I’m a 4x4 tent is it better to run 4 5 gallon bucket rdwc or two 10 gallon I’m planning on running 4 autos this run under QB boards with megacrop nutes

So I’m running a 30 gallon rdwc system and I was wondering if my tap water would be okay to use? It has a ppm of 197 and EC of 395 which I’ve heard isn’t so terrible. The only problem is I know for a fact my hard city water contains small amounts of fluoride and of course chlorine/chloramine...

Hey there, I am a beginner looking to gain abit of clarity. I am looking into RDWC system consisting of 4 - 13 gallon buckets and an outside res tank. What are the options for water sources ? Is tap water sufficient? Any special precautions to think about when using tap water? If I didn't use...

Since the beginning I have had problems with leaves turning light green in between the veins, then slowly turning brown and crispy along the edges. This will work its way in towards the middle of the leaf and eventually the whole leaf will die. It has affected all plants, and I've never been...

Hi all, 1st time poster / long time reader. Plants (2) sprouted from seed just over 2 weeks ago (Oct 25). This is my first DWC grow and I've noticed some discolouration / brown spots appear on a few leaves in the past 2-3 days (may be hard to see on the pics..). I'm also noticing some upward...

I have 4 plants, 2 sterile n 2 with bennies in top fed dwc w air stones n temps below 75. Closer to 65 now. Their stems are all developing this kind of brown stringy surface, for some reason I thought it was just trying to make roots higher up (high ass:eyesmoke:) I have been spraying them with...

Might sound silly but just wondered what people tend to do with the large tank that auto fills the main RDWC system. Do you fill with the same solution strength thats in the main system? or something a little weaker and adjust the system on the fly? Does anyone just use it for water and then...

I am mid week 3 of veg and rust spots have been haunting me since week 1 and I tried nearly everything. A quick background on my setup: First time DWC/Autoflower strain Flora Trio GH 1/2 teaspoon/g all 3 first 2 weeks (1 teaspoon/g cal-mag) Increased to 1 full teaspoon/g beggining of week 3 (1...

Hello guys. I am new to dwc and trying to test the waters with it and switch from soil. To increase yields. I’m starting with a 5 gallon bucket and bubbler setup. I also got a 6” drip ring for transplants. (It’s easier for me to start seedlings in soil and then wash the soil off and transplant...

Have the system setup totally now. Got my first four in used autos for my first time. Figured it would be a good way to break it in. I started this project about 2 months ago. Some parts I've had a little longer used them in the last setup. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hello all, I've recently begun my first grow, a DWC/bubbleponics setup, 4 plants in 2 20gal totes. I'd made a post about this grow already as I was having big temperature worries. Babies seem to be happy keeping them below 85, & giving a small amount of silica ( i have been keeping track of...

Hello all, Ive been around weed for as long as I can remember but this is my first grow fully by myself, and my first time posting on this site I learned a lot about growing on this site 5 or 6 years ago, but when i finally went at it recently, i was surprised that i'd retained no information...

So I went to Lowe’s the other day and picked up some stuff. I bought 5 gallon commander XL buckets. The ones with the yellow lids. I’ve seen people using them on YouTube but I’m wondering if the plastic is safe for my plants? Also I bought some PVC piping. It says “schedule 40 - NSF DVW” on it...

Hi Guys, If the EC of the tap water is .6 before nutes would you way a filter is 100% needed? I’m adding hardly any which takes it up to .8 which is still probably too high for where they’re at. Currently trying to see why they don’t seem to be taking to the net pot well and I think it’s...

I’m building an RDWC system and I’m pretty stumped on the inline pump. I’ve looked at a few on amazon and all of them have bad reviews which worry me. Don’t want one that will die on me cuz that seems like it could be a real problem. So my questions are: Do you guy have any pump brands that you...

Hi Guys, Not new to this forum in terms of reading but newly joined to post. Not a complete beginner having done a few successful rounds on NFT but recently decided to venture into DWC for a change and to try something new. Problem is i seem to be falling at the first hurdle. I'm hoping...

I have been growing RDWC since I began 2 years ago. I run a sea of green, taking clones of my best plants and vegging in a 4x8 tent with a simple tray system. My main room for flower is 14 feet deep with a door on one end in the basement with a low ceiling. I hand 3 Fluence 2p lights over 12...
