Re: Big Bud#2 hydro DWC 600watt hps grow

Thanks and I'm glad to have you guys along for the ride.

JASPL all my indoor grows have been hydro, imo its the way to go. I started with a flood and drain system but wasn't getting the results I was hoping for then did some research on DWC and liked what I read. One of the only disadvantages to DWC is the early plant growth until the roots reach the water. My solution to this was to incorporate a top feed system for the early growth and i continue with it for irrigation and stuff. This DWC setup is giving me the results I wanted.

I'll get some pics of my setup up soon.

That Big Bud is an awesome strain. Great genetics and fun to grow. I've done a couple scrog grows with it in the past, did pretty well. Tops for days..... Anyway the girls are looking awesome, you got your nutes down for sure. Can't wait to see what these ladies produce :thumb:
 
Re: Big Bud#2 hydro DWC 600watt hps grow

Thank Sphnx, I got 5 of them free with my order from herbies and only got 1 female, I'm glad I cloned her as she and her clones have done really well. Here are some harvest pics from my last big bud#2 grow that is 1 plant hanging and yielded 155gram dried and cured...
