Hello all, I have been growing my own meds I Started out growing in soil. I Enjoyed the soil part just didn’t enjoy the messes, slower growth and bugs so I decide to do Hydro.
My first hydro in a dwc 5 gal bucket, turned out ok but didn’t have recirculating and the more I realized the bigger the plant the more maintenance I had established for myself. It was hard maintaining four 5 gal buckets to clean out and purge, So I decided to do a recirculating hydro system. My 1st system was a success but had a few problems like a low reserve tank with 8 gal and it was distributing to 4, 5 gal buckets so I was checking the levels 2 times a day and had to refill the reserve tank on a daily basis and I created more work than I can take with my schedule.
Over my time growing I’ve learned that these plants suck water like a MF when they get bigger.
So now I have 1 , 5 gal bucket with a 27 gal reservoir tank to recirculate.
I just transplanted this purple sour D today from the baby room that was only getting 90 watts and look how big she got under the SF1000, and now it’s in a 5x5’ tent with a Sf4000 and I will be adding another SF 4000 when she gets her training in. Seems so much easier to handle to me. Wish me luck! This baby gonna get big hopefully with proper maintaining and care. Just gotta get rid of them spider mites
