Hello all
I decided to go ahead and make one of my extra 18 gallon rubbermaids into a 2 plant DWC grow, and I figured I would share it with ya'll. (Extra special thanks to Deft for giving me the idea for this as well as the motivation)
I cut holes for (2) 5 inch net pots (5.5 inches or something I think) in the lid of a (dark blue) 18 gallon rubbermaid container. Also purchased a GH dual diaphram pump to run the air (its a 4 outlet pump, which for right now Im just gonna use 2 outlets). I decided to go a little cheaper this time and use airstones instead of an air diffuser ( I picked up 2 10 inch long skinny ones for $2.00 apiece)
Im am going to use 2 W/W clones (I cloned them on december 11, 2008 and put them in an EZ cloner, so they have so super nice roots by now).
Anyways I immediately broke one of the airstones (And am currently trying to silicone it back to working order) so I am only running one airstone on the 4 outlet pump right now. But Im getting some serious bubble action.
Oh yeah...Just to let ya'll know I am using the lucas method (0-5-10) for veg (and bloom) with 650 ppm and 5.7ph (I know the ppms are a little high but I have been running these mature clones in the cloner with like 400 ppm for about a week)
Here are the pics as of 12/30/2008. So its been going a couple of days now.
So these pics are from 12/30/2008
Ill get some updates for ya'll soon
