are you going organic or what? I use organic so I have no choice but to run dwc. And frankly i love it.. I even added a drip system to my dwc and I didnt like it. I took it out. It made my roots slimey for some reason. It think all the organic debries were getting stuck in to roots when i was using drip.

Man u need to black those out. Its not just alge but its also the roots. plants dont like light to the roots. Honestly I would ditch those and use them for something else storage... Get your self a rubermaid storage tote with a lid. 3 gal for every plant(ex. i run 5 plants and i have a 15gal + rez). Also if you can find storage boxes that are water tight light tight and are made from recycled plastic.. thats even better.

sorry its hard to make it out in the pix. But I see you are growing in a black tub. so yea thats fine. It looks good. should work fine. maybe hydroton or you could use perlite. You might need a expensive timer for rockwool i dont think you want to watter rock wool too long. But im no expert on rock wool.

your right zealious ive been growing with rockwool for a long time if you do a dripper in it you put the timer on for 15 mins out of evey hour ,to let oxygen into the root zone :) over here segmental timers are very inexpensive dont know about the U.S tho. looks good kanye keep up the good work:rasta:

good job man!!!

I like the way you set it up. I like how big the pipes are and everything. no worries about clogs.

Thanks Im glad you like it. This is my flower unit. My veg unit is similar design but smaller.. and its made out of recycled plastic.

my cloner\



And this is my first hydro venture.. But Growth has def been rapid to the point where I might end up being a soil convert.. But we shall see how organics go with hydro.

Keep up the good work homie. You are on the right path. You could paint it if you want it dark.. just lightly sand it and use some cheap paint. light coats.

yea i was wondering y the tape was on the fan also

hmm cant think of anything logical it could do for the room/plants

as long as it good tho, im all for it!!

keep em coming yaw

LOL, i have finally got the parts for a drip system, and this time im really gonna go threw with it i swear

so ill have pics to post in my own lets see those hydro set ups post

whoo hooo

might even post 1 tonight if i dont fall asleep before im done

keep em coming guys.... peace!!!

the tape cuts down the turbulence which apparently is strong enough to blow over my plants! The tape does reduce the effect to a manageable breeze.

thats a sweet set up nuka , i take it your waters quite hard with the RO filter that must have cost a pretty penny ps why's the tape a around your fan ,jus wondering :smoke:

No, my water is actually only 80ppm x .7 from the tap.

I believe that absolute 0ppm water is the basis for success. I know every nutrient in the water when i mix, i never have "grow issues" since everything is controlled 100% in my tent.

damn thanks man, thats a good idea, never thought of painting it. might have to try that out if i have probs with algae

Dont u dare go to dirt man, if u do u will have alot less yield for sure i can promise u that from expierence

if ur talking about going to dirt for ur moms only i wouldnt blame u but for ur flowers, now way dude

u got a real nice lil set up there man looks real nice and clean, looks like ur first go around with hydro was nice, real crystally

here is my setup:
it is a grow setup only for personal use (and i give some away to friends)

here is my version of the "Cloud 9 cabinet"

the veg box:
IMG_3166.jpg

currently vegging under:
~150w CFL -- (5) 5700k, (1) 2700k in a homemade reflector
simple desk fan for circulation
2 PC fans to pull heat out
simple DWC using fox farm nutes
random thermometers

vegging a california blue hash. this is pure indica, look at these leaves after ~ 3 weeks
IMG_3165.jpg



here is my flowering box:
IMG_3168.jpg

mainly the same as the veg box (K.I.S.S)
pc fans to pull the heat out
a desk fan for circulation
2 pc fans for under the scrog screen
1in pvc scrog screen using screws and fishing line
simple dwc in a mid sized rubber maid tub
gifted seeds (unknown strain, but seems to be mainly indica
pumps rest on top of the scrog screen

if you want any more pics of specific things just let me know
:)


wow nice clean grow, beautiful fan leafs for sure

looks 100% indica, lol original

never understood the scrog screens i scrog ed a planr before and i havent needed them does it just give the heavy buds some thing to rest on so they dont fall over and break or something

did u build that screen its very nice

id love to see what kinda yield u get from the system

is that a bubble system or like a aeroponics set up??

i like ur version, never seen the cloud 9 cab but i bet u give them a run for there money!!!

wow, i could have that type of control also, but fuck i got a high enough electric bill i dont wanna run my water bill up to running damn water all the time to fill up my 5 gallon jugs and i sure in the hell aint gonna be toating the jugs in and out of walmart getting there ro water, lol

but i feel u tho its is total control, not a bad idea at all

but if u go organic i dont think u need all that!!!

organics control the ph for u depending on the set up u have that is!!!
