Well...here is my newest grow...its been a long time since I did a grow diary on here so I thought I would do it again. First off, this is our first run at the location I'll be posting about...so we are still working out quite a few things. Always open to any suggestions!!
We built cut off part of our storage and created an 8x10 veg/flower room, and a 4x8 clone/mother room. Currently, we have a bookshelf set up on sliding rails that covers the half door to the growroom. Not designed to be extremely stealth, but if someone stumbles into the area, the idea was to keep them from seeing what was going on. The area is completely locked off as a safety measure as well.
The clone/mom room has a single, stationary 400w MH. The 8x10 room has 2 - 1000 HPS (hortilux bulbs) on 6' Hydrofarm light rails. As the title states, it is design to be a 12 bucket room - eventually a recirc dwc, but right now due to the timing and circumstances, this first run will be individual buckets. This room is difficult in a couple ways...it did not have power in this part of the building so we had to run heavy gauge extension cord from two different circuits into the room. It also, being a closed space, has very little fresh air coming in. However, outside the growroom it is extremely cold and the growroom ceiling is approx 20ft high... We have an 8" Vortex C-Fan - approx 800cfm hooked to a Can-Filter 38 Special (4ft I believe) and piped out through an exhaust pipe to the roof. As well as three wall-mounted oscillating fans (2 in big room, 1 in clone/mom room). Once the weather warms up, we will be adding an A/C unit for obvious reasons.
We use 5gal buckets with small net pot lids with hydroton for our medium. Our nutrients are 100% Botanicare - I swear by it. For this grow we are using Pure Blend Pro Grow/Bloom, Liquid Karma, Hydro Guard, and Sweet (during the flowering process). We have two GH dual-diaphram pumps that power the airline and airstones in the 12 buckets.
We are running two strains, I prefer to do only one at a time but oh well. The strains are Romulan, Hindu Kush and Bubbakush...all from clone. We are currently about a week into the grow. About a week ago, we transplanted rooted clones into the DWC buckets and began a light nutrient mix as well as covering them with plastic baggies to create a humidity dome effect for the rooting process. As you can see in the pictures, the clones are doing quite well, with the exception of a couple that were burned before coming into our possession.
Here are some pictures of the progress so far...hope you stick around for the whole grow...it should be interesting. DWC is my favorite method, and I believe I am pretty good with it.... Thanks for visiting, I'll update soon!!
seeing as your system isnt connected how often do you change nutes in buckets?

Yeah, at that location they are not connected, they are individual buckets (not for long though)... Typically I have to top off the nutes once every 5-7 days and now I only flush once or twice throughout the entire cycle... Thanks for stoppin by!

NEW UPDATES COMING SOON - FROM THE CURRENT CROP - Currently Week 6 of 12/12.... stay tuned!! Hey there Rew, thanks for stopping by. I am doing ok w/ the summer heat...insulating the buckets and using a nice big A/C unit has been working quite well for the most part, here at this grow location. As far as your rez temps go...your best bet is to buy a water chiller, but if you can't afford one, here are a couple GREAT threads on building your own rez chiller. Hope these help!!

No worries bro... Taken down....still a beautiful haul though...
I have my PPP girls flowering now and managed to take some clones last night and germed a few more beans I had ( just placed a new order so figured might as well see what the current stash could give me...) A few NL x BB's, Chrystal, and a few more of the AK-48's...hoping for some girls...
Also I devised this little contraption based on Pico's manifold dripper to replace my feed lines...I have like a whole row of buckets that just don't recirculate with the rest of them.
Have you had any problems with feed lines clogging?...I am still running the Flora nutes and was wondering how to avoid this..although I think with this new manifold style of feeding it might not clog as bad...( Made it using 3/4 PVC pipe)
What ya think? I will post some pics of it tonight...
