Well, a minor setback. The walls of the bin I selected are way too thin and one side collapsed, almost causing my plants to fall into my res! I used a big board and some bungee straps and wrapped the bungee around and put the board on the side that was bowing out to hold it firm. It is working pretty well for now. *knock knock*

I still think cleaning this new res is going to be quite a task because of how bushy my plants are and how small my room is. I have no where to put them in the mean time of cleaning the res. Can anyone reading this give me some insight on what you do to maintain your DWC res? Do you take the plant(s) out and scrub the res down or do you just pump the old water out and fill it up with new water?
dejayou30 Reviewed by dejayou30 on . Third Grow I am at Day 19 of flower in my third grow with 9 Master Kush. My bins drain completely this time around and my roots are super huge which I think I owe to the drainage. I am having some yellowing for some reason, but I just changed the res and upped the PPM to 1100 last night so hopefully they will turn around. The plants really took off in veg which I was not expecting, so I had to tie a few of the plants down to keep them away from the 1KW HPS bulb. The first pic is my whole grow area, Rating: 5
