Updated nightime pictures.



Total of 15 gallons of nutrient solution.
currently running......
1.1 ml/gal Roots excelerator
10 ml/gal Aqau flakes a+b(adding 11 ml of a, and then 11 ml of b after)
2 ml/gal Cal mag+
2 ml/gal AN Big Bud
5 ml/gal Big bloom
1 ml/gal Purple maxx
2.5ml/gal Humbolt Hydro Carbs(basically mollases)
2.5ml/gal GH silica blast

I let it sit for 20 mintues and the PH is PERFECT at around 5.8-6.2. NO PH UP, NO PH DOWN. I fucking love it. When i use fox farms tiger bloom my ph is around 5 before i use PH up.

I check PH daily and also add around 2 gallons of water daily to replenish the res. Ever week i add 3 teaspoon's of "Great White" to replace my bene's just incase they die off somehow. Growth is really starting to blow up and buds are starting to pop up everywhere.


Also did some pruning of the fan leaves to open up the canopy a little and allow better penetration. I have a tendancy to really jam them in this closet so pruning is needed, it just a jungle after a while.

I would love to add C02 into the closet but I also NEED to cool my lights and ventilate the smell.
With my fans on during the daytime, all of my C02 would be sucked right out. Anyone have a Suggestion?

hahaha yea no doubt. I love studying hydroponics but my heart and soul lie in the all organic backwoods of washington state. Im a indoor gardener by neccessity, but an outdoor gardener by choice:) Next summer im going to try some outdoor hydroponic plants in my greenhouse. Combining my two favorite methods of growing. Sounds like a treat.

Well if you introduce co2 you can let it get hotter in there. You can have the hood draw air from outside of the tent for cooling as well.

Cant you flood with co2 then after awhile exhaust for fresh air then flood again and repeat? Ive never used co2 so I might be wrong.

If your closet is in an area with people living then forget it it's too dangerous. A co2 leak can kill people and pets. Other than that.

Raise temps to 95 degrees and flood the room with 1500 ppm's co2 for about 4 hours. Completely flush room with fresh air. Fill with co2 again. This does not need to be done during dark period just flush with fresh air.
This may finish you up one week early.

yea Its my bedroom closet so i might have to rule out co2 until i have a bigger grow space. My dogs like to sleep in my room so i dont wanna come home to a bunch of stiffs.

getting purdy in there!

real purdy :thumbsup: yum yum yum. i might have to give this a shot in my closet. dwc systems seem like a fun experiment :rastasmoke: t5 and hps good little combo man

These are Actually not DWC, but of a Ebb and Flow system that I created. The plants are in Rockwoll that sits on top of Hydroton in 2 seperate trays. 3 plants per tray. I flood them 5 times a day, every hour and a half.

Ive done DWC before but changing Buckets was a pain in the ass in late flower. This new system is easier to maintain and is totally automated with timers and pumps. PH and PPM's stay more stable also.


DWC is a great way for soil growers to experiment with hydroponics. The idea of of a five gallon bucket with an airstone at the bottom is as simple as you can get. The yields can be huge if you do it right too

If you greenhouse hydro, just be careful of your water temps. Get too hot and you'll have stinky bacteria and fungi in your water that will make you wonder just what the heck is going on. Nice grow. So is this kind of like a tray version of krusty bucket? Good to see you're in Wa. too. It's a good place to go indoors or outdoors if you've got the land. Good temps for both.
