    DIY RDWC - First Timer - Any Advice Welcome

    Its in a 3x3 tent so can only do 1 plant when scrog’d as it takes up about 2.5 x 2.5, with this RDWC system I will have about 7 gallons circulating vice 3gal if I did normal DWC. I took this approach over a normal DWC to control res temps/PH and water changes better. The res has a ball valve at...

    Ya the rubber sheets work great for making your own gaskets. Here is the single site build I just finished with a water fall manifold.

    I GOTTA LOSE THE AIR PUMPS! HOW?! Plus my awesome mini DWC :)

    Ya I was just trying to make it work a little more clean before putting glue/sealant on it. Looks like all the problem was just the seals that came with the bulkheads being grooved because the flat rubber from lowes fixed the leak

    It was the seals that came with the bulkhead. Put them on a square tote and still leaked. So I cut some seals from rubber gasket from Lowes and no more leak. The seals that came with the bulkheads had some weird grooves in them and were not flat. The rubber sheet was flat and has no leaks now.

    thats exactly how I have it. Threads and nut on outside with seal on inside. Still leaks. Im using round buckets which may be the problem. Ill grab some 5gal square totes tomorrow from lowes and see if that provides resolution. May be better to have a completely flat surface anyways.

    ya I undersized it purposely so I had to thread it on. I’ll give the silicone a try, thanks for the link. What a pain in the a$$!

    Man I dont know what voodoo magic you guys are applying to your bulkheads but I cant get mine to stop leaking. I got these 2” bulkheads and it keeps leaking around the seal both on the res and site buckets. I put the non nipple flat part on the inside so it made the seal flush up to the wall and...

    The things I wish I had known starting a grow tent

    DWC by itself kinda sucks. But a recirculating system (RDWC), its pretty hassle free and provides more control and faster growth.

    6.5fX4.5ft tent setup

    I keep my house around 71-73. On a 3x3x72 tent that has one 450w LED in it, I have a 4” fan blowing air in and another 4” sucking out the top. Exhaust air is about 79-81. Hopefully that provides some guidance on your fan issue question. But you could drop the temps by removing the side lights...
