Racerx's G13 3000watt recirculating DWC grow

Racer... why did you choose DWC when you went hydro? Always like hearing what each person enjoy about a particular method. Looks great man, good work bro. At some point we should huff a joint at the beach together and chat if you are into it bro.

i chose recirculating DWC because I had already experienced the insane growth of the DWC system, but the main downfall was having to replace water, keeping temp down, and using a lot of nutrients. i chose the system after reading Blazeoneup's tutorial on a cannabisculture.com and because I had seen pictures of the explosive growth of the water chilled recirculating dwc.

The system essentially combines a few elements, and you get both your constant solution (where the main root mass is) and then you get your aeroponic environment around the top of the roots and the root ball, keeping everything humid and moist inside. One downfall is the fact that we go through about 100 gallons of water or more a week, which is hard to keep up with as far as refilling and adding more nutrients. pH is incredibly stable because of the amount of water and the constant mixing.

After using the system for a few grows now, I am convinced it is the way to go. However as I mentioned before, we are moving to even less plants. From 16 to 12 and now, if we were to do the same room, we would do 6 plants!! We are going to do DWC trees, veg for about 6 weeks again but this time not

im in love with dwc too, i had good luck to get convinced to do it rather than dirt, (im SO glad i listened)... but now the recirculating dwc system looks like the ultimate hydroponic system....(to me anyways)

hey nice grow btw.....ive been watching for awhile but dont post much....peace

We are about to get ready to move as well, to a more ideal location for what we are doing. My current land lord has been playing head games with me for a few months now, "we might come by next week" type of bullshit. She is just a bit nosey and completely flaky.

Any tips on finding land lords here in Santa Cruz that ARENT as nosy? I live in Aptos, seems people here are more concerned about their property than land lords in other surrounding towns but I could be wrong.

Great work man... I am thinking I'm going to set up a ebb and flow system in my new house... just have to figure out exactly hwo to do that in the next month or so. =) Good job, buds look wonderful

P.S I got 1.25 pounds per 1000 watt lamp of my sour diesel harvest.

Thats not a bad yield for the sour diesel. Its not a huge yielder but not a bad one either. Technically speaking from a wattage to gram point of view, this last grow on the G13 we achieved 0.65 grams per watt when using 3000 watts of light. The NYCD looks to have yielded around 1.5 pounds which is about 3/4 of a pound less then the Cindy 99 soil grow we did before. With the Cindy 99 we achieved fairly close to 1 gram per watt with the 2 600 watts. With the NYCD its more like 0.56 grams per watt with the 2 600s.

I would like to calculate how many grams per real wattage there was; I mean including the water chiller, 10,000 btu A/C, inline fan for air cooling, the oscillating fans, the water pump, the CO2 regulator, the environment controller, the dehumidifier, the inline fan for the dehumidifier...

The next grow, I am not sure what strains we will go for. I have a lot of seeds saved away...including Top44, Papaya, Lavender, Mango, crosses of a few of those, NL5xBB, and a variety of others. One of these days the seeds will get cracked and mothers grown. I currently have a NYCD mother going so I will probably keep that strain going.

PS. Razza, I agree we should talk some time. I always like meeting new people who do the same stuff. You never know when their knowledge and experience can help you out. I believe we actually both know someone else on this website as well, so maybe all 3 of us could meet up. I trust him for sure. demohit "at" gmail "dot" com its a temp email address I setup
