first hydro go :)

well im definitelygoing with the dwc method. got a few questions that i cant really find definitive answers to so i'll ask em here and make it a lil easier lol:

1. where can i get rapid rooters?
2. can i do a dwc in a large rubbermaid tub?
2b. how many plants should i do max in one large tub?(size to be determined once i purchase it after knowing if it will work in a different container)
3. how many lights will i need? and wattage?
4. how do you determine what you want/need for lighting times?
5. any words on pruning?(yikes!)
6. how long does it take til determining male/female?
7. how hard is cloning? how long can you clone from one female?
8. whats the best nutrient product?

i'll just use this thread to get my questions answered in the near future too...happy smokes to everyone :smokebong:

I get Rapid Rooters at hydro store. If you don't have one near by, you can get them at hydroempire.com for $12 bag of 50.

I'll let someone else answer dwc questions

What is the size of the grow area? That will determine light requirements.
Lighting is 18on/6off (some do 24/0) for seedling & veg, going to 12/12 for flowering.

Pruning can wait a few weeks

Some strains will show sex preflowers within a few days of topping them which I do at approx. 3 weeks. Otherwise, within a few days to a week or so after switching to 12/12

Cloning isn't too difficult - 90%+ success from the first time I ever tried so anyone can do it.

Everyone has their own idea of the best nutrients. Read the threads - there is an incredible amount of knowledge & shared experience right here at your fingertips...everything you need is all here

Go with General hydroponics for a start on nutes. You will need cal-mag plus for sure.

Stay away from rubbermaid , it degrades in the light.

DWC, 5 gallon bucket. You can get 8 to 10 inch net pot lids that fit the buckets. Plenty of hydrotron rock. A big air pump and lots of air stones.

pretty much all you asked has been answered a 100 times but keep asking.

Say, how many 100 are we going for. LOL

how many 5 gal buckets can one pump run?

and where can i find a timetable on when to do what during the growing process?

what size pump should i get? and answers to previous questions :(

per 5 gal. bucket 2x6in. air stones. pump i think should be rated to airate twice as much volume

i got pump rated for 30-60 gallons, and i wanna run 4 5 gal buckets, will tht be enough?

and how exactly does the nutrient adding work? :( like a breakdown completely if possible :sadcrying:

will a 30-60 gal airpump be able to run 8 airstones in 4 5gal buckets efficiently?

how long will the gh flora quart package last? and the gallon package?

what kind of light fixtures are recommended? or what ways can they be rigged up best? and will 4x100w cfl's be good?

You should change the nutrient solution once a week even if your topping it off in between.This thread should help you with your nutrient questions.
