Holy bajeebus!
That's nuts! What size res are you using?

Just a 5 gallon bucket.

Here are the harvest pics from the Daiquiri Lime. Like I said this should of been a one pound plant, but the root rot put me back some. The root rot kept her small and a lot of the buds ended up underdeveloped. There is a shot of what I kept at the end. I actually composted more buds than I kept. If you look at the trunk pic you can see how compact and underdeveloped the internal buds were. I will be posting on my newest DWC going forward that is in the Seedstockers comp. It will give a better demonstration of what Megacrop can do. All the issues this girl had were on me not the nutrient.

i dont understand

i dont understand

She was stunted by the root rot when she was younger. If you look at the third picture down you can see the interior of the canopy. The stretch was weak with the root damage so I did not have a way to get the light down into the canopy. The buds on most of the inside were just not up to par.

Very interested in this thread. I have some DWC buckets on the way to test out, so I will be switching over to that from coco dtw. This will be my first real try at DWC so any guidance or tips would be great, I will be starting a grow thread soon. Believe it or not when I lived at home yearsss ago I tried to grow a pepper plant in a DWC bucket and got to the point of having fruits before root rot and slime took over (I had no idea what I was doing) in an attempt to learn hydro before I moved out of my parents haha. But anyway.. I know I will have good results now that I somewhat can grow plants, even though I have been having issues lately if you follow me. @Savage Garden I have been following you recently on IG and your plants are incredible.

So do you guys have an opinion on keeping my full system (6 site RDWC) sterile with just MC and hydrozyme? What about the other GL additives? Calmag, BE, SC, kelp? I have been using the whole line in coco, along with recharge. I think I want to stay away from anything organic, and be as sterile as possible. Germ in rockwool cubes, netcups with growstones vs hydroton?

Going to be reading a lot more around here over the next few days as well as your threads. @AJrexxx your plants look great!

Hiya mate.

i add cal/mag and P/K to Megacrop. my (non-rez) buckets stand on concrete and my water tends to stay quite cool so i dont get root issues. High doses of MC in dwc will stain roots.

Thanks Savage! I saw this then had a poke around at some other videos on your page. Hopefully I will have some trunks like those soon!

What are you using for PK? The Bud Explosion from Greenleaf or something different? Also I read in your comments you don't bother with PH, have you ever checked just for reference what the water gets to with the MC added? My tap water is also 7.0, but usually when I mix my nutes it only goes down to about 6.4-6.5.
