Dwc

Quick question i was putting together a DWC system and I was wondering if I should use the 1267gph pump I have to top feed my set up from the reservior while a bubble stone and air pump aerates the water below. Or if I should keep it all in one conatined unit having the water level high enough to reach roots while still allowing space for air? My only concern was full saturation of roots which I know will eventually happen anyway. Newbie question rather ask a dumb question then make a dumb mistake.
THanks :joint:-"Maybe I should get just a little high"

I would get the smallest pump you can to pump water to the tops of your plants. You want to make sure the water feeds back to the res faster than you pump it to the tops of the plants or you'll overflow your buckets.
 
Thanks for the Advice I have a 150gph pump that I could use for that. I am going too run two 15 plant setups in two seperate rubbermaids. The plan at first was too possibly run the 1267gph and spilt it off into the two units perhaps using a pvc system interconnected between the two plant setups with individual plant sprayers at each site. I have a couple kinks too work out but so far things are going good. I have my mothers started already and there looking good. White Widow,Hindu Kush,Crystal,Ice,BlueBerry. Grow Journal soon too follow!!!! : )

What size rubbermaid are you using where it fits 15 plants? I had the 50 gallons and I had crowding issues with only 6 plants.
 
Whats the cycle of your plants i have 2 35g running 15 in each. Im doing a scrog or sog. But Im doing a very short veg.Im running a total 12 week cycle from seed first grow then clones off the mothers after that.
