Hey everybody:tiphat:I'm giving DWC a whirl and would like some critique/help on my setup. It's my first go at DWC (second grow overall) and it all seems a tad daunting but I'm gonna do my best. Anyway, here's my setup;
Feel free to give me some pointers if I need any. I'm running it for a day or two before I germ the seeds so I can monitor temps and stuff, water temp is at 71f, RH is 60% (I expect this to up slightly though), tent temp is 70f (again, expecting this to rise slightly). I'm gonna be using Hesi nutes. Got an E.C meter that should be here tomorrow along with a tube heater and root riot cubes.
Right a few questions I need answering. 1) When doing a res change, do you add any warm water? Or just let it do it's thing and adjust to the ambient temperature?
2) What is the process with germinating the seeds? Before Iv just soaked them in water until they sink, then potted them. Do I do the same but instead of potting them, put them in the root cubes until I see roots then put them in the clay pebbles?
3) Lastly, does the same 'first 2 weeks no nutes' rule still apply with DWC? Iv read conflicting things about what to give autos. I presume some root stimulant is needed but when would I add this? While it's rooting in the cube? Or when I put it in the basket with the clay pebbles?
Oh ye I almost forgot, these are what I'm gonna be dropping in the bucket
Happy days!
Edit* forgot to say that yes, that is an old pc tower that my water pump is sitting on*
