My first attempt at DWC. So far so good.
I just want the haunted perlite out of my house lol. It follows me everywhere lol.
changing up from 6 single cola sea of green to 3 5gal dwc in 2x4.
I need less work for a while and always wanted to try this.
Bubble bubble. Toil and trouble. Wash the perlite from my home lol.
ya Wayzee ya I was just showing all parts of the buckets. They stay closed. It's definitely more finicky than soil. I'm struggling with ph creep. Also I just want to let my clones develop naturally this time.

These are a few things I've still got going in the tent. First is a Stinky Pink from Going2fast. She had budlets at 18 days and flowers at 3 weeks. Never really had a chance to grow. I kept her because I was starting my outdoor grow and I'm kinda glad I did. She's tiny but man she is stinky. Pretty buds too. The other is a Jelly Breath from In House Genetics at 48 days. I have to flip her soon.

Hello !!!
Started 2nd grow 4 weeks ago.
1 crystal candy ( bag seed ) + 2 random bagseeds
The plan is to mainline according to nebula's guide
Waiting for the girls to go 6 nodes ( Do I count from the first serrated leaf ? or the 3 finger leaves )
They seem happy, growing in homemade soil with 50% field soil and 50% homemade compost.
Homemade humidifier works wonders, some ingenuity, sitcks and a glue gun goes a long way
RH goes from 50 to 55 up and down... no issues, probably will go up as the girls evolve into mainline and get bushy. I say girls.. I mean, hopefully they are girls...
Did plain PH corrected water, and started a light feed 3 days ago
1ml / lt BioGrow.
Cheers !Last edited by GrowNinja; 06-02-2025, 10:08 PM.

Nice looking grow you have there BU2B.
Do you cut the boys as part of your pollen collection method? I liked to cut my males and take them indoors and hang them upside down with the bags on them. It would force the last of the pollen sacs to open with a low risk of contamination. I tried a few methods and that seemed to give me the most pollen with less hassle from the weather and other outdoor crap you have to put up with.

Some more light p*rn of my lights in their sidelight positions and a pic of how i use the lights to start the plants when they are still wee small. With the lights layed out horizontal, they can be spread out to cover an area of 4’x6’ or 2’x12’ and have even light spread from a light height of 6-8 inches. If i change the DC drivers, i can literally double the wattage to 1200W but then they need some form of active cooling. The current design and wattage allows me to just use passive cooling from fans to help keep the LEDs from getting too warm. Currently, each strip will be between 35-39C and can be within inches of a bud or leaf and not cause heat burn.5 Photos

Oh cool
So each light bar is about 30W?
1.5kg from 600W is a lot. Thats huge!. With top lighting only I'm getting somewhere around 1 to 1.5g/w of top shelf bud. It varies depending on veg time and different combinations I've been using. Last grow was around 2.2kg of premium bud and I got about another 1.5kg of average to laffy bud for extracts but normally I only go for premium bud and about a 1lb a photoperiod plant is the go and I can fit 5 comfortably at that manageable size under those lights in the room.
Bought a MarsHydro 1200W about a year ago, the cheaper Bridgelux version with the wifi control. It does 7x5 in flower pretty well. It's a great light and was about US$680 delivered. Wish I got two of them.

Drphil69 the breeder website says it’s an “Indica dominant hybrid”.
Bluey The lights are my own DIY design and build. The output is 600W at the LEDs. There are four 48V DC drivers that add another couple of watts of consumption but not very much more. The cost of DIY was only about $900CAD (roughly $650-ish USD). My last garden (4 plants) yielded 1500g which amounts to 2.64g/watt.
My goal was to be able to adjust the light’s positions and heights to account for different size plants because, as we know, they come in various shapes and sizes. This garden is helping me to validate how flexible and adaptive the lights really are. The BW plant finally stopped at 39” tall, while the WW is barely 18”. Also note the BW is sitting on the floor while the other 3 are on rolling drip trays. As i mentioned in my post, when she hit the stretch she just climbed faster than any plant I’ve had before.
The design is also ideal for doing a big manifold since i can have the lights all be horizontal above al spread out and evenly high colas. (In theory as i have not done a SCROG yet)

Nice one. I love seeing other people's setups.
What lights are you running and do you know how many watts they draw from the outlet when you are at max?
