Good day Mr. Heisenbeans, I just wanna day THANK YOU. You’re not going to believe this but I’ve been researching my first hydro grow. I came up with the EXACT system that you’ve built. I very lucky found your YouTube channel and immediately subscribed. I also started following you on here. You have the most detailed and step by step process. THANK YOU!!!!
My questionstoday is: Can I transplant plants grown in RDWC system to soil? And can you explain flushing and why would you do a flush prior to harvest or system cleaning or any major plant transitions? Thank you

Sounds great thanks. If get some pretty good results, I would like to clone the mother and then transfer them into soil. How can I get some of your seeds. I’d love to try some of your strains. But keep in mind I’m in a state that’s not culture friendly.... AT ALL.... but we’re working on that..

@Heisenbubble (thank you for your contribution excellent all the way around)
@spyralout (thank you for your contribution of your original file)
If anyone wants an updated easy to read spreadsheet with item names, pricing and links I have outlined all required items for the build as I will be building a system for myself.
The sheet is self calculating in addition has a budget column for you to insert pricing for items you may want to get from ebay, craigslist, offerup etc... as i would recommend. In the sheet i listed all the items I would used based on quality, durability and reliability.
This will give you an idea of the total cost to build the system you desire.

I've taken plants from dwc and put them in dirt but they gotta be small. It's easier to go from soil to dwc with smaller plants. I never really flushed. Just bring nutes down the last week to minimum levels.

Is it a good idea or a waste of time to grow autoflowers in this type system? I have been using soil and wanted to try this for a change. Thanks for the info if you have time.

I think it depends on the auto. But all would grow faster in RDWC than soil. So you will gain more girth in veg and mass and then that is what makes the flowers so it would have to be better or more yielding in mass.
Keeping the size under control would be a pita...they will all grow different maybe. I cant believe how fast they grow in RDWC.

On starting the plants, do you use 6 inch net pots and then when they outgrow the tote, just transfer to the buckets, net pot and all? Or, do you start in like 3 inch net pots and then transfer from the 3 inch pot to a 6 inch pot? Thank you.
Start in 6 and then just lift the whole pot and move to buckets

This is my first hydro grow and cannot say how thankful I am for Mr. Heisenbeans sharing his knowledge. Saved me a bundle for sure. I am using 6 - 4 gallon buckets and a 4 gallon epi. I did buy an RO system because our water is very hard and has all kinds of crap in it. I am really excited to try this grow. Have been growing in soil and have not done bad but just think this might be better. You would not believe this but I do not smoke AT ALL. Cannot because of part time job with USPS. Go figure. I do this for my lovely wife who has medical issues and have found that this is the only thing that gives her any relief.

This is how I started my DWC when I was still doing it. Five per 5g bucket.

Could you suggest a pump and or mfg. of a pump that works well with this system. I have one that I had as a spare and back up for a small pond out in my front yard but thought that there was some you find more suited for this job.
Thank you for your time,
