DWC drip system

[TheLumberJackofDank]

Hi I'm a first time grower
I have chosen the DWC drip system but I have a couple of question if anybody could help me that would b great. My first question is how many plants should I grow n keep in rotation so I can always have a personal stash coming in. My next question has to do with the system I plan on growing 4 plants in 4 black buckets, I wanted to kno can I use another bucket of the same size as the reservoir or does it need to b bigger and how much water would i put in all the buckets once the system is together.

Thank you and I would love to hear what anybody has to say about this kind of system all together pros/cons, different set ups anything that comes to mind thanks again. Burn 1 :rasta:

If you have never done any hydro before... I would suggest that you start as simple as possible! DIRT... Theres some folks here that are masters with hydro! I've done it.. But never would I had started with hydro.. You screw up? Then it's very hard to turn it around...Soil is way more forgiving for a beginner!

@gagrown When I say first time grower I'm talkin with cannabis not plants in general. I have grown other plants from dirt b4 so this not my first time growing. I'm asking about the hydro because I heard it was quicker n more bud to b grown, yes I have done my research n kno that if I mess up I got hours Mayb mins to fix. So thanks for lookin out for me but ur post didn't help at all. And as for the wise man if he was great shit wouldn't happen he'd kno b4 it happened. I plan to b great with my system so shit won't happen but if it does it will b a learning experience for me so tell the wise man step his game up

I'm jumping to hydro this week. Well I'm doing both. I've been doing a ton of studying About 8 to 12 hrs a day, reading , YouTube videos and hitting up other growers and hydro shops. I took a ton of notes.Theres a ton Of learning to be done. I killed 30 Plants because I didn't think I needed to learn or do research . Lol ya I've changed up.

Well.... Sorry it did'nt help! But your gonna find out the hardway! That wise man would blow you and your lil' beansprouts outta the park! Cannabis is totally different from any other plant.. You'll get some hot soil or you'll burn them up! Get all ya lil' science stuff out and get cha grow on! I really don't know why you would try hydro first.... Ya need to worry about getting the beans popped or the clones started... I've been on this site for way too long! It just takes one BAD APPLE! So... That being said... I probably won't be back to this site... You did'nt run me off! You just helped me make my mind up! Some folks just wanna start shit! I ain't one of them! Hope ya find what cha need! Most of the old schoolers are outta here! Still some great frolks here!

I JUST WANNA TELL ALL YA'LL PEACE!

That WISE MAN.... He would be Rusty Trichome... Check some of his posts... You'll eat what cha said!

Its ok, do what you want. My first MMJ grow experience was hydro. I started with 1 plant though. I was successfull. Hydro needs to be monitered on a daily basis. If you are only growing 4 plants you dont have to use a res, but if you would like to, a 5 gal bucket should be fine. Easch plant bucket should be 1/3 to 1/2 full of solution at all times. Make sure you use bubble stones in your buckets to keep the roots oxygenated. If you are making your own buckets, as I did. You will need to put some sorta way to know the level of water in your furthest bucket and res., if using a res. Otherwise you need it on all buckets. I am currently growing 12 under 2 x 600w HPS, come March I will be going down to 6 under 2 x 600w. I would say you would need to keep them on a monthly or maybe even a bi-weekly, turn-a-round. Just depends on how personal you say it is. Yield also depends hugely upon how much and what type of lighting you are using. If I was you I wouldnt go any less than a 600w HID.

Good Luck!

Maybe He'll listen to you then... Cause I've been there and done hydro myself.. Successfully! I might add.. Don't have a clue as to why folks get so abrasive?

I says.. do whatcha want.. Its alltril and error. But I agree, if you come to a forum for info/advice, then thats what you should do. Not talk shit..

Give info and recieve advice, Take advice and leave respect!

Dude, GET THE HELL off your High Horse and smoke a joint. Nobody here meant YOU any disrespect. Especially not me. I basically defended you with that last post, and you're gon stand there and say I was talkin shit. I simply said, "If you com to a forum in need of advice, than ask for it, but also be open to criticism. If you do take the advice someone gave you, then you should be respectful enough to leave some rep."
