Grow Mediums DWC Thought & a Question or 2

[CLMonkey]

Hello AFN Brothers and sisters as i have spent hours reading through posts and grow journals on DWC i have to say you guys have me HOOKED!! Real excited to finish collecting my gear, so i can grow me a monster!
I have a thought that i have not seen touched on yet, but i haven't read them all yet..so please excuse me if i am beating a dead horse.
as i read about DWC i see that once bloom starts the girls will be drinking the nutes/water like she has been smoking something dank herself, would it be feasible to have a second reservoir of water on standby with basic nutes and O2 at the ready to do a final small nute tweak just before topping of the res?
my thoughts for this being that the spare water in wait will have a bit of time to level of Ph/ temperature wise? or would sitting around a couple days be bad for the mixture? Please throw any and all ideas my way. Thank you Peace :smoke:

hey CLM ill do my make up or water change nutesoup about 48 hours before use and keep the air stones in it till I use it, always ck PH/EC before use. follow some DWC grows get all the info you can before starting a DWC grow they can be a REAL learning curve, there will be a lot of oh shit along the way but well worth the effort when dialed in.

Thanks toke.. your absolutely right about the shear amount of shared knowledge on here! My wife is a non smoker, and i don't tell my friends my intention..and that leaves no one to talk to about it, so im lovin being able to learn about what has always been a fun hobby for me.. (in dirt that is) but i am loving what i am seeing from dwc. now i don't claim to be the best.. but i have grown some monsters in my day, mostly in an outdoor greenhouse.. so when i see what you guys are doing in a 5 gal bucket.. i just have to get in on it! lol
I have my eyes on these 3 to try:
Cream of the Crop - Narcotic Cush
Pyramid auto Super Hash
Pyramid auto Anubis
and i am sure i will get excited over others and want them too :group:

sorry about the double reply toke.. but i have a question
I understand the importance of O2 to the roots, and was wondering if there would be any advantage to adding O2 at the air pump intake? or is there max ppm that is recommend?

I myself just used micro bubble stones DWC buckets or tubs. I would be more concerned about water temps and controlling it the hot weather before I even start a grow... control of water temp is a must to healthy plants. learn to control your water the girls will do their job if you screw up their water world they'll let you know in short order and any DWC grower will tell you that... we have all been there so just grab a bucket and let it rip, enjoy.

I was reading about heat effects on hydro, so that was a major concern when i chose "the spot" it has held 62-68f @ 45-57% sitting ambient (it is built in fiberglass shower stall) 2.5'x2.5'..not very big, but im only 1 person and cant afford much on SSDI. So far i only have a small LED & 2 T5HO 3' tubes, so i wont have a lot of heat there. so i can use the overhead shower fan to "vac" lol out the smells when they come knocking originally i was thinking 4x5G DWC.. but after seeing the monsters on here i'm not even gonna pretend i have room for 4! i'm down to 2 ladies who are gonna have to like each other ..if yah know what i mean? I may want to pick yer brain from time to time if you don't mind? my cat isnt much help when i bounce ideas off her.
