Virgin Grow - RDWC, Why Not?

BendBrewer · Jun 15, 2011

I run the top feeders 24/7. Using GH Flora series with DiamondNectar and a microbe tea I learned about here at RIU. Used some Open Seseme at the beginning of flower and have started introducing KoolBloom.

Thanks for the comment!

Cheers

Ok, cool. The way I have it setup is 4 buckets connected at the base of the buckets, two of them have overflows higher up that flow back to rez and all have top feed. Is that what you have - I didn't see where the flow back to the rez happens?

I run my veg room in series. 3 bucket "chains" connected with 1" tubing.

In the flower room each bucket flows out to the 1" tubing 'manifold' for lack of a better word.

I see, so the 1" manifold runs along the bottom/floor and then rises up into the rez. This rise is how you maintain the water levels in the buckets?

BendBrewer · Jun 15, 2011

the water level is the same in the buckets as it is in the res. Played around with the flow out of the pump to balance it out. I have a float valve in the res connected to another bucket that sits on top of the res that keeps the water level constant. I add 4.5 gallons to that top off bucket every 4 days or so.

Thats one nice lady you got there m8.

Thanks man. Here are those plants I LST'ed. This is day 19 of veg. They exploded. Might have to flip them under that 400 while the plants under the 1000 finish up. Whatever I do, I need to hurry though.

They all look great man! Keep em comin

LST looking great man! I was amazed at how my plants reacted to the LST and I don't understand why anyone would top their plants instead.

Mine have been in the system ten days. I hope my plants take off like yours. So you really think I should go with the bennies huh? I think I may take your word for it. My water temps hit 78 today and I just cant have that happen again. My roots are in the water now. So what do I need to get to start this "Tea" up??

Mind giving me a breakdown on your RDWC, and how I could duplicate it?

BendBrewer · Jul 13, 2011

Thanks. I am really liking round 2 though. Try to update you from cutting to today which is about 3 weeks into flower.
