    Default Mod that Wilma

    New groom nearly finished. Dialed In pretty easy too considering I haven’t screwed the doors on yet.
    8 pot Wilma xl with drilled top tray,10” airpots,8 airstones and a couple of regular fluval pumps moving shit about.
    Got some hps 400w warehouse light I ahem,found many years ago,and a wanky euro reflector running a 400w metal halide through a (somehow resurrected) lumii digi ballast. 6” Rvk out on a cheapie speed controller. (Which I actually rate cos I can tell it to shut the fuck up easily unlike my rhino twin) am getting some parabolics for this puppy. Watch this space. Got a mix of afghan kush x black domina (w.o.s) and some funky gsc x something.(another story)
    Done 2 grows in a baby nft. Got 3/4 of the way through a grow with this system and that all went twang(yet another story)so this is kinda my first proper hydro grow...sort of. In fact I should have made this a diary lol but I’m fucked if I’m typing all that out again. Peace!Click image for larger version.

    Ok. I’ll just keeps tabs here for my notes..the il Wilma section is a bit quiet eh?
    Well 1black kush cut was dead,thought I’d put her in a bit prematurely but found a bloody baby slug! Was doing a res change so ran a few litres of boiling water through the airpot that was housing the blighter! Hopefully sorted -and cut replaced.
    All looking nice apart from that.
    ph 5.9 ec 0.8 27 deg lights on 18 off. 47% rh.
    Using europonics a/b grow @ 1ml per litre also added a sample bottle of ata zyme,supposedly breaks down any old organic shite floating about.cant hurt. Unless you’re a slug lol.
    Looking forward to this one I’ve never done a full Wilma grow and hoping for some fantastic results! Peace.

    It is a bit quiet, bud. I did my last two grows in a wilma but I've just switched to dwc. JB is doing a modded wilma grow which is essentially dwc. Here's the link to his diary

    Thought I'd pop in and add my two cents to modding the wilma.

    Tbh, I only tried one grow as an actual wilma with the drippers, it was my first grow and I got good results size wise but had no clue really what I was doing. What I'm saying is I can't really knock the stock wilma. It works although I did drill a few holes in the side for some airlines and airstones as I didn't like the idea of the water just sitting there for most of the time.

    As I'm low on headroom ditching the wilma pots for net pots made sense although if you've got some headroom then making more of a hybrid system with the wilma pots still on top but a hole cut out so the roots can dangle in to the res might provide better yields.

    Although I've not got much to compare to the health of my roots is always great and once the plants get growing there is no stopping them.

    My modded wilma can def outperform what I can happily fit in my tent which can be a bit of bugger sometimes.
