I have a 4x4 room
I have a wilter...i just can't seem to peg in on water level ..i have a dwc drain to waste.
All other criteria I meet as far as ph 5.7...68 degrees room temp and water......58 rh..it just seems I can't get her like my soil plants outside...this is my first hydroponic grow...i wonder should I just close the room..and try to retransplant outside..

Its were im not using a resivior for recirculation of the h20..so I feed once a week into the bucket top off every so often and change the h20 every 2 ...it seems i can't find the correct h20 levels to keep a happy plant..when i seen her happy i marked the bucket but it doesn't seem to be consistent in that spot

Isn't that a standard DWC system just in a single pot as you change and top.the res as needed?

Then RDWC used a seperate res and circulated the water?

Just interested to know

Yes pretty much , its my first hydroponic so I didn't go all out with a recirculating system but I'm not having any luck with it..the growth seem good , I constantly have new growth but.it just don't look happy..i call it drain to waste cuz thats what the feed schedule calls it for my set up

Yes I got 2 stones and a pump fit for s 60 gallon tank ...i also have an internal pump for the drip ring and circulation. This lady is full it has a lot of growth ,but the same breed outside is smaller but perky. It has no bush around the stalk like the indoor they all are the same age..i may have feed it to much nutrients as the ph was good, but the ppm was off. I adjusted the ppm back to what the feed criteria is so hopefully she will get happy like her sisters plus maybe overwater.
Its my fisrt hydroponic...so my curve seems to be big..lol

You have all the bases covered, but one thing that caught my eye is that you are using DTW nutrient levels rather than recirculating. What EC is the water in the bucket at?
 
I dropped the h20 more by 1 gallon a few hours ago and she reacted pretty good..ill send photo in the am to make sure..water levels a mugg...daaang

Hey hell I always went by tds..but I'm at 780 now...i was way over by 3x. Food scheduke recommended 600 to 800
 
My hydro is resting now after all the overfeeding hopefully she'll finnally perk up as i finally dialed in the nutrients

Last picture looks like calmag deficiency.
What's your PH & EC??
Is water oxygenated?
Water temps?
Roots in water? What do they look like?
What light do you have on?
How high is the water? If its too high you can actually suffocate the plant regardless of having airstones in res.
