So here we go!! My first try with hydroponics. I've grown in soil for many years and always enjoyed it. But now I feel that I must expand into something new.
This is actually only a temporary set up, as I am in the middle of a multi room build in my barn. Full final size will be 8'x 35' with 3 rooms. 10' x 8' Clean/extracts room, 10' x 8' Veg/Equipment room, 10' x 8' Flower room, and before you enter is the 5' x 8' Entry/Disinfectant chamber. Glorious experiments shall take place soon growing cannabis and mushrooms.
Any way back to the fun at hand. This is set up in my basement for now and is the "trial run" for me to get my feet wet running a RDWC sys. I am still going to be having grows in soil, but need more avenues of growing under my belt.
STRAINS - Seedsman Northern lights Auto and Pyramid seeds Tutankhamon Auto
SPACE- 16 inches x 48 inches (40.64 cm x 121.92 cm) Yes I know!! So skinny right!?! Just temporary!!
SYSTEM- RDWC, 5.3 gallon (20 liter) buckets, 6 inch net pots, 37 gallon (140 liter) res., root plugs, clay pebbles, vivosun 210 gph (795 lph) Water pump, vivosun 950 gph (3596 lph) Air pump, 2 inch round air stones (x4)
NUTRIENTS- Master blend Tomato & Veg 4-18-38, Calcium Nitrate 15.5-0-0, Magnesium sulfate, Bloom City Silica Boost, Bloom City Clean Kelp, Flower Fuel (All for growing those mini baseball bats to club your friends with)
LIGHTING- QB 288 w/660nm, IR, UV Light boards (x4), max 460 watts( set just under Max, driver max 240w each) (No suntan lotion required!!) Light schedule is intermittent 5hr on/ 1hr off. (Had nice results from Auto flower soil grows with this method)
