This is my first grow journal, along with first DWC grow. Have done a many of research on this topic in terms of DWC, and have found it to be a very interesting project to decide to embark on.
What we have here is a complete DIY set up, from the grow tent and the DWC to all the zip ties and duck tape.
I will first start of by saying thanks to Corey for his amazing Nutes, I have seen great grows with his nutrients, I just had to try it out.
I will be performing a self pollination and pollination of another planet but same strain. This will be done with forcing the first plant into hermi mode, with that amazing juice everyone has been talking about, Tiresias Mist!

--- // Blue Planet Nutrients
DWC // Deep Water Cultivation
Royal Queen Quick One // Auto 1
Royal Queen Quick One // Auto 2
Being that this is one of the faster Auto Flower strains that Royal queen has, it's not the highest yielding. So with the situation I am in like most DIY peeps, budget is key. I want to be as successful with the grow as much as I can, so with DWC, ---, 60 day Auto flower. So by forcing Auto 1 into hermi which then leads to balls and pollen, I will proceed to pollinate Auto 1 that will produce F1 clone in seed form. From the pollen I gather I will then control pollinate the Auto 2, which then would result to a F2 seeds.. that will grow to 80% of the parent plant. In order to do this right timing is perfect to produce the F1 seeds due to the vigorous growth of the Auto flower and DWC combination.. I must mist a branch at right around 2 weeks, and continue until I see signs of sex, then give it time to mature the seeds. If all goes well.. I will have a decent amount of seeds that will me feminized. I will not be pollinating all the buds, just a few.. and save some pollen for some of the other plant I have growing.. growing is a everyday experiment.
Here are some pictures I took tonight, after completing my DWC installation into the tent. I was so excited about the new upgrade in medical development, I removed a 3 week old Kush Berry from soil into the DWC. Never done that before... anxious to see how she does over night.
It was a successful transplant in my book.
I didn't plant on having other strain in this grow.. but they will be there for the entire time. My tent is 20"X45"X5'.
So space is limited, will prolly move them at end of flowering of the Auto's.
I like my Kush.. so there is Hindu, Bubba, and Berry Kush lingering in my grow tent..
Here is the real project at way So pumped on making seeds and fast growth with the Auto and DWC hook up. Started soaking the Quick one, this is Auto 1. Will germinate Auto 2 in about a week, to give time for the pollen sacks to form on Auto 1.
first pic iis the Auto 2 in bag//Secon pic is Auto 1 in soak
Okay set up.. I'm running 2 105watt CFL. with 3 1600 20w CFL Total of 17000 Lumens.. not great at all.. but what I have to work with for now. Plan on upgrading to Full LED panels sooon!
My tank is a 14gal reservoir... with 2 pumps.. a 160GPH feeding pump.. and a 295 GPH Power head that is aerating the tank (which can be alternate into a circulating jet that does around 1300GPH).. So maximizing my Dissolved Oxygen.. I have another Air Pump with air stone that I should put in just make it that much more. Each site is being fed from the 160 GPH pump.. while the Power head does just that.. Moves that tank around like a wave pool and making the break in the surface area to create those volley oxygen bubbles! Here is a link to anyone that does not completely understand how dissolved oxygen works and the diffusion process it goes through to separate the oxygen from the other gases into the water. CHEMICAL FEATURES OF WATER
It helped me a lot in understanding the importance of dissolve oxygen and how well it can increase the growth of the plant.. and we all know Auto flowers need that that fast growth for those colas at week 8..
Blue Planet nutes of course. PH level is at 5.8 with 1ml/gal atm which brings my ppm to around 120.
Res temps are 65 degrees.
Once my sprouts come out.. I will then boost to 2.5ml/gal.
Will then gradually increase, at a 2.5ml/gal until I hit 8.5 on the Part A. and will increase Part B to 12ml/gal.. but this is all way down the line
I will not be using any other supplement if not needed.
This will be very exciting ride due to all the variables at hand, AutoFlowers...Female on Female love making with a wet DWC system that always make the ladies happy. I've done my research lets see if it all pays off!

How goes it there TsaktuO!
I'm in! This looks REAL interesting!
ink Salad" on the geno line, and what amazing line Secret Garden Seeds has made. Seed Depot Forums write up. 
) and my first attempt at DWC too.
Also been using Bassman's Defoliation technique since the last grow. Had 5 plants. 1 died, 3 went male and the seed I started when the one died wound up being my only fem. So I pollenated a few of her branches and wound up w/ a nice lil' selection of seeds to grow with! (one of which is in my current journal) 
I'm sure I'll glean some interesting things watching this develop as well!
. I understand people have there opinion, they just need to understand they are not the only one's that do. :
. So excited about these Pink Salad myself. The pheno's on this strain are by far the coolest I've seen. If you get a green pheno chances it will have a sour apple smell, and same goes for the pink and the purple Pheno's! Can't wait for scratch and sniff time
!
