I have DWC, in the UK. How long are your work hours? Issue in with DWC is how far the PH swings during the first 4/5 weeks due to low EC. I usually have to check 3-4 times per day during the time just to make PH amendments. In the latter stages itβs a piece of piss though.
Have you thought about staying with coco but setting up an automatic watering system... much cheaper to set up. There is a great/helpful website I can share with you the link if youβre interested.
Thats pretty much it except you can get a larger lid, I'll send pics if my current set up soon, I have a blackwater kush and white-widow x chronic thate just over 2 weeks old nowThanks for the reply mate.. I have a couple of tents that I could possibly use.. I would probably cut them into measured pieces and build them into a frame in the recess along with other equipment.
Seen this on amazon for under Β£30 thinks its the direction I want to go.
Your setup looks pretty sweeetet
Will be starting to flush my first grow soon as my trichomes have just started to turn amber.. I'm Like a kid in a sweet shop
Thanks again. Mate
I didn't see it mate.. Only just checked back now.. Thanks for tryingMy link was removednot sure if you managed to see it before it died...
Hi mate cheers... I'm currently growing in coco and it's been great really... Just started my first flush today.. Been growing 4 thc bomb autos although I did do a lot of fimming etc.. 2 of them responded really well and 2 struggled a bit but hey ho.. You can't be scared of experimenting cos you will learn nothingDwc is allot of work and if you canβt check/ adjust ph multiple times a day and manage water top ups and add backs you wonβt get the full rewards of the system. I would recommend using either coco or rockwool with a res set to feed as needed. I timed my lights and feeds so I can adjust in the morning before I leave and when I get home at night. Works well.
You have a good point with the flowers and dirt outside mateSeems to me if You want hands off easy dirt would be the way to go. You may only have to water once a week and you won't even have to worry about ph. You see all the plants growing outside with dirt and water? Just a thought. Good luck!
Personally I love the coco and if I were you I would stick with that. A little more work than soil, but the growth is phenominal in comparison.You have a good point with the flowers and dirt outside mate.. I do want hands on really but with being a bit limited on time I'm just trying to grow as best I can thanks for your input gents
I'll be back
The widow x chronic came from a previous grow and the blackwater was acquired after a long search. Both came from buds that I've smoked which over the years I have found to be the way to go. I've had a lot better luck with bag seed as far as genetics go, seed banks will tell you whatever for a sale. I've grown white widow, master kush, GDP, bubblegum, blueberry, incredible hulk, and banana kush. You ever get those varieties I'll be happy to share the journalsI didn't see it mate.. Only just checked back now.. Thanks for tryinghow are you finding the Blackwater lush and white widow? Have you grown these before?

Lovely jubbly indeedSo these are my girls starting with gelato, blackwater kush in the middle and finally a cross of ww and an oldschool chronic strain from Humboldt, you don't know who much blackwater if smoked before finding a bean in what I consider to a good strain of blackwater ( I like a heavy influence of Mendo purps personally).
This is a 4Γ4 tent, 2 clip fans, a t5 florescent fixture that houses 8 4 foot bulbs rated at 55 watts each for a total of 440 total watts.
My containers are homemade, 5 gallon bucket with a net pot lid, each bucket as it's own water pump for constant recirculation and an air stone. Volcanic clay pebbles make the medium but seedlings were started in 2" cubes. I prefer to transplant as soon as I see the plant sprout.
Just using advanced nutrients (part) but I did use voodoo juice and ancient earth the first 2 weeks after transplanting to establish a stronger root system.
All three are 28 days old from transplant, tops were chopped around the 20th day and I'm slowly lolly popping before I go into flower in just under 2 weeks.
Future plans include a trellis, I usually install those after a week of flower, and I'll be flowering under a 1000 watt double ended hps.
I hate spending more than I have to on energy so the first week of flower is even done under the t5 system and my ballast is adjustable and I won't even start burning the full 1000 watts until mid flower.
Let me know what you guys think or any questions/advice View attachment 928090
