I'm not sure about the water rez receiving "direct" light. I'd cover them with some foil if I were you =)

your chiller is in your room? No

Having DIY'ed many RDWC systems over the years, I can assure you that there's nothing magical about finding tubs and connecting them with hoses. Indeed, I made several improvements to the undercurrent design while reducing cost to the point where I'm quite sure I could recreate those systems for less than ten cents on the dollar compared to what you spent.

Professional growers know what makes a good grow; results. I look forward to seeing yours.

In case you think I'm just blowing smoke, here's a peek at mine;

i would just rather use my time differently than building a system. Im pretty much setting this up single handedly. So u save 10grand by spending a week building it. I work 40hrs a week to support my family and can only spend few hrs every night working on the grow. I dont have the extra time to shop and build. I compare it to driving a ford focus to a cadillac. Sure u will get there but.... Haha its mine tho. Ill double him up on his investment within a yr.

If your time is worth more than $10k a week I'd say stick with what you're doing because growing is a pay cut!

I'm not here to pick on you, I'm here to help and watch the show, brother.

Oh im not trippin its just i have more important things to do like jump thru all these hoops to get a certificate of occupancy before im supposed to operate. Going to be right under 90k before i harvest. Seems like a small price to be in the position im in. I have a chance to really grow a lot of weed. Ill sit back and hand trim while everyone else uses commercial ttrimmers and their quality is pathetic. Its crazy how hard a hit some flowers take when rolled in one those things

Having done that very thing, I'm afraid it's a losing battle; there aren't enough hours in the day to trim it all yourself and paying others is always a compromise between money spent and output quality.

If it’s a 1:1 it will probably make 500g n waste 500 gallons . (If you have enough pressure)

This is big reason why I always tell people to use the runoff from their dehuey. It's distilled so it needs no filtration.

That’s ok for new units
But

They can develop stuff & slime growing in the tanks n lines over time, I’ve cleaned lots of commercial units n they get gross.

I’ve never taken apart my gravity drain Quests tho, so not sure what the insides look like .

Nothing growing in them will hurt the plants.

Bleach or use a cleaner in the unit if it makes you feel better. Rinse well before using the runoff to feed plants, of course.

I'm not suggesting anyone drink the water.

That water is not distilled at all! Take a TDS meter and test it out, you'll be surprise how much stuff is your distilled water.

Not sure if you have said, but what do you do for sourcing cuts and/or genetics? Any ideas for strains for the good people of Oaklahoma?

I’m guessing it’s the ppm meter that needs a cal.

Distilled water comes from boiling. I have a quest dehumidifier, I tested my RO water, was at 6-7 ppm, tested the quest's output, 30-40ppm. No way I would use that water in a RWDC, maybe to water the plants outside the house...

Ps, nothing in my air, intake is filtered using carbon filter, another one inside the room...

You've clean hvac system, saw nasty stuff and would still be using it? :)

Stop posting bullshit.

Distilling is when materials are condensated from their vapor state. In a distillery, that's ethanol and water. In a grow room, just water unless something is very wrong lol That's the exact opposite of boiling.

The problem with the cannabis industry is that it's full of people who have never cracked a textbook and still think they know what they're talking about.
