Empty that crap out the buckets,get you some pro mix or fox farms and drill some holes in the bottoms.transplant and be done with it.get a understanding of growing before you attempt something as technical as dwc.i live and breathe rdwc and u les you have some experience growing,no way you take those plants a month in veg and 9 weeks fower without bennies or a chiller.

My growbox is a superbox, like 1.5 x 2 x 2. 0 tiny cabinet. My big colas are a out 6 inches long and fat as my wrist. I have 4 of those, the rest is all 2-3 inch long or popcorn. I guess I don't need the silica, but the other stuff is needed. 8 days til harvest!!! (My very first). White widow, auto, going into 9 weeks of flower.
oh, if you are 8 days till harvest you are done. water only. who cares about your roots lol! unless you were just talking about getting it for your next grow....

Yes, I have a 4 week old plant in the same basin. I am going to flush out nutes on wed for harvest, then back to keeping the new girl alive and healthy. She was showing signs of nutrient deficiency (I have already been flushing her for 1.5 weeks)
