Whats a good diameter for return lines in a small rdwc? I'm just afraid of clogging a return with roots and flooding the room.
Maybe put the return pipes near the top off the res level??
500 gph would turn over 20gals in like 2.5 minutes. Is that really needed?
Any good rule of thumb for turnover rate? I would like to build a small rdwc.
Ok I will change the whole res to maybe 500 ppm
So you just add the labled npk totals to get your final npk ratio?
So two parts micro, two parts grow, and one bloom gives you a 7-3-5 npk? (Pretty much 3-1-2)
And whats your thoughts on calimagic? Needed that im on RO water?
Hey I'm going to start a thread. Plz forgive my laziness to search but seems useless for some things.
I have a one plant DWC 5 gal res. Ph has been stable pretty much about 5.5-5.9 (drops test)
About 68 res temp with def guard and ewc brew.
RO+Calamagic+GH flora trio 1:1:1 at 475 ppm

I have purchased a couple bags of happy frog and a few bags of ocean forest. From two different local stores.
The first bag of happy frog I bought was full of gnats as soon as I got it home. Must have overpaid on that bag
No ants, no microscope, plenty paranoia. I'm learning slowly.
One of those plants was male and was tossed. The other one is week2 flower and is a freakin too big.
Yeah I just had a lil gnat problem, all good now. I was spending way too much time on the internet, somehow convinced myself I had root aphids lol.
Some species of ants share a symbiotic relationship with aphids. Ants are cool
Dont put cable in a conduit. Use thhn.
Maybe 4/3 romex panel to attic-Juction- #6thhn to subpanel. #8 Ground should do.
Good for 60 amps easy. Dont forget your ground rods.
I haven't watered at all since the first set of pictures.
Soil is still a little damp towards the root ball. I just feel like the new growth looks weak and wrinkley. The lights don't really put off heat toward the plants.

Here is what they look like today. Starting to look a little thirsty. Been 5-6 days since watering, I did a EWC tea.
Notice the bottom shoots throwing out some three leafs.
My sticky traps seem to only catch gnats as far as I can tell.
Going to give them plain water tomorrow 6.3 ish PH...
Are you comfortable working with electrical at all? This best grow light for small grows are going to be a DIY COB build.
Definitely need to understand AC/DC theory and know/learn to solder.
I have 320watts of cree LED in my 3×3 closet. You could put the LEDs 3inchs from the canopy I bet with...
