Love buckets hate the tinny net pots. Any chance I can convince you to go to 10" net pots before you put babies into those Dixie cups? All life is proportional and you can't have a shark in a goldfish bowl, and you can't get a tree trunk in a Dixie cup.

Wow thanks for taking the time to stop by and check my grow out.

Yes stussy lots of DO,I mean its sorta the name of the game in rdwc right?


Hey HS nice to have ya,what you see is budget in action,if I could afford it I'd get the 8-10" lids and more hydroton but I'm broke so this is the rout I have to go.

I hear you man; however my thought is this:

4 10" net pots $20
1 50L bag Hydroton $35
Sales TAX $05
-----------------------
Grand Total $60

I really think that the $60 investment will mean at least an extra OZ per plant, quite possibly 4oz more per plant depending. It really could be a one Lb difference with the bigger net pots.

i hear ya HS but i really dont have $60 lol nor do i have that crap "sales tax".

and where i am, shops try to pinch everybody so those particular net pots are $7-$8 depending on which shop in town you go to and only one shop carry 50L bags and they charge $50 for just that.

I still need stuff for the room it self too like another 1k ballast,4k light controller and a couple other things.

hey yall,did some modifying on the rdwc today.

i drained it pulled the rez off and looped in the chiller,i had to put another 3/4" bulkhead fitting with barbed on both ends,i got 2 1/2" to 3/4" elbows one goes 1/2" from the pump 3/4" to the barbed on the inside of the rez the other goes 3/4" from the chiller to the 1/2" feed line.

i refilled the system with roughly 23-24gallons and its been runnin tits. i just wish my clones would root already,theyre not lookin so good as of yesterday they all curled and no visible signs of roots and its been almost a week,if the lvpk dont make it then i might have to run something else in there which i really dont wana do but we'll see.

So say if the lvpk dont make it what should i grow in the rdwc?

i have that mystry kush strain i grew last time,i also have sourband,chemdog kush,trainwreck,and i might be getting some of rez chemdog IBL from a homie i may beable to get 4 from himbut still not sure.
