything that was ever brought to the growing world. I wish I would have started with a cch2o or similar setup. Rdwc is the only way dwc makes sense unless you feel like keeping up with *insert number of plant sites here* every single day... This includes water levels, ph and everything else that comes along with dwc growing. Have fun keeping up with even 4 plants in a standalone setup everyday. Thats 4 different ph's, 4 different water levels, 4 different eating habits and since theres no control bucket have fun going site to site at week 7 of flower when you can barely crawl through there. To the op take my advice from years of experience now... If your gonna do dwc make sure and I cant stress this enough... MAKE SURE you run a rdwc setup... Idc if its just one plant make it a rdwc. If not you have been foretold your destiny of life in hell lol.
I was wanting to run biobizz in a dwc and I just saw your advice. Why would you advise against organic? Not testing you just wondering whyKeep your room temp in check and you shouldnt ever have a root problem... Dont use organic anything either.
