Newb in every sort of the way

Complete newb to growing and decided to dive deep into rdwc. Currently I have a 5x5 aci tent, tempering the diy fallponics 13gal 4 site to fit, and a mammoth 8 mint. Hope it all works out w the free pine autos, after that, onto photo blue dreams

I will use this thread for documentation.

That being said hereā€™s a background of my first ever grow. I have a 5x5 aci tent in my sleeping quarters in which I plan on assembling the pa 4site 13gal fallponics system. In his bedroom?! Yes, in my bedroom lol. Far from ideal, but thatā€™s my only option. May end up scrapping the rdwc and go soil, time will tell. I have installed an RO system and will have to figure out how to transport such to a tote for the weekly change as well as figuring out how to discharge the old. Iā€™m thinking of just using a tote w a pump/hose to do such, otherwise Iā€™ll have to resort to carrying 5gal buckets 10x for the close to 50gal exchange. Otherwise, I went w a mammoth mint 8 led, aci 69 pro controller, 2 oscillating fans, and a charcoal filter. For nutes, I went w a recipe from HWGrow. Probably will have to change to a more reasonably priced nutes considering the amount of times they will b used. I went w bluelabs for the pens.

Wish me luck :crossed_fingers:

Something Iā€™ll consider. Probably just try pumping the RO water first. Soo much to go horribly wrong w this setup, did i mention Iā€™m in a 2nd floor duplex?

Some things to lol at my expense :slight_smile: Made ā€œjuiceā€ for feeding, my dumbass just used that instead of diluting it w the ro. Like 3700 ppm solution, what a waste of money. Also i managed to make cracks in 3 buckets for drain holes in my pa fallponicsā€¦ got that sorted hopefully :hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed:Got a flexi-tank, probably should have just went w a drum. Anyone use the flexi? Return it and get a drum? Managed to germ 1 out of 4 autos that shouldā€™ve been transplanted like a week ago. Iā€™m sooo bad at this! Got 8 freeb autoā€™s coming tmrw to hopefully germ using the cd case method. Still working on plumbing the pa system

Nice name my friend. @Flatnut we got another one.

The odd noise in More and Faster, it was a rack of springs that was amplified. It was crazy.

What nutrients are you using?

Supplements?

Some recipe from hwgrow.

Salutations all! Itā€™s been awhile, and happy to report my progress is somewhat good?! A quick reminder on what I am working w:
5x5 aci, 4 13 gal site customized PaH fallponics system, mammoth mint 8, 6" inline charcoal, 4 - 6" oscillating fans, t-7 humidifier, and a 7 gal dwc.

The dwc auto is about 78 days after germ and is flowering after many mistakes

On all sides of that auto, I have 4 photos in the rdwc that I just flipped 4 days ago and they seem to be doing ok?



Root pic is of the third largest of the 4. By 1/16/25, all 5 of the white widows germed. On the 1/20/25, they went into the rdwc. Short veg on them but my tent is only 7ft tall and from what I gathered, they tend to b tall ladies.
