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

Is this your official journal or the other one ā€œFallpponicsā€? I’d like to follow along

I will use this thread for documentation.

That being said here’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 that’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. I’m thinking of just using a tote w a pump/hose to do such, otherwise I’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 I’ll consider. Probably just try pumping the RO water first. Soo much to go horribly wrong w this setup, did i mention I’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 fallponics… 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 should’ve been transplanted like a week ago. I’m sooo bad at this! Got 8 freeb auto’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! It’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.
