I've been giving serious consideration to building a DWC system for the next indoor grow.... I've had a look around, and there are a few questions I wonder if anyone here can answer. Firstly, if all else is equal like light and temp, strain and so on, then is there any appreciable difference in yeild, potency or otherwise between growing with DWC and growing in a well managed, sterile medium (be it perlite, grow rocks, or anything else like that that goes in a pot...) with an airpump in the res? I mean, if the point of dwc is that you get more oxygen because the roots are in a highly oxygenated solution, wouldn't that also apply if you watered with a highly oxygenated…

Hey all, I have a few 3 week old plants and the leaves on em are huge, stems nearly an inch thick already. The problem is that the new stems are growing straight UP right next to the centre stem and actually hitting the leaves above them, they won;t grow out cuz the leaves are blocking all the light. Do i cut the leaves that are blocking the view or will the new stems puch there way through?

I have about 1.5msq to work with, and I was just curious as to what kind of yield I should aim for, or the average yield for this kind of set up. Im thinking of using clones from spc. -cheebafan

Hi all, Need some help here on what pot sizes to use from start to finish. I have no idea as i've never grown in pots, Always straight in the ground or my airo. I've done a bit of hunting about but my brain(or whats left of it) doesn't understand the ol' gallons to litre change. Space is no probs at the moment and i grow under a 400w hps. Any help much appreciated, Paranoid.

Hi, I am a newbie but, A couple of years back I had a plant in the cuboard and a growlux 150watt light on it... It grew to around 3-4 feet in about 2 1/2 months 24/7. Then I switched the cycle to induce blooming... anyhow I got sick of waiting and a bit paranoid about the smell as i was living in a 40 unit building.... I ripped it out of the soil (fert'd with fish emulsion) and dried it in the griller, just when it was getting the first nice tips forming... well what a dissappointment that was!!! I didn't even get stoned of the shit!!!! What I was wondering was... is this a common scenario with a hydro/light setup?? If you've ever had sumthin like this happen plz let me…
