2KW 4 Strain Grow w/ pics

[Guest]

Nice setup
2 weeks flower and youll for sure see sex

The stems on mine always hook upward in the bubble cloner also. I have no idea what causes it but it is just something you have to keep an eye on to make sure they stay under water.

They don't have to stay under the water. As long as enough water is splashing them they will be fine.

Ponics.

Not even I had some cuts I took and they started off in the water but some started bending like that I was all worried then realized that they were still getting water the airstones make the water bubbles then humidity build up on the lid of the container and then drips back on the unrooted plant maintaining it wet. Dont worry they will be fine as long as bottom of lid stay humid and wet. Just look at the lid in your pic.In veg it takes about 5-8 weeks to tell sex without flowering. In flowering about 2 weeks or less. Best of Luck

Hey all, I just got back from a caribbean cruise All 28 buckets are setup and have plants in them.. I will post a update tomorrow.. Peace all

 

[Bermyboy]

[walker_so]

peace!

I finally took some pics, please post any advise as this is my first DWC.



















Frozen bottles in controler buckets to help cool. Each bucket has a 180gph pump to resirc the system. Each row of 7 has its own controler bucket.

 

[SpoCannabis]

Very interesting....please post up more information on your recirc. dwc. So you have a water pump for EVERY bucket, or just every controller bucket?

 

[walker_so]

Thanks for the reply,

There are only 4 water pumps, 1 for each controler bucket. I did not connect all of the rows so that in the case of a bacteria problem or whatever it doesnt spread to every plant.

Peace!

Thats a perfect canopy bonzo, how many colas did you end up with? I just got done tying down all my plants so their almost completley paralell to the ground, it looks like ill get about 7 tops per plant. i'm trying to get my entire area filled with colas, same concept as you

Thanks for the reply man

peace

 

[Bonzo]

Thanks walker, lets see here, quite a few, way more than i expected, 12 OZs from 2 buckets, 400 watts, 2' x 3' closet.






that was a fun grow!

How many GH D/D air pumps are you using to bubble the 28 buckets??

 

[walker_so]

How many GH D/D air pumps are you using to bubble the 28 buckets??

I have 7 of them. I know that I could have just bought 1 large air pump for all buckets but using the gh pumps I get a good amount of bubbles even with crappy air stones.

----Day 11 Veg-----

-PPM is currently at 495 -0.5 TDS conversion- Using GH 3 part ( only using Micro and Bloom though, similar to the lucas formula) I top off daily with plain distiled water then flush system every 14 days.

Heat Has been a big issue for me along with humidity as well, I might buy a heat exchanger or just one of thoes units from home depot that have the exhausted heat through 6" ducting. Temps have ranged from 83-90 @ 25% humidity and the nute temp is at 76 when I have ice bottles in the controler buckets. The mutaded plants that I mentioned earlier are still growing alright but still have mutated leafe structure.

I will be switching over to flower in about 14 days

I like how you have your whole grow sectioned off into room inside a room. Thats what I have been trying to do for a while. Is that panda film you used for walls?

 

[walker_so]

Yea it's panda film, when the zipper is down the room is completley air sealed. With the 740CFM blower it suckes that room like a vacum. YOu can see the walls suck in..

thanks bro

peace

WOW!! So you are using 4 outlets STRAIGHT to the buckets without T-ing off?!? WOW! That IS a lot of dissolved o2, but I believe there is a point where you are no longer gaining anything extra. It has been said in general for DWC, that for every gallon of nutrient solution, you should have 500-600cc/min of air to your airstone/diffuser in that bucket. So, in a 5-gal DWC, you are probably running about 3-3.5gal, MAYBE 4gal. So say 4gal x 600cc = 2400cc/min for each bucket. The GH D/D air pump shoots out 28,400cc/min / 4 outlets = 7100cc/min per outlet!!!! So you are nearly TRIPLEING the amount of dissolved oxygen that you realistically need. I believe you are way past your plateau....IMO...

Any others have input??


What are the dimensions of your room?? That 740 cfm STILL isn't keeping it cool??

My buckets are probably about half filled with water so about 2.5 gallon of water per bucket, and no i'm not using any t's . My dimensions are 5x9x9.. i belive... ill double check tonight.
