Time to start some more seeds

[ajpapenfuss]

Done with the last run got everything cleaned out made a couple adjustments to the basement added some styrofoam to the walls to try to keep the cold out 16 clones 1 gallon buckets ended up with almost a pound and think was too bad for my first time cloning just dropped two foot by the fruit Atlas seeds two strawberry bananas 420 fast buds and one the queen copy cat genetics we'll see what they look like on Monday I want to see the difference between Lotus nutrients which I have been using and General Hydroponics which I'm fixing to try I'll keep everybody posted

Hers the clone

100% success rate on all my beans now we get them planted and put them in the incubator I'm a little behind on my post these are 72 hours after they went in the dark and then in the incubator I'll pull some more updates on Monday it will be a week in the incubator

7 days in

Cool stuff! I did something similar, only aeroponics instead of dwc (before transplanting to rdwc). I used RQS soilplugs to pop the beans in, and goes into the netcup. It is the same idea as rapid rooters and it provides everything the seedling needs. No dirt in your res, and more oxygen for the roots since the medium is a lot less dense then earth.

Here we r at 11days time for some food and a move to 3 gallon buckets I have a fruit by the foot and strawberry banana in general hydroponics and the same in lotus nutrients to see how they compare everybody has their own buckets no reservoir I change water every week we'll see how it goes

 

[ajpapenfuss]

Well after one weekend the 3 gallon buckets it appears that the General Hydroponics the first one looks bigger than the lotus nutrients

 

[ajpapenfuss]

7 more days moved to 5 gallon buckets remember to always use black buckets or cover them even with Hydro guard still got alge all looks good general hydroponics in the lead

Following along! So far you're doing great!!
I would love to do a big room of all buckets, they just look so cool and the growth is tight!!

 

[ajpapenfuss]

Thanx man

 

[Bobcat.Branch]

Glad I found your grow diary. I love the DIY style and this is inspiring me to try DWC, which I've always wanted to do.

 

[ajpapenfuss]

I was in dirt for a little bit but heard about dwc thought I'd give it a try and my yields have at least doubled so it wasn't no brainer and it's really rather easy

Now I feel like a fish on a hook! I think I'm going to rig up 2 individual DWC buckets and give it a go. I have everything on hand except net pots and hydroton, and I have some recyclables that may do the job of the net pots with little modification. I can put my air pump and stones back into service now!

Thank you, sir!

Anytime my friend make sure you post so I can keep a track

Time to get the new exhaust system up we're going to see if it will suck enough air for my 4x8 and my 4x4 I'm going to try to exhaust two tents with one fan 424 CFM should do the trick

Clean white socks even.

Project one completed now it's time for a break then we wrap the buckets project number two try to keep the light out a little more reflection inside the tent

 

[ajpapenfuss]

Here it is start a week4 of nutrients and in my opinion hands down General Hydroponics is working much better than Lotus plant seem much bigger and roots seem much bigger General Hydroponics on the left Lotus on the right

 

[ajpapenfuss]

I like to start my pH on the low side because it seems to go up as my water temperature goes up

Now that the morning chores are done its time to start smoking
