My First Journal: GG#4 In DWC & Soil

DWC should produce a bigger plant faster
Yep. She was almost 2 days behind the soil plant. About 36 hours to be exact. She even has nearly double the size of her main stock compared to soil. Loving the DWC and everything about it.
 
DWC is noticeably bigger.
I was going to get a 4x4 for a 4 site system but thinking about it, I am moving it to a 5x5 so I can get in better plus the extra sq ft will help when i want to grow monster plants.
 
My one GG4 is filling my 4x4

Very nice. How long did you have her in veg? You'll have to tie up alot more soon. Great job.
 
So I was looking to build my own other 3 systems. I also wanted to build a small 6-8 site system for clones. I am going to use my current pump for the clones. 2 questions I have....

Will this pump be ok for four 5 gallon buckets?

VIVOSUN 950 GPH O2 32W Air Pump 6 Outlets

And what size should the plastic netting pot be for both bucket and bubble cloner?
 
Vegged for 36 days was all
I would have thought at least 2 months but then again I am used to soil growth so this exploding DWC growth is new to me still lol. I got my seeds from our sponsor here New420GuySeeds. if you don't mind me asking, where is yours from? I also have Expert Gorilla coming from Seedsmans at some point. Ordered 4 weeks ago lol. Expert is their name of GG#4 I guess.
 
So i was doing a little shopping and came across these....I am going to pick them up tomorrow. I don't trust the pump so i will probably order the one pasted above and keep this as a backup.

 
I bought my first DWC setup as a kit like that.
The bucket I got now was a kit. i was going to get a 4 site from the get go but didnt just in case I didnt like how the grow went. The price isn't too bad but it has everything I need to start. A few reviews says the pump is loud but in one room i got an AC and like 9 fans going lol. Figure just swap the pumps out and toss the one it includes to the side. They also have that L shaped tube on the outside that my current bucket doesn't have now. So it'll make things easier to for me. After looking at @Chris Scorpio GG#4, it has me thinking if I should just go bigger then a 5x5 with like a 4x8 or 6x6 that I believe Mars Hydro has too. I am really underestimating how big these ladies get in water.
 
That looks like a good deal. I bought my setup through my local grow shop and it cost me alot more then that. If you have the space bigger is better. I have 3 tents the biggest being 4x8 got my 4 Dwc plants in the 4x8 and I'm glad I do they got waaay bigger then I expected them to.

Yea I am going to rock with those buckets posted above. I figured I can build them for like $10-15 USD each. I am sure the pump adds to price a little but that will be a backup anyways. I was going to grab a large Mars Hydro tent as I do own pretty much every light they have so figured I would brand the tent with light as I hear their tents are built rather well. They are out of stock until late April so I am going to look on ebay and see what I can find locally. Between my 4 growing areas my closet and my 3x3 are the largest. My closet can hold 5 normal plants or 3 big girls. That is about 3ft by 8ft. I run two TSL-2000's in there and they form a upside down V over the plants instead of being level.

Having this shipped as my cloner. Price tag isn't too bad at all. I rather pay a few extra dollars to be hassle free. Going to have to paint the outside black though unless I find a different one for around that price.
 
I was doing a little browsing and I came across this setup. I can still run with a 4 site bubble cloner. I am not too big on clones but I want the option if I were to find a keeper. The hunt continues....

 
is there a general rule when looking for air pumps? How many watts or gallons for a 4 site system on 1 pump if buckets are 5 gallon each? Would I need a 20 gallon pump?
