Well... im very interested in an 8 site recirculating dwc system since it suits my space quite well. But ive heard that sites furthest from the res suffer from nute dillution, as the plants closer to the res tend to suck them up first. Cant recall where i read that...

It rdwc tends to be problematic that way (or in other ways????)... i would probably go with and ebb and flow table... the only draw back there is plant count... i would have to go over my limit to maintain the yield i need...

Anyway, i guess im just wondering what the pros/cons are for rdwc and what are the best opitons in terms of pre-built systems?
Click to expand...
I'm starting a 4) 5 gallon square rdwc ( not undercurrent) with the waterfall effect with slow top drip feed. 4 diffusers and 2 round air pucks in resevoir. I'll be growing in a 5x5x6'11 gorilla tent and gonna try to put res outside tent. Will see if being in basement will be enough or will kick in the water 18.5 Liters cooler broken down and use the coil and compressor. Coil will be place in a sealed bag.... haven't got that far yet best of lucks and any advice would be highly appreciated

I had the same idea of putting the res outside the space. I think itll help a lot. I suppose it will depend on flow rate and res size though...

Ya exactly. My basement is about 65 to 68f through the winter. Not sure if that would be cold enough though to cool the warm water coming into the res if it is circulating right back out again. If the res was big enough, possibly. But itd have to be pretty big to dissapate the warmth. The proportion of res to however many sites would be way out of whack, i suspect. In a cooler basment... hmmm...

Water evaporating from the res will cool it quickly, especially if there's a lil fan blowing across the water.

Hi all, back from my bros in FL and trying to acclimate to the f'n cold here! Looks like the timing worked out well all around for the veggers and clones. Will be sorting out which seeds to start and pop some into cups later today :)

Veggers are ready to go into the flower room today at some point. They're in good shape going into flowering and should fill those 3 gal pots nicely :) The smaller one's in the second pic are 4x 2gal to flip about 3 weeks from now and 1x 1gal Blue Ripper male that I kept to make sure the clones are rooted before culling it. The smaller one's in the second pic were clones transplanted from party cups on 12/30.

All except one set of the clones are also ready to transplant the best one's into party cups. Front-left are the Blue Ripper F1 male that were cut the day before leaving so they were only in there for 7 days and one is already rooted :)

Cheers Bbc, back in business, new year and time to pop some beans, excited about doing some classic strains, likely starting with some Ace Panama regs :weed:



Cheers Evil, nice haul on the autos, looking like a good stash out of that run bongsmilie

The scale will tell the tale soon enough but the quality is A1 so far. Nugs are very dense though so misleading.

Ah yes time indeed! I'm finishing up the final touches on my newly built 8x4 so I can have better control on my environment, last summer in the full 15x30 space killed my wallet, this winter I didn't bother to try, I'm getting the haven't planted in months shakes! Ordered some big worm strains to run with my rm3s and BB stock, can't wait to plant!

Yeah bigger isn't always better, that space should be easier to manage and easier on the pocketbook for sure. Good luck with the new beans, some nice genetics in those breeders :)
