DPK in DWC

[nohibition]

OK here we go...lets hope I get it right I only do this once a year.

1st pics show mini dwc using pb containers because they are light proof. Once cracked I put in 3" net pot with rockwool. Once in rockwool just water until roots show then you fill container and turn air on, clear ph 5.8, no nutes.

After roots are well developed move to larger pots/buckets.

Just cracked a couple of seeds for now.

One of the things I like about dwc is that water is readily available and with just two of us in the house the water bill is not much.
I will start some others in a week but a different strain and see if there is a general "basic" tea mix (nutes) that works for everyone. GH 3 part start to finish.
I also keep the buckets directly on the basement floor, it seems to keep the temperature of the water at a happy place. If all works out I usually end up with nice clean white roots.

are those peanut jars connected to the bigger buckets? because one of the pictures made it look like that. what are the clear tubes connected to?

[nohibition]

No not connected that's an ebb and flow fitting on btm of black pot that I have to plug.
Clear lines are for air but in pic they're not hooked up to pump.

I only have two of the black net pots left.

Great rig there nonhibition. Im gonna try a dwc plant next run in a small bucket. Hope it works. Gonna follow along and learn somthing..K.I.M.

[nohibition]

Not too small, you're going to have a massive root system. I'll end up in 5 gallon buckets. Water temp and air are critical, typical hydro ph numbers. I may just go this way full time. No more hauling soil up and down basement stairs.

I have to keep it as small as possible, Only will veg a clone for two weeks kinda thing. Height restriction, my plants can only get as high as 23 inches with the pots. Thats why I like to scrog and grow in soil so that I can get decent bud. But would like to try hydro for the first time. K.I.M.

Hey K.I.M.
My veg cab is about 24" off the floor and has a removable btm (floor) so I can drop my plants lower but with Mamma's issues I'm a little distracted so I haven't set up my t5s (which are recycled as well). For now I just put them on milk crates to support them which will be fine for this go round. Cracked seeds went into mini dwc this morning in rockwool (which is not my first choice) but I have to work with what I have. If I decide to go DWC all the time I'll put some effort in this summer.

Ok I wasn't thinking when I said they would go directly into mini dwc. They have to go through the usual time under dome until the roots start to poke through,then mini dwc.

THEY'RE ALIVE!!!!

They will stay put until they have a developed a strong root system long enough to work in larger net pots. Previously I didn't use the large net pots, just the 3" all the way through and there was issues with the plant pushing the net pot right through the lid into the tea.
