Already been discussed. You can chop and leave the stem, and the roots will not die. I'll be growing all one strain.

Not really worried about that.

Why would I need to move anything and in what way would multiple plant sites be easier to maintain than just one?

Yes I already have a Active Aqua 1/4 HP chiller.

Yea, not sure about the reliability and durability over over the course of several grows. I just want to buy the best once and not have to worry about leaks or having to redo everything in the future... Plus I seen plenty of DWC and triditional RDWC setups. I haven't really seen anyone do what...

I just looked them up. They are "terminal adapters" (whatever those are), and are designed for use in electrical purposes. I'll look into them. Thanks @Drop That Sound

Yea that's what I'm thinking. Doesn't make much sense to add multiple buckets and plumbing for a 4x4 space. A multiple site RDWC will be using the same nutes, etc anyway. Using a large container to accommodate the plants makes the most sense, and waste space and money, and simplifies the...

I know what the standard setup is. I'm wanting to hear and brainstorm the merits of having a RDWC system with 1 site instead of a 4-8 site set-up. This could be ran with a waterfall and res outside the tent as well, so that's not something I'm taking into account at the moment. The only down...

I'd like to hear some pros and cons of the standard RDWC setup, e.g., four separate site 5 gallon buckets, vs having a RDWC system with one huge bucket, e.g., large 40 gallon bucket, with multiple net pots. Circulate the water into the 20 gallon bucket back into a res...

Thank you, but I don't see 2" or 3" listed there

Yes I know. If I were going to use round buckets, I'd go with uniseals. Just from my own research, bulkhead are more reliable. I rather just avoid any potential problems from the start. P!us I purposely spend the extra money on square buckets already.

What bulkhead are you all using? Where did you buy them from? I'm looking to buy 2" or 3" bulkhead only please . All I've come across are Current Culture bulkhead which are over priced. I'm looking for alternatives that you have real-world experience with.

I have square buckets, else I'd have already opted for the 5 gal bucket net lids.

Does net pot size matter when running a RDWC grow? Will there be a real difference between using a 2", 3", or 6" net pot?

How thick is the platic on the HDX totes? Read in another thread that the polymer was thin compared to 5gal buckets. I'm not talking any chances with root rot. I already ordered an 1/4 chiller on Amazon. Should be here Thursday.
