Hey Everyone,I have been researching,reading,and finding out all the information I can on dwc for the past year and half,I am ready to take the plunge (pun intended)and get wet.I was thinking about starting with just 4-6 ind.units to start with a controller bucket,and a res.

My question is this,with the remarkable growth,yields,and results from dwc what would happen if you pumped the space for the roots?My water bill in not a problem as I dont have one.I was thinking of running 4-6 18 gal tote containers with a 45 controller container, and a 50 gal. (or so) Res.Each 18 gal container would get one plant in a 6"inch net pot with 4-6 weeks of veg.I do have vertical limitations which means anything close to 6' would have to get moved to the side of my 1k hps lights.I know this would produce some huge trees given ideal conditions(means no screw ups on my part,lol).Im thinking about doing this and topping the plants a week or so before moving them into my flowering room.

My space is approx.10x12 with three 1k hps and an ideal plant height of 5'5"-5'8".I did a grow last winter and for various reasons my girls had three months of veg and I had real problems with the vertical limitations in my space.Great yields for a first time grow (avg.4.1 per plant dry)and I learned alot.

I just built a diy aero cloner and took over 50 cuttings this weekend and it looks like one is not doing well and the rest look great.Lots of small scrapy cuttings that I wouldnt normally take and so far (I know its way way early)they look good.This has given me the confidence to try to build my own very lage dwc system.For the cloner I used a 45 gal. rubbermaid tub,1/2 pvc tubing and about 50 sprayers with a 535 (or so) sub. pump with home made inserts(pipe insulation,foam).

I would appreciate any input from the experienced folks (and I know there are lots) on my ideas.Has anyone gone this large with ind.containers?It just makes sense to me as the only limitation on this particular method seems to be container size.
