Hey guys anyone do DWC outdoor in Northern California or anywhere else? My girls are nice size GSC and Larry Bird Breath OG. Strangest thing they have no buds yet! Here’s a couple sleeping. Set up is 5 gallon Lowe’s bucket with 3X6 inch cut outs on each side of bucket all the way to the bottom that sit inside 15 gallon totes with auto fill lines from 41 gallon res tote each bucket has a 10 inch bubblers made from soaker hoses, barb fittings and washers with a duel line 860cc air pump blowing into it. the tote that the 5 gallon bucket sits in has an air Venturi power head I got massive roots that are coming out the sides of the 5 gallon buckets finding more space in the tote.

My res has bubblers and a water pump to keep things agitated.

Been feeding them aqua flakes super thrive and cannazymne

@heisenbubble too hot? Or UV getting through the totes?

How do you keep your water cool enough? Seems like water temps would be quite warm and anerobic bacteria and low oxygen saturation would be an issue. I have wanted to try RDWC outside but couldn't figure out how to properly cool the reservoir.

Lack of bud as simple as interrupted light. Outdoor lights possibly interfering with lights out cycle? Just wondering if light contamination from street lights or security lighting maybe excessive during the evening? Not a hydro guy, just generally speaking.

Why the superthrive,im not sure that is what you want to use to promote flowering. And what old smoker said about the light contmination. By now you should have some flowers started
