thanks man, have had good luck so far apparently with seeds lol

im not sure if these were feminized or not, guessing not, now?

because out of the 2 he sent, only one was labeled "regular seeds"


gonna try DWC again, love water, "cleaner", more efficient, my first time was baller just didnt get to finish because i was away.

dont have airstones/air pump in there for extra oxygenation right now though, just water pumps.

have to get new air pump


a kitty liter pales, holds around 4-6 gallons of water im guessing. prob have 3-4gal in there right now though

see how long it takes to sprout and get a tap root down in the water, not optimal environment though, (warmth)


maybe i can chop the rest of the plants soon and reset tent

the first ones i started, i neglected, but can chop em soon, planning/hoping on doing a good run with @dragonsflamegenetics seeds(under a quickly/roughly thrown together "DWC Syst" to show off for him, and see what these do under proper care.

thinking this pale will hold a little more water so the water pump shouldnt heat it up as much

Yeah they're regular seed as far as I know, Jeff doesn't make many fems, but either way it should be fire once you get a female

I have a female going from DFG called purple dragon rider, sativa leaning gal. Had to bend her over using a yo-yo 2 days ago,ha. cheers

You been busy lately? Haven’t seen you around as much. Hope all is good.

Yes and no, coasting, taking care of the family and life things, lack of motivation to do much, need to stop being lazy too.

slowly harvesting plants and resetting the 5x5 currently.

Hope all is good.

thanks man, appreciate you asking.

Anyone had one of these?

Anyone had one of these?

My FIL gets them he says they're good. Idk if he's had the caramel one tho
He says the 6 pieces is "I am now a mushroom" quote is true, but he doesn't eat them often.

have to get new air pump

I've got a noisy ass pump I can send you, but, if you've got an extra $120 bucks laying around, grab an Alita pump. Super fuckin' quiet. I LOVE IT. sometimes I gotta put a hand on it to see if it's even running.

I trust your reviews to be spot on. Alita air pumps is what I'll look at first whenever I setup a DWC.

Alitas are the best....

Alita Air Pumps

Alita air pumps are very quiet and dependable. The Alita pumps come in a range of sizes that can drive 6 outlets or over 200 outlets. Alita pumps are excellent for fish rooms and are very easily rebuilt.

So what is the best way to size your pump to the RDWC system you set up?

So what is the best way to size your pump to the RDWC system you set up?

• Calculate System Volume: Determine the total volume of your hydroponic system, including the reservoir and all connected grow beds or containers. Measure the length, width, and depth of each container, then multiply these dimensions to get the volume. Add up the volumes of all containers to get the total system volume.

• Determine Flow Rate: Decide on the desired flow rate for your system. This can vary depending on factors such as the type of plants you're growing, environmental conditions, and nutrient requirements. A general rule of thumb is to aim for a flow rate that allows the nutrient solution to cycle through the system several times per hour. For example, 2-4 complete cycles per hour is common.

• Calculate Pump Capacity: Once you have the system volume and desired flow rate, you can calculate the pump capacity needed. The formula is:
  Pump Capacity (in gallons per hour, GPH) = Total System Volume (in gallons) × Desired Flow Rate (cycles per hour)
  For example, if your total system volume is 100 gallons and you want to achieve 4 complete cycles per hour, your pump capacity should be:
  Pump Capacity = 100 gallons × 4 cycles/hour = 400 GPH

• Consider Head Height: Head height refers to the vertical distance the pump must push the water from the reservoir to the highest point in the system. If your system has vertical components or the pump needs to push water uphill, you'll need to account for this when selecting the pump. Choose a pump that can deliver the required flow rate at the highest head height in your system.

• Turnover Rate: Cannabis generally thrives with a higher turnover rate than some other plants. Aim for 3-4 complete turnovers per hour.

• Flow Rate per Plant: A good rule of thumb is 50-100 gallons per hour (GPH) per mature cannabis plant. So, a 4-plant RDWC system might target a pump rated for 200-400 GPH.

• Vegetative vs. Flowering: During flowering, cannabis requires more oxygen. You might consider a slightly higher flow rate during this stage.

i think moe mentioned up to 10 cycles per hour/ DWC.

larger plants, higher flow rates, more beneficial for cycling nutes through the root system when packing on the mass.

CAll Hanz and Franz they'll help pump you up.

So what is the best way to size your pump to the RDWC system you set up?

I bought a DC pump with a digital speed control just in case I wanted more or less. I run it on it's lowest setting until stop adding Agsil to the system. The ph doesn't stay nearly as stable once that's removed from the equation so I up the flow rate to mix the ph-up into the res a little quicker. Early on in the plants life cycle, I worry about hitting the roots with too much flow.

Here's the pump I use. It's ran 24/7 for pretty much 2 years straight, only shutting down when the tent becomes my drying room.

The smallest Alita will work for you all. 6A
If you are so inclined the 15A will never leave anyone short.
I ran about 15-20 fish tanks with the 15A each having 3-4 airstones in them.

Some of the best I've grown so far probably

Still working with a select batch of seeds and going to the next generation

Real nice haul for you also~!

Real nice haul for you also~!

Indeed, thank you.

Proud of this run

Got a bunch of seeds between all of the plants too, few here and there added up quick.

I'll be dropping those next and see what they do, work out the gene pool, keep selecting "winners" and discard the "losers"

And see if I can start getting a stable bunch of winners down the line.
