Welcome aboard diverdave! Dwc will definitely outyeild aero per plant yield, but I've got a feeling the aero table will crush the dwc yield as the canopy is much fuller with the table. I'm curious if there will be any potency differences between dwc and aero with the cuts. Speaking of which, here are the results of the testing that was done on the aero plants last run:

Hulk smash #1: 17.37 thc and .06 cbd
Hulk smash #10: 25.38 thc and .08 cbd
Orange glue #1: 21.98 thc and .06 cbd
Orange glue #2: 22.68 thc and .06 cbd
Orange glue #6 23.53 thc and. 07 cbd

It will be very interresting to see if there is, tho I don't think there will be much difference in the potency. Unless there is some kinda fail, with one of the systems during flower.

The end of week 1 of bloom. They are stretching their legs and are reasonably happy. Some of the shorter plants in the aero table are below the canopy. The ones below will either catch up or get cut down if I don't see a good reason to keep them. Dwc side is still chugging along. Orange glue #2 in dwc seems to mean business! I'm hoping for some better bud density with it this time. Here's how they are looking now.

Welcome to the garden RanchoRelaxo! Second time growing with aero is going a lot smoother than the first time with aero ha ha.

The aero table got another round of topping. They are stretching quite nicely. 900ppm is their preferred feeding strength right now. Just goes to show happy plants wanna eat more.
So this round I included a few hulk smash #4. She hermied on me early in flower last time and got culled. I'm pretty sure it was triggered by stress. So far she is quite happy and showing no signs of stress or male parts. I want to see what she does. If not very impressive, she will get culled for good.

Operators notes: root mass in aero table is getting thick enough to slow the drainage of water from the table. The off cycle of the sprayer pump has been increased. This is to allow time for drainage and a bit of air time for the roots. Off cycle set to 15 minutes. We shall see how plants respond.

Random shit to note: the wire mesh I got for trellising is getting repurposed for goat fencing. My better half decided now is the time to get goats, so I got volunteered to build enclosure and told to use my new roll of fencing to do it. It's funny how things work out sometimes

End of week 2 of bloom! Plants are starting to build buds. Stretch is starting to slow down in the aero table finally. Most of the girls are around 3 feet tall. I will be defoaliating and removing lower branches later this week. Both sides of the tent are happy and healthy. No deficiencies, and just a hint of nute burn on a couple of the more sensitive girls. This is shaping up to be a pretty good side by side comparison of grow methods as both sides of the tent are strutting their stuff! Here is how everything is looking as of yesterday.

Thanks! Picking a style of growing can be a pain in the ass. I'll help answer questions ya got, with respect to what experience I have. My advice is give dwc a try as it's reasonably forgiving and will let ya get your feet wet with hydro without costing you a bunch of money or time getting set up.
