cool mini split will work well. They aren't the greatest in Michigan, gets to cold over the winter for the compressors to work right. My Chiller is a sub zero chill King and i still opted to put it inside. They said it will run fine outside over winter but seems like it would be pretty hard on it.

What region do you live in?

I'll let you know in the summer how they do, they seem to work well right now and run very little.

The biggest problem i noticed is if you can't keep the humidity under 55% at 82 degrees it will cause the chiller lines to sweat and make the humidity spike past 65% when they start dripping. I run my chiller at 52 degrees with a 6 degree buffer.

They keep my room in check right now buts it's really cold outside. Before turning my co2 generator on i and only running 3 lights i actually had to install a 50k btu furnace in the room to keep it warm enough even with the lights on and fans off For the lights. You can see the furnace in the...

This is my new room

That's from 2011 lol. I did a couple dwc grows after that and quit growing. Bought a new house and couldn't grow here. just recently purchased my neighbors house so i could start growing again. Just got my rooms built actually doing soil right now to test it out.

First pic is clones day 1 2nd pic is clones at day 9 on that water level.

That's where I would start my water

When i was running dwc i would run the about 2" above the bottom net pot so the bottom 2" of hydroton was always in the water. I did that to make sure the clones were getting water and not drying up. It worked for me but I had a ton of air going to my pots, they would actually rumble from the...

I could see needing the bigger container then if you want 1# per plant. DE lights are bad ass, wish I could run them just don't have the ceiling height. I have a buddy who consistently gets 11-12# per harvest from a 4K watt de room, he's running 10g soil pots and veg for 2 month under t5s. I...

How long do you plan on vegging? I only planned on using around 5 gallon pots which worked for me in normal dwc but I was only vegging for 1 month after clones rooted. The 5 gallons filled with roots pretty well but in the end seemed sufficient for 6-8oz plants. Only thing i ran into problems...

I'll probably go the same route as you since I'm going to need 78 bulkheads lol. Once my system is built i won't have no need to disassemble it and move it. I will glue the pvc to the bulkhead and use bellow glue on the gaskets that make a seal on the bucket. I used cheapie bulkheads from...

I was looking at the photo of the bulkheads you showed. I was trying to figure them out. I couldn't tell if there was a rubber seal inside of it or if they are glue on type. I've never seen the spin tech ones but I'm under the assumption that there is an o ring seal inside or the bulkhead that...

I plan on building a few rdwc setups for my new rooms. Doing a soil run right now to see how the rooms environment does. Plan on doing 1st flower room with 2 - 6 pot rdwc setups, 2nd flower room with 4 - 6 pot rdwc setups and veg room with 4 - 6 pot ebb n flow setups. Clones start in the same...

Cool. I started doing some reading about rdwc and that's exactly what other people said too lol. Are those the 2" spin tight bulkheads? How do those work? Does the pvc slip into the bulkhead and the bulkhead has a rubber seal?

Couple questions. What's is the black thing on top of the pvc pipe where the poly pipe meets? How do you drain the system for water changes and maintenance?

Cool setup. Like it. You might wanna cover up your r.o. Setup you will start growing green algae in it shortly if it's in the same room as your lights or getting any substantial light. Look forward to watching your grow.

Got everyone into flower 13 different strains 34 plants. Tossed 2 plants that looked like they were having problems. Pic is 14 days into 12/12 about 6 plants are 7 days into 12/12. I decided to let those veg a little longer. Got a decent stretch when switching lights but was expecting more. I'm...
