    4 or 5 years ago I found this product and posted about it somewhere.. but after using it I did not see the same results as hydroguard in my rdwc systems, when using hydroguard I would have nice white roots throughout the grow, I was getting darker looking roots when using the AG stuff, did not...

    First Hydro/RDWC Setup (Recommendations)

    Keep your grow area clean and most importantly you have to clean the fuck out of your rdwc system between runs, I run bleach water for a day through the system, then flush with plain water really really well then after that I run 34% h2o2 at about ~10ml per gallon in ro water and let that run...

    Help with diy recirculating Dwc please!!!!

    Skip the uniseals and get some bulkheads.. current cultures ones are very nice. Can get cheaper if you go with smaller ones but I would not go less than 2" personally. If you go with the current culture ones you can get the root guards/filters as well, works with both the 2 and 3" ones. 3"...

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

    In case anyone was wondering the o2 grow emitters were a no go, bought 2 40 gal ones (over 700 dollars) and put them in my ~80 gallon rdwc system and after 5 hours of running the DO went from 7.9 to 8.1 only, so it did add oxygen but not nearly a fast enough rate. If you run them 4 hours a day...

    6 site dwc pot size maximum yield
