We are home in AZ for the '24-'25 grow season. Seven Dutch Passion "Auto Power Plant" seeds are in H2O and the tent is set up ready for this season's crop.
The tent set up:
Last season I used a DWC system and the grow was problematic, in other words the whole crop sucked with problems of water temp control, root rot, water and nute EC plus pH going wild. This season I will use a RDWC system with an added "water chiller", RO water v. tap water and a different AC unit. I hope and think this system will address all of last season's problems. If it doesn't I will go back to soil and forget Hydroponics.
This Artisun RDWC system is pretty neat. First heavy, no leak,
plumbing connectors and pipes. It also allows an outside the tent water
supply with a float valve to keep the water level constant and a stand
pipe to keep water level constant in the "grow" pots. The only negative
is it limits you to four plants in a 5'X5' tent and that might not be a
negative.
If all seven "pop" three will transfer to Coco Coir in fabric pots and eventually moved outside. At the end of January I will add several Barney's Farm "Sour Diesel Auto" plants to the outside grow. I haven't a clue how a outside grow will work here in Tucson over Winter and Spring but with using Auto Flower plants it is worth a try.
BTW, as much as I love Texas and Texas food it is good to be back in Tucson, AZ where weed is legal.
