I've read several comments where this is a point of interest so I figured a small tutorial wouldn't hurt. So today I'll give y'all a peek at what I use to do what I do here at The Roost.
It's Day 14 for a Mephisto Northern Cheese Haze that's growing in ProMix HP.
She will be sprayed with this commercial colloidal silver solution to reverse sex and produce female pollen for herself and four plants I'll be growing in my dwc buckets. The hope is to produce a few feminized seeds from each.
So what are the other plants you ask ? It's an all Mephisto grow once again.
Who'd a think it huh ?
The line up will include a Sour Crack, Sour Stomper, Four Assed Monkey, and a Blue Tooth-Special Pheno.
Edit: Damp paper towels, zip loc bags, heating pad, and a dark towel on top to insulate. Seeds placed down for germination this morning.
Here's where the magic will happen. Notice where my airlines connect with the buckets at the top of the sight tubes. That's the only oxygen input I use. No airstones or any other diffusers.
Air will be supplied by a small semi-quiet four outlet air pump. Run wide open of course.
Lighting will be with seven 50w cobs from CobShop. "I wear my sunglasses at night."
And finally the only nutrients and additives. Nothing more than the basic Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect m,g,b, some cal-mag, Hydroguard, and Z7. That's it.
Simple, simple, simple.
Stay tuned, when the other four crack I'll document my planting procedure, and nurturing the babies until the roots reach the reservoirs. Until then if y'all know anybody wanting to learn how easy DWC can be, or tired of buying seeds and wanting an alternative, send them over. There's more than enough room on the porch for everyone to have a seat.
Don't forget to pass this left though.
