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...

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.

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?

I've grown in FF soil and also in coco. I'm thinking about moving to a RDWC setup... I already ordered a 1/4 water chilling, and 2" uniseals. Now I'm just trying to get the rest of my supplies. To get to my question, I'm debating on whether to go with eight 8 gallon square buckets vs eight...

Can someone explain in layman's terms how you would do a perpetual grow in hydro? What's the logistics of the time frame in taking clones, rooting them, veg, and flowering without running out of space in the flowering room, and, being that it's a hydro setup, how are you going about transferring...

Just curious. What water chiller are you all using for DWC and the like?

I should first clarify that I do not sell. I have however came across a few threads were sellers are being belittled. My question is I guess why is it seen as such a bad thing on a MJ forum of all places?

Hello, I'm doing my first CoCo grow (well trying to anyway). I've wasted about $100 worth of seeds so far with this problem. I purchased a bale of General Hydroponics CocoTek, rehydrated in PH'd 6.0-6.5 tap water. Tap water was around 200 ppm, and coco run off including tap water was around 350...

I've previously have grown in FoxFarm soil; however, to cut down on cost, I've decided to grow in coco coir for the first time. I brought General Hydroponics CocoTek via Amazon. After I re-hydrated the block, I tested the run off with my PPM meter, and I got a reading of approx 500 ppm (250 for...

I've grown using T5 for veg and HPS for lowering in the past. I had 2x600w and 1x1000k grow lights, but 1 600w and 1000k were stolen. Now I need another light source for my new grow, so I'm researching and am interested in LED lighting for decreased heat and electricity. Can some recommend some...

I'm doing a DIY reverse pressure under current RDWC system with 2" pipes. My question is what size pipe should I use for the return pipe and why? I'm asking because I seem a smaller return line in most other setups I've seen.

How often have you all experienced root rot with your (R)DWC systems? From what I've read, even with running a chiller, keeping light out, using hydro nutes, and with high DO, some have still had root rot issues. I'm just curious know how prevalent is root rot and other infections and diseases...

I'm planning out and buying supplies for my first rdwc grow. I have one question that has been bugging me. I usually see others running a multiple 5 gallon bucket under current system with a larger reservoir. My question is, isn't the water level in the res going to be the exact same as the...

Hello all. I've been away from the forum and growing for about 3 years, but now I'm back. I previously grew in soil, but this time around and going forward, I want to grow rdwc. I'm currently in the process of researching and buying equipment. To get to the point, I'm about to order a Active...

I'm wanting to setup a grow room in a spare bedroom of my rented apartment. I want to use 2 600w hps in the flowering tent and one 600w mh in the veg tent along with a intake fan etc... I'm wondering how you all who are using multiple 600w and/or 1000w lights are going about not tripping a...

I watered my plants, left for 4 days, came back, and seen that my lights were off the whole time in the 4x4 tent. Because of that, the soil stayed pretty damp. Normally the plants (that are in 3gal pots) would have started to wilt a little, but they were as wet as when I left. Anyway, the top...

Four part question. I want to build a timed drip system to auto water my plants that are in soil. I already have the stakes, tubing, and pump. I'm going to use a 5 gallon bucket for the reservoir for right now. My question are: Can I still use Fox Farm nutes that were meant for soil (Grow...

Okay I have one plant that I vegged for about a month and a half (maybe a little longer). It was extremly bushy, but vertical growth was slow. Because of it's lack of height, I let it veg longer. The problem I have now is that after I threw it in to flower at under a foot tall, the damn thing...

I forgot to receive PH my nute mixture which was about a PH of 5. Should I be okay?
