New Sub here. Very impressive that you got a pollination and growth on the DWC setup with an AG plant. I'm a giant pumpkin/vegetable grower for many years. I also experiment with hydro projects. I had massive success with indoor fogponic cucumbers, I'm sure you would enjoy the video I made documenting the start to finish results. I could give 2 tips that might of saved your plant. 1. Aerate the growing solution with an airstone. 2. Bury the bin in the ground so the lid is level with the ground. This will drop the temp of your nutrient solution dramatically and give a much better chance at healthy roots. DWC roots want to be cold and aerated. Just my thoughts! :) great job man!
Thank you for the input and I am in agreement. I almost bought a solar powered air stone/pump for that reason. I like the simplicity of Kratky, and honestly with how much this plant was drinking daily I am a little okay with the fact that something went wrong considering how much food it consumed. Next year though i think I'll go in ground-DWC

Looks good. I agree needed some aeration in the bucket. Wife and I growing a giant ourselves just east of you in east mountains.
Nice! About how large is it at this point? Plans on entering it into the fair?
@@albuquerquegardening3004 it is our first try at a giant but it is around 75lbs right now. Maybe next year for the fair.
@@PokeRamus I'm right there with you. If anything it may be worth talking with some of the other people that enter. I'm really undecided as well
