I still need to do some small work around the grow area. (1 or 2 days now)
We won't start the seeds till area is ready, I don't like to work above my plants.
We did ok in the dirt, I hope we do good in water.
Well this is what we have to work with this time, dwc seemed like a good way to go for us.
I had planned on going with the 24 hr in water in the dark then the paper towel thing for germination and then to Hydroton with ReadyGro Super Plugs
(Sponge like material, made of composted tree bark and organic materials).
Please look it over and let us know what you think, or something we missed or doing wrong.
The number of lights used depends on room temp, I have something like 12 extra 42w cfl's.

GROW ROOM
DWC-1, 4 - 5gal buckets with 10” net baskets, 18gal res and controller box.
Lights : 1-62w CFL 8-42w CFL’s
DWC-2, 4 - 3gal buckets with 6” net baskets, 5gal res and controller box.
Lights : 130w XtremeLED & 6-42w CFL’s
DWC-1 buckets are inside the grow tent.
DWC-2 is in the veg/autoflowering area(closet) with the DWC-1 res.
The 2.7’X2.7’X5.11’ (3.5' vert grow space) GL80 grow tent sets at the foot of my bed and vents to closet.
The grow tent is the only place I can keep dark for 12 hours.
The tent has 2-6” in-line vent fans.(1 in/1 out)
The room is vented to crawl space above the closet with an 8” in-line vent fan, heat is a problem as the grow is cooled by house a/c, but it should be ok this time of year.(it's only in the high 80's now)
I use the closet for veg/autoflowering.
Air stones in all water and fans all over the place
2-5gal tubs to remove the chlorine from the tap water.
2 CO2 bags.
2 humidifiers
We also have chives and pepperment growing in soil in both areas.
