I've been in coco/perlite for a few years now. I have three x 4'x15' rows of plants I want to change to RDWC.
I am wanting to completely ditch Coco/Perlite, Pots, Trays and go to RDWC. I grow in a clean basement, lugging 10 gal pots of coco up and down the stairs on a monthly basis and 2 cu/ft bags of coco then dealing with all that trash is starting to be too much of a pain when I'm growing 36 plants. (Caregiver)
My main idea on a system is something like this except my pump would be an inline and go straight back into the res over the T fitting.
I know I'm going to need a chiller, not sure what size yet, I assume at least a 1/2 HP for a 8 site system in "27 gal" HDX Storage totes?
I plan to run 3" bulkheads & plumbing and I'm thinking for an 8 site setup with that large of tubs I would probably need a 800 GPH pump?
Any tips/considerations for the setup or issues I might face? Here's the grow space, each row is identical.
