Spider farmer DWC
Wanted to share my DWC run for anybody looking into Spider Farmer’s DWC system or already using it.
Current setup:
Spider Farmer G1000W
Spider Farmer 5x5x6.5 Smart Grow Tent
AC10 controller/power strip
Spider Farmer PAR meter
2 oscillating 10-speed fans
16L humidifier
Spider Farmer DWC system
Spider Farmer Controller
Air stones & 2 Pumps.
This run is 8 regular Gizzard Punch from The Captain’s Connection, week 6 extended veg, day 36.
A few things that have helped a lot
I rotate 8 frozen water bottles twice a day to keep water temps between 68–72°F. It’s simple, but it works.
The 16L humidifier, is the best for maximum efficiency and not needing to refill everyday.
The biggest thing I’ve learned is to monitor VPD daily and weekly and keep adjusting the environment as the plants respond. Once they start building real mass, small swings in the room matter a lot more. Keeping VPD in check and staying ahead of those changes has made a big difference in growth and overall plant performance.
Good airflow through the canopy is another big one. Once things start filling in, you want steady movement through the entire plant structure, not just air moving above the tops.
For anyone considering the Spider Farmer DWC setup, this is what it can do when you stay consistent and actually dial in the environment.
I’ll add pictures so people can see the plant health and structure.
