55 gal dwc

Sounds like a good plan. I no longer use fluorescent lighting, nor HID lighting, so now and then I still like to check in on higher power grows.

khyberkitsune Reviewed by khyberkitsune on 08-11-2010. 55 gal dwc ok so, I'm going to try something different. I'm going to build a 55gal dwc to see if i can grow a monster. I want to document this grow for a year. What im trying to go for is over 3 pounds from one single plant, i plan to super crop / fim and trim till i have no more room. Im working with a 12ft x 12ft garage with 2 1,000 watt metal hailed / high pressure sodiums. I have already selected my breed im going with northen lights orignal thats ment to be grown outdoors do to the height it can Rating: 5

My experience is good Following a very limited nutrient regimen that I used in prior HID/T5HO grows, I'm getting the same yield in the 'grams per watt' section, however the grams per kilowatt-hour section is much higher, which means I'm producing more product for less energy using the same nutrient regimen.

If I used the same nute regimen that the commercial growers use, odds are I could do much better.

The potency is definitely higher compared to HID/T5HO grows I've done from the same strain.

hmm well it sounds like i just might sell my hid and give the leds a chance to shine thanks for the info can wait to finish building this thing, takin me 4 days so far i had to tweak the air pump to produce enofe bubbles thats alot of freakin water! I have the northern lights plant vegging in a differnt dwc right now till it gets a bit bigger and then its going into the monster, hope to get pics up soon
