After some long talks and lots of research I finally set up and started running a single DWC bucket system for vegging 1 mother plant for cloning. Long story short i think building one on you’re own, is cheaper and you can get better quality components, than already made small systems. Still learning new things along the way though. One very important lesson I’ve learnt that every new DWC grower should have is: pH/ppm/temperature testers. Having the right PH/ppm/temperature in you’re solution is crucial for successful grows. The biggest challenge Im having and come across with is keeping the nutrient solution temperature down below 71*F when the lights are on and keeping and maintaining a PH @ 5.8. I’ve started pre mixing my solution 72hrs before a reservoir change letting the nutrients and ph balance out and stabilize before changing.
as far as set up goes I’m using a Agrobrite flp28 light for veg and a TMLAPY 1000-f01 light for flower in a 4’x2’x5’tent, 2 inline 4” Vivosun duct fans with speed remotes and 1 carbon filter, timers,clip on fan, DWC 5 gal bucket with top drip. I also used a sun blaster nano dome with t5 and a heat mat with a heat mat controller For germination and pre veg in Rockwool cubes. For nutes im using iguna juice grow (advance nutrients), indo max nutrients, and great white.
right now 1/1/2021 I’m on day 14 from seed and I’m growing 1 frosted fruitcake/starfighter (1 seed of each and I accidentally mixed up with only 1 sprouted).
any info or suggestions/advice please feel free to comment. I will be posting weekly updates of my grow!
