Got the clear plastic tubing, enough for the liquid level and also for a siphon pump for draining the nutrients.


Got a better air pump, the one supplied with the DWC kit was only 2L/m and the air stone was only 6cm across, the pump I got does 200L/m and is the quietest one.


Got the scrog net installed.


Got some growth nutes and some cal/mag, some ph up and down and some ph calibration fluid.



Put a seed in a baggy with some moist paper towel.

Almost forgot, getting the following air stone for the DWC, it's 21cm in diameter so will fill the reservoir with more bubbles, the seller accepted my offer of $19.

Thanks 420bears.


Got the air stone, it's massive, it should aerate all the roots to the max, it has an 8mm connection on it.


Took the air pump back as it only had a 4mm connection and I need an 8mm connection for the air stone, got the following air pump from ebay;

Got the air pump today, it's nice and powerful yet quiet and provides plenty of air for the air stone, the whole root zone will be aerated, gonna have to glue the air stone down as it floats even without air going through it.


Just waiting for the seed to pop up from the growwool block.

I run my 70 x 70 x 160 tent off of a 65w LED Quantum board. (Samsung LM301b diodes).

Purchased this light for ZAR1400 ( 136 Australian Dollars).

400w worth of quantum board would have cost you around 850 AUD.

Im sure its a good light but rather expensive.

Keen to see the results though.

Thanks CoCo_LoCo, those are some nice plants in your signature.


Glued down the air stone and added an elbow to stop the air line from kinking.


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I just got a great deal on 5L of Cyco Zyme for $96 delivered, it's an enzyme additive that converts complex sugars into simple sugars for the plants to uptake and also breaks down dead organic material such as roots into nutrients.[/FONT]

Here is a test video of the air stone in action, the entire root zone will be aerated.

Yay a seed finally germinated.

Seedling is a Bruce Banner, the highest THC of any plant at 32%.

Bought 2 20W LED batten fix lights today, cost $100 but it will do for the seedling instead of the 420W LED grow light, should save $3 per day in electricity so it will pay for itself over the next 33 days.
Got them sitting on the scrog net a few inches from the plant.

Thanks CoCo_LoCo, it's cost me $2500 so far with another $350 to be spent on a Bluelab ph pen and a ph stabilizer gadget.


Here is the weekly update pic

She's grown quite a bit, loving the LED lights, I'm giving her grow nutes at 1/10 strength with cal/mag at full strength (can only measure down to 1ml with my syringe) and ph'ed to about 5.5-5.8 (meter is dodgey), using a spray bottle every second day.

Moved her into the DWC today, the pump doesn't work so I will have to water it each day until I get a replacement.
