Hello AFN! Taking my first stab at DWC!!! Here is the goods...

4x4 GrowLab GL120
AN Nute lineup
Dual 310w Solar Storm Led lights
Phresh air filter
1 5gal. DWC bucket for now...
seed is a Flash Seeds, Kush Van Stitch
Hanna combo pen

I have all the temps and ph stable, Today is day 1
I have a bale of Sunshine mix #4, and will run 3 Buddha Seeds Magnums in with the DWC bucket and try to fill the tent up!! Any questions or comments would be most welcome!! Now for some pics... grow pics 003.jpggrow pics 002.jpggrow pics 001.jpggrow pics 004.jpg
 
Hey AFN! First rez check today and all is well!! I know Most, if not all of you use EC and Celcius for reference, but I use ppm and Fahrenheit for now, until I learn the conversion. I downloaded a chart for conversion, so please bear with my American ass.:brow: Tent temp is 78* lights on, and 70 lights off, rez temp is steady at 67*, ppm is 120, and ph is 5.7. The California LED runs as follows
VEG mode runs at 230w
bloom mode runs at 320w
bloom mode with UVB runs at 345w
Light is at 30 inches(5w diodes) to start out.
I am only using 1 panel at the moment, and tonight I will fill 3-5 gallon smart pots(i do wish they were a bit taller) with Amended(dolomite lime @ 1 tsp per gal)Sunshine mix #4, and a jalapino and habanero plants in 2 gal smart pots.(the wife says I have to grow something we can eat. Apparently she has never had edibles or tinctures!!!(she doesn't like weed) All is good, and I'll update in a few days.:peace:

Sounds FANTASTIC!!! Let me get ya right, ya got two solar storm 400w (ss comes in 400 and 800, I think in flower mode the 400 runs at 310?) in your 4x4? Man oh man this will be a good show! Your going to LOVE the KVS. Can't say about the other as I've haven't had it.
What are you doing/using to keep your res temps?
Wishing you the best of luck with your grow!!!!

Edit:rofl just read your post above, it is two 400w.... You will have FANTASTIC results (I run a solar storm 400w so a little bias)
 
Hey Yoda, I asked Jackal about his MI5 grow where he had some flashy bubble wrap called reflectix to wrap the bucket, to keep rez temps cool. I used sticky velcro tabs to keep em together. Got the brochure, from Cali lightworks on the SS400 in front of me and it says what I posted in my thread earlier,grow pics.jpg

veg-230w
flower-320w
flower with UVB-345w
Haven't seen many Magnum grows, but i thought I'd give it a go. I used 1 SS 400 in a 2'7''x2'7''tent in soil, and it rocked that grow with 3 huge WOS Afghn Kush Ryders.(the main cola in my avatar) I got the first one on their grower feedback program, I liked it so much, I had to have another one, so I had to go out and buy a bigger tent, so I could grow a few trees!!!
