The current rdwc I have running have 2" piping I have no experience with other sizes but seems to work great. I think I'll stick to 9 gallons it seems to be truth bigger is better. Res doesn't need to be changed as often and pH and temperature of the water seems to remain more stable

DAMNNNN!!!!! They are some serious roots. As someone said to me imagine you're growing roots not plants, if the roots are big and healthy then the rest will follow

No they would both run on the same system since the buckets are the same height as the res and the res has a float valve that is connected to a tank so it could be so simply which I might just go ahead and do

I'm doing 8 in an 8x4 tent but I'm not vegging for long maybe 30-40 days I have everything running perpetually so I have to keep it moving. So I was just wondering wether the bigger pot would equal a better yield.

That's fantastic man, so you did bugbees course did ya? I was going to do it but spent the money on the alien system instead. I knew I was always going to end up doing hydro and staying with it. It's much easier once you figure everything out. That paper goes into amazing detail I didn't know it...

Thanks for that man. I have a add back tank attached to a header bucket with a float valve. So you would fill the add back tank with plain water? I've been filling it with nutes and also changing the system weekly. Pain in the ass.

I'm just deciding on wether to go 9 or 5 in dwc. Without vegging longer is it worth going 9 over 5 or is it a waste of time and nutes.

I like how ya don't need an air pump or tubes and the speed the nutes move around looks great. Is it noisy much

If I had 2 clones and vegged them the same length of time but one is in a 20l/5gal and the other is in a 36l/9gal would the yield be bigger in the bigger bucket or not considering they had the same length of veg

I would have loved to get one of these systems but space is an issue. I'm on my second run using their silver rdwc system and love it

That's a great mentality to have, growing roots. That's what brought me to dwc. The first grow was stellar but this one is shit. So this all happened after the res change so it has to be that. The roots look good. I'll give it a few days the cut them down, they stopped drinking

So do you think it was cold shock. The water temp during the change was 50f. I have it up to 68 since last night no sign of improvement yet

Second run at rdwc, the Plants have no life in them. They are droopy and some of the leaves are crispy at the tip. We are having a few freezing cold days here at the moment so I put in an oil radiator which I've noticed has now caused the humidity to be down at 30%. I also changed my res two...

Ok but I can't take them out of the net pot with the roots going through maybe it would be better to lower the water level do you think, stop any bubbles wetting it and let it dry out

Thanks man they are very heavy maybe I'll squeeze some water out

This started when I moved her from the early veg dwc tote to the large rdwc alien system. It's a couple of plants that have done this. My water is on point my lights are dialed back I don't know what is happening. The only thing is they are in 4" rockwool cube that I've never used before. Should...

I'll just add to this that I think the issue is resolved. I raised the water right up to the net pot, did a better job at blocking the light, changed the res and added silver bullet. But most importantly it's worth noting that my pH pen was out by a whole digit. So when it said it was six it was...

Gunna raise the water proper tomorrow

Great idea I have some black plastic soffit I'll use that. I didn't know that k is inhibited at that temp. Such a small margin for error

The water temp is 19°c this is the first week I've had them in the tote with water and air. Weak nutrient solution. I can't get hydro guard anymore for some reason I can only get silver bullet which is the same thing. I'll put some of that in. I noticed some light is getting down into the res...
