should I go back to DWC growing? I am thinking of starting a new dwc soon.

the reason I ask is cuz I am now sucking at soil growing.

I have grown dwc micro 4 time over the past 12 years. also grown in soil a lot too but these days my plants won't live past 4-5 weeks in veg cycle.

I cant even make it to flowering cycle in soil that much any more.

here r some pix of my past DWC grows. more pix next.

here r the last pix.

I am thing I should really get back into the DWC game.
The reason I got out of the dwc game is because i was having lots of plant growth problems.
so I tryed soil agen and had good success with the first few grows but now I cant keep em alive long enough to flower them.

So should I try DWC agen? in the last pic that is only the sativa harvest couldn't fin a pic of the indica harvest. but I had a lot of bud that time.

You might want to look into Hempy Buckets as an alternative to DWC.

I have seen DWC growth rates and production with Hempy Buckets, no really, with my own eyes.

Just a suggestion.

The direct answer to your question, yes if I were you I would make a change in methods, go to 'ponics instead of soil if you fit hydro better as a gardener.

Shane! Come back Shane. Mother loves you.

Short of an outdoor grow where you toss seeds out the window and come back in six months, I can't imagine an easier, less troublesome, hands off method than DWC. No burns, no deficiencies, no bugs. 10 minutes twice a month and I'm done.

Here's my DWC res at 88ºF (lost a couple of º fumbling with camera). No chiller, no ice bottles, no algae, no rot, no slime, no worries.



What's not to love?

DWC rocks - major growth, minor work...

I've done a few, and I'd never go back to dirt again.

Can you say rockwool?

I used to like soil. Not real sure soil liked me,, but we did ok.

Last april - I started my first rockwool grow - using PBP nutes and e&f. It has not only passed everything in dirt - the rockwool has a massive return advantage.

I did dwc once too --


once.

You need to figure out what you are doing wrong if you had trouble with hydro and soil both.
