@Grandaddy013 @peachfuzz well I went to get the fittings and stuff to make it into a recirculating, and $125 later, I’m using give gallon buckets just 2 of em!!
I run advanced 2 part, and wanted to try some of their additives so bought ALL the little ones except what I already have

Looks female.
Yes it does, but I still don’t see any white pistils showing female sex. It’s got me a little concerned.
1inch bulkhead fittings are about $4each. I keep my veg room at 65°, so I don’t need a chiller in there. I run chillers in my flower room. @peachfuzz is able to control his temps without one, I am not. Chiller will state what size pump you need. Any questions, feel free to ask

Male parts will be less tear drop shape and more rounded.
It looks female I agree with @Covertgrower
I don’t have any experience with chillers or bucket systems so I can’t help you there sorry.

And I wouldn’t use round buckets
What are your goals? How much do you need to produce?
@Grandaddy013 I don’t really have a goal outside of getting as much as possible, I don’t it to make money, I don’t as a hobby and to support my own habits, the money is spent, I have round buckets and everything I need to make this little recirculating DWC, I have to go get 2 more half inch barbs, but after that it’s putting everything together and starting it up, I have almost 300 gph water pump, for my 2 buckets, and plan in expanding the DWC in the future, Im gonna out everything together and run it for a couple days THEN determine if I need a chiller or not, at which point I’ll figure out what size I’ll need!!

@peachfuzz ok so here’s the deal with this one, I got her last week, when I got her her root system was about 6 inches long and beautifully white and hairy, I put her in the DWC, and when doing so I think her roots hot caught up in some rocks, so I left her alone just checking pH and ppm, so the next day, I woke up to droopy leaves and didn’t know why, so asked here and found the water level was slightly too low, so added some ph’d water and it got a little better, yesterday I woke up, and she was looking super dry, and I got really concerned so took her out of the hydroton to take a look, and found her beautifully white roots, all shriveled up, a little brown and almost gone, so immediately put some water and B vitamin, with some hydroguard onto her rockwool cube and added just enough water to the bucket that the bottom of the net basket was about a quarter inch to half inch submerged, so here we are today and she’s definitely coming back, but I still see no signs of her roots working towards the water, and I’m not sure if just keeping it so the water is almost to the rockwool is good or not, I mean she’s obviously getting fed, cuz she doesn’t look that bad, but any suggestions?

Plant looks fine…
Hydro and water only grows are a little tricky…
Once you start to figure out little things , it becomes so much easier…
I only have my phone for taking pics and comunication and my phone still won’t convert my pics so that I can share… 
Would like to share some pics of some girls that I just put into flower…
One of them was wilting because I cut a bunch of roots off of her , so I added enough water to keep her roots in the solution and hopefully she will bounce back…
We shall see…
You never know with these girls …

Lou, So sorry to hear your awful news. If there’s anything I can do at all please let me know. I’m not religious so let’s just say I’ll be worrying about you and your family. So, here’s hoping you and your girlfriend test negative. Best of luck with Grandma and her dad

@kaptain3d @Jaydawg6528 @patchman @yoshi @CalamityJane @Davyg @Covertgrower @Hellraiser @HappyHydroGrower @abouttime I sew loops to the fabric pots so I’m not stuck just going in 2 directions
I read that some people tie to the handle and then try to swirl the new growth around the edges. That sounded too hard to me. Yelled at again for the single person conversation, it says send a personal message when you click that then it takes you to the profile, but they don’t tell you what to do from there

@kaptain3d @Jaydawg6528 @patchman @yoshi @CalamityJane @Davyg @Covertgrower @Hellraiser @abouttime @Kinglouida13th With the one in the picture, she was always so short, so I started the training with paper clips, just straightened them out and folded over, not tight, I was concerned that the metal might bruise Clara, but it hardly even touches the plant. When she was long enough I bent her over and tied her up. I had to come up with something it was driving me crazy and I couldn’t stand waiting anymore. spyonyou I really like how you’ve got that tent set up with the foil pans for drip and the plants on the net, that’s genius!!! You don’t have to pick up the plants to empty the tray, it looks so neat and clean and it looks like it’s easy to keep it that way. So are those boards like a box you built, or are they just separating the trays. I was just getting ready to order some stuff (trying to get everything I’ll need now while I have the cash) and I was going to get one of those, they look better than the cloth one that came with my tent, now I think I might get 2 and try that if I don’t have to build a box for it. Genius!
