    What nutes should my dwc setup use?

    im going to buy 4 big black rubber tubs and make my own dwc system with 4 plants in each tub. it will be non-recirc because i cant risk leaks, each one will just be its own bubble bucket. i dont trust myself to be able to cut all those holes and setup everything perfectly and leak free.

    im going to have 4 plants in each tub, with an airstone under every one. i will be using a 400watt cmh for vegging and some of flowering, then hps. im also unclear on how powerful an airpump ill need to power 16 airstones. could i get away with 1 airstone for every 2 plants?

    the strains ill be growing are mandellas speed queen and white satin (indica heavy hybrids) as well as super silver haze and miss mud.

    i was considering b'cuz and a silica additive.

    Personally I am a big fan of the Canna Aqua series.
    XCrispi and Weedhound are very knowledgeable in DWC and if you can find their logs, you'll learn a lot.

    Good choice. Easy and high producer, gram per watt. You will need two 8 port Eco pumps. Of course you can use less stones and there are different sizes too. And if you can get it at a local hydro store try the Technaflora Recipe For Success Kit.

    Oh and I would encourage you to get something smaller for veg, otherwise you're going to be blowing through nutes.

    When you have more than one or two buckets that are not connected or dont have a drain valve, its gonna be a pain in the ass to drain and refill. Its very easy to make a 4 bucket recirculating system, but if you dont wanna do that I suggest having some kind of way to drain the res w/o having to remove the plant. Its gonna stress your plant and your back.

    hope this helps


    Ohh and if you just started using hydro, use the GH 3 part. And you will want as much O2 as you can get on those roots. If you dont have enough oxy in the res its gonna make you vunerable to root rot.
