New Grower The brewery does it doggystyle

Hello everyone!
I have been lurking long enough so I figured I'd go ahead and do atleast one journal. Shout out to @Starbreaker for the encouragement to do one. Also, I wanna give a shout out to @hotbuns @derek420colorado and @greenjeans, plus anyone else for any tidbits of info I have picked up along the way.. last but not least a special shout out to my fiance. She helps alot and it would kinda suck to do this completely solo. We have since developed our own method of doing things that makes it all go fairly smooth... I started out with soil but have since taken the dwc plunge, and haven't looked back. This will technically be my 4th run:

My aresnal:
x2- 3.5 gallon dwc buckets with rhizocore lids
x1- O2 Commercial Air Pump, 571 gph 2.47 psi
GH nute line
Silica Blast
HydroGuard
Calmag
PH down and up
x2 @platinum p300's
x1 400 watt Mars
x2 300 watt Mars

I just started a chemdogging from @mephisto. She showed herself to the world on August 24th:

She officially has formed her 1st set of leaves as of the morning of august 25th:

And one more as of yesterday afternoon:

I have started the bucket out with pH tap water til she hits the reservoir, then I'll switch to r/o after that. I don't really give a damn about the temps, which to me have topped out at 80° at the highest, but usually remain in the 75-78° range with absolutely no problems. I should also add that I don't change my reservoir, but only 2-3 times, unless there's a problem that I can't easily correct on the fly.

Here's some quick pics of the @FastBuds tangiematic that should be done in a couple weeks give or take:

After that I'll throw in stardawg to join the party, as I am trying to keep things perpetual.

I will update as much as I can, or atleast once a week or so.. [emoji41] thanks for stopping by

Welcome and good luck with this season. Have you ever tried to see how cold you could make your rez? I have known people who buy chillers just for this system. They keep their temps in the mid 60's. I run promix so I'm speculating, but there has to be a reason so many hydro growers ensure these lower temps.

Thank you. Yes, originally for my 1st ever trial run,I picked up a waterfarm and a chiller, plus was using dutchmaster. Personally, I didn't like how the waterfarm was set up. After doing more research and reading some journals on here, i invested in a different style of bucket as well as picked up the hydroguard(which is a beneficial bacteria). The lower temperature is basically to prevent pythium from growing onto the roots. There is also a certain temperature zone where the roots get the most oxygen. With hydroguard I have not had any problem at all, and have not had to worry over temperature much if at all... I do prefer to have my temp stay in the low to mid 70s if I can help it, but with the summer months that were here it crept up into 80 on a couple occasions.

Oh man, absolutely. blazes of hell this summer, I commend folks for working through it. DWC is one of the highest yielding systems so the reward is substantial.

Beautiful set up you got there. Looks like you are comfortable and have it dialed in.

The two of you can be proud. I looked up that word you used "pythium" on Wikipedia.............. you are aiding in my quest for constant learning ........

Keep up the lessons, I need all the help I can get here on the great AFN.

Thanks man. I like this way better than my tent for sure. The more time goes by the more I am getting into a groove. Always glad to help if and when I can. Thanks for the sub and welcome to the party [emoji482]

Are you using "Root Riots"?
