Good day fellow growers/stoners. I would like to introduce my newest girl :) She is a Crown Royale strain from Crop King Seeds. It took two tries with two seed to get one to germinate. The first seed after 5 days it didnt look like it would ever sprout so added a second seed to the paper towel. Next morning the second seed was already sprouted and about 12 hours later she had a very nice tap root growing. I planted this into some rockwool and placed it in a propagator. A day or so later she was pushing for the light. Two days and her leaves was in the plastic dome and roots coming out of the bottom of the rockwool. This is my first hydro grow. Im always looking to get the most out of any grow and one day I will get close to what the seed company claims they will produce! After lots and lots of reading I decided to give the DWC setup a try. Seems the easiest and simplest. Should be a good learning experience. I picked up the DWC bubbler kit off of Amazon for around $80. Comes with everything needed to get going except covers for the holes you wont be using. It says it is 8 gallons in size but once filled it will only take 6 gallons to get the level right at the bottom of the cages that holds the medium. I would reccomend the setup. Been looking forward to trying hydro growing for a while. This is gonna be a fun grow :)

As a RDWC grower myself, I would highly recommend adding a chiller to your setup. Root issues, in my opinion, are the only downside of growing in DWC or RDWC, but adding a chiller and some Recharge (bubbled first with an air stone for 24 hrs before adding to your res), and you will never need to worry about those roots. It is not impossible to be successful without a chiller, however, the ability to keep the root zone at 68° has had a major impact on my garden. At 68° H2O has the ability to hold much more oxygen than at 75° to 77°. That extra oxygen in the solution makes a world of difference. My 1st run in RDWC I battled high res temps and root rot as well, but since adding the chiller and some recharge to my reservoir I have not seen even a hint of root rot in the last 3 years... Best of luck with this grow!!!

@chopdoc,that sounds awesome. You should document it and post it for people looking for cheap or homemade equipment options.

@MagicMikesMeds, Thats it. You would have 100 ft of regular garden water hose coiled up in the cooler so the liguid has plenty of time to circulate thru the fridge and cool down before going back to the reservoir. The doors has nothing electrical in it so they are safe to drill thru to run the hoses thru. The video I was watching was for an aguarium cooler and they guy said it would treat a 55 gal aquarium easily with a 1.7 cu ft fridge. No reason it cant do the same for a hydroponics set up.

@chopdoc,that sounds like a pretty neat idea. I met someone last year that had “jerry-rigged” a Poland Springs office water bubbler to work as a water chiller. I like the idea that you are thinking about. So basically the water would flow through the cooled hose in the refrigerator and then pumped into the garden? Is that right?

@DKBJJ, I am trying a growing technique called fluxing and am expecting a full pound from one seed with the same 600 watt light. Flipped it into flowering yesterday with around 60 cola sites on her. Have a second grow using fluxing technique I started a couple weeks ago and that diary is here on this site if you wish to check in on it. Its the Purple Kush fluxing grow I have going on now.

Girls look really good! You could defoliate slightly on top to give smaller buds a chance these last weeks. (Plants lose leafs near end of their life) good luck bro!!
