Grow Mediums Eleventysix's First attemp at DWC

[kkeniff]

i think youll have to scale down tangs feed though- its takes a lot less to feed in dwc than in soil.

ya this is the opposite like said above..i can push ppms way higher in water

 

[kkeniff]

What size pumps you using? cause this is truly one of the deciding factors on an ok run or something amazing in dwc..this is how u can amp up those ppm numbers

Good to know dude maybe i need to check over my old soil journals again incase ive got that wrong!
Either way great thing about hydro is all you have to do is check ec/ppm and you see if the plant needs more or less without having to wait and see tip burn or yellowing.
+1 on extra air in the buckets

My max on nutes is like 1100veg,1440flip.then usualy i back off in flower(roughly wk 6)and start pulling it back to 900.idk.wrks for me...i use 60gal pump in a gal of nutes to root.lmfao.i kno sounds extreme right?and once there in the final 18gal totes i finish in i use 300gal pump(4 outlet) and my 18gal tote only holds 4gals of nutes cause my roots get hefty quick..but i never hav issues

@kkeniff you got a journal dude? Could pick your brain on a few things Dont wanna clutter eleventys thread any more lol

 

[kkeniff]

No but ill start one..in yur right,my bad eleventy..

 

[eleventysix]

oh wow I see you two have gotten into quite the discussion haha.. well the pump I use is a dual outlet cheap wal mart air pump which supposedly runs 1.4 lpm... so if theres 60 mins in an hour, and each outlet runs 1.4 liters per minute that would be 84 lph and I am running 2 air stones from each outlet in the same bucket.. which I would assume would what 168 lph?? My math could be wrong but that's what I'm coming up with. I know most people say that 30lph is easily enough.. If I'm right I do believe I'm putting quite a bit of oxygen in the water. I haven't read if too much is a problem or not but I would assume not.. as far as a root stimulator, I will be running Voodoo juice but I haven't received any yet but as soon as I get it I will be starting it with the sensi grow ph perfect along with some B52 ..

Hey @eleventysix was just talking to dcat he grows dwc using tangs schedule too.
He had a monster grow a while back yeilded over a pound dry and he said even that plant only went to around 2/3 strength of tangs schedule

 

[dcat0921]

Yep I followed his easy feed schedule and added Mammoth P and humboldt golden tree...never went full strength and she filled a 4x4 tent wall to wall.
I think it was mostly luck and genetics but this is what I got...

And she was only my second attempt at DWC...
And yes she was an auto... SODK X Fantasmo from @mephisto

@dcat0921 @sanguine This is good to know I was going over his schedule last night .. Dcat did you end up using the sensizym also? I have to say that is a monsterous lady you grew out .. absolutely incredible!!! I wonder if I could go full strength since I'm not growing an auto and usually you can go a little heavier on feed with the photos.. I know the few photos I've grown out always liked more feed ...
