Mephisto Genetics 3BOG 5gal DWC vs 4gal AutoPot. Round 1.... Fight!

[slowandeasy]

Ok cool. I will get with derek again I met him after my last plant in dwc.

I started growing 20+ years ago. MWC, MEDIUMLESS WATER CULTURE. I used a solid pool noodle to hold the plant, an airstone, and pump in each 5 gal bucket. Some of the largest buds I ever grew. But hydro is more maintenance and my temps run higher than I want. So I moved to Coco 12 years ago. Since I have everything, I am trying a bucket again. First go with Autos and DWC

Hey Derek, they are both doing well. Won't lie, DWC Girl is bigger. I upped the feeding on the Coco girl to the same as DWC. Coco girl looks a tad lighter in Color, hungry. I had the feed lower on Coco because she was behind. I will take a couple pics soon. I will say that my temps have been pretty hot, A/C went out last week. A friend is supposed to come fix it. And your Max O2 theory is working. I would have expected root rot by now. I will go back and look at how many days we are on. I can say that the DWC girl will be bigger for sure. But In my short experience with Autos I would not be surprised if it takes longer to grow. Bigger the pot, the longer it takes to start flowering IMO. For it's size, I would expect preflowers by now.

Oh yeah you definitely add cycle time with the DWC setup, I say at least a week more and sometimes two depending on the strain. And its crazy huh, you would seriously think that there would be problems with the water bein warmer and stuff but with all that air it just doesn't happen. I am happy to see that you like it and another person that is on board with the Max O2! Great work my friend now we just need some pictures, cause you know we have a sayin around here "pics or it didn't happen" lol here is a little rep slap for ya

Coco girl first, looking nice. DWC girl second, minor heat stress, but she is large and in charge. Approx day 30 from seed.
