    Hey growz, good DIY.. This might work for my veg area.. I BLOOM with DWC setup.. they way I started.

    But a couple questions.. How/where/when do you check ph/ppms? Would I take the top tub out (roots dangling?) put em somewhere and check/fill?

    And do you check the ph/ppms before or after watering? Both!???

    My DWC I just cut a hole in the top and volala check/fill hole.

    Hi m8

    you just lift the lid m8 and do your checks

    the checks are just the same as any hydroponic grow
    make sure the EC and PH are at the correct levels and thats it

    I built this but havent used it yet I am useing NFT at the minute m8 but i will get round to useing it and of course do a grow diary when i do

    cheers

    growz, you inspired me. I put the BB Cheese in water last night! I soak RW today, tomorrow or Sunday they go into the new F&D veg res (I put it together this morning, thanks again m8T). In a month or so 2 of the girlies will go into bloom along with 1 of my MK clones.

    I been dickin around with veg stage for vegging of seeds b4 sexing, I think now all I'll have to do is pluck out the girls from the hydroton, clean it from their roots and put em in the DWC til they're done.

    I made my self 1 of these a while back as i was wanting to change from soil over to hydro, and loved the ease of this setup.

    I used the large container which is about 40 or 50 ltrs max, which you wont be moving anywhere btw.
    I used 2x 200ltr per/hr pumps in mine, 1 to do the flooding part and 1 for keeping the res agitated.
    My 1st grow in mine was a sog with 8 rooted clones, i didnt reach harvest tho as i had 1 major accident and the whole tray slipped into the res below, while replacing the pump after a res refill.
    They got to about week 6 of 12/12, and were looking spanking, really frosty alot more than my soil grows and fat single cola's, was a shame!

    Not getting to down in the mouth about it, i will persist and have it up and running for my next grow after i make a few alterations first
