Sorry about the HPS can't move the bucket BC they are plumbed together.

I was using jacks hydro pro prior in coco. This is my first time in rdwc and read many people having good luck with foliage pro from start to finish, so I figured I would give it a shot lol.

Alright. I will flush the system and just use the foliage pro starting tomorrow. So the foliage pro isnt too low in phosphorus?

I'm using my tap water. Mixing the bloom in for extra P, as the foliage pro lacks in P

No, didn't think it was needed with my tap water and dynagro line. Apparently now that you mention it I may be wrong lol

Running in rdwc ec is 1.1, pH is 5.8, running dynagro FP and bloom 50/50. This lady is about 6 weeks into flowering.

Awesome, that's what I thought. Just not sure why I'm not having the major growth that some are reporting with RDWC. Oh well, its only my first grown since switching. Live and learn right?

I have an 8 site RDWC, I am running perpetual, 4 every 4 weeks. I think I know the answer to this, but I will ask anyways. I am feeding at a EC of 1.2, pH 5.8 rock steady. Water level is dropping, EC and pH are staying the same. They are growing for sure, not huge explosions, but steady growth...

I personally just picked up a Pondmaster (danner) AP-100 for my 8 site 5 gal bucket RDWC. Holy crap what an amazing pump! I will never go with anything else again!

That's insanity! Beautiful for sure! What is your EC for veg and flower? I just switched to DWC and I can't seem to get anywhere near the growth rate as some. I mean they are growing much faster than my years in coco, but nothing like this!

These girls are always a little slow to show flowers. Even when I was in coco hitting with straight bloom nutes took about till week 3. I usually let them go about 9 weeks total. I do plan on hitting them with some dynagro bloom 50/50 with FP soon

Tuesday will be 2 weeks since flip. I have seen some major root explosion, not too much top growth though. I hope to see some more now that I switched the type of food that I am using. Right now my pH is staying rock solid at 5.8 Water Temps Solid 67-68 Feeding: Tap water Silica Dyna-gro FP UC...

Chiller is rated from 400-1230gph according to the instructions. That's quite the range...lol. Maybe I'll stick with the pump I have and just run that through the chiller before it goes to the buckets and eliminate the 2nd pump. That should slow down the water some too.

I'm going to tame my pump down a bit. It's heating up my water too much and my chiller is running too much to keep up for it being December. So if I'm running a 9 bucket system including the control bucket it's about a total of 30 gallons somewhere around 400-500gph?

Yeah it was a little hard to swallow over $100 for 9 4 gal buckets. I will continue my search

It is big. But I think it will mellow out once I get all 8 buckets attached. Right now I only have 4 and the amount of DO in each bucket is insane! No more leaks using the GH areoflo 1.25" grommets. Finally! Still looking into other bucket options locally though. I was going to get those square...

Those actually look perfect! Yeah the 3/4" even the 1" are too small. My 1 1/4" has a little trouble keeping up with my waterfall pump.

Using the right bit. Just too much playing around with trying to seal the leaks.

Let me know if you find something that works nice. I've given up on the buckets. I have a stack of 11 cracked ones now. Need to find something adapter that isn't too expensive. Spent way too much on stuff that has failed

Yeah I'm really trying to go a lot less water. That's why I am trying the buckets.
