Just flower any problems with bugs in coco though?simplest coco coir just depends on what you can and want to do.

Get a WaterFarm or a PowerGrower from General Hydroponics. So simple that even I could do it.

That's true. I don't run the WF in the warmer weather but there are decent inexpensive chillers out there. Although, they might cost about as much as the WF itself.

yup but its just one of those things u should have in that type of hydro imo that's why I haven't moved to it once I have the power I def will.

I would say so but I have no coco experience. One nice thing about the waterfarms is that they're a hybrid drip/RDWC so there's no shortage of dissolved oxygen and no shortage of modifications.

yes gotta agree just if the water gets to warm your plant could not do as well and could get root rot. but as op ask coco for me atleast I water anytime its dry I water with a little runoff but not a bunch but stay under 600ppm food feeds.

Coco......drain to waste hydroponics.......nothing simpler and no chiller required.

It's just my opinion, but it's just too simple to build your own R(ecirculating)DWC system. It doesn't require air stones/lines/pumps. The entire system uses gravity and one single pump to move water through the system. Also, unlike a lot of setups, an In-Line water pump can be plumbed our from the reservoir rather than using a submersible pump IN the reservoir which helps avoid heating up the water an awful lot.

The pumps there to supply a 3/4" manifold that branches to each site and reduces to 1/2" to create a waterfall. As the reservoir drains and the waterfalls fill the sites, the larger 2-3" black ABS piping is connecting all of them back to the reservoir, and feeds the pump.

yes but u have to remember still having water go thru air is enough for it heat up a slight bit so their is that to so if your room is in the 80's and your water should be at 69f. At least from what I read that's a big difference sometimes my room even gets up in the upper 80s so its gonna be all diff for everyone. but the one pump idea is good u just need to split the pressure equally a type of manifold what would u use?

You certainly have to have seen the thread?
I GOTTA LOSE THE AIR PUMPS! HOW?! Plus my awesome mini DWC :)
That's cool man. Pretty low-key. I think you'll be surprised at the pressure of mine. i can't remember now, but its some where around 5-600 gph

That thing is way overpriced. The whole thing sits on a very simple method of splitting the water to oxygen and hydrogen. In big system I’d be worried about the hydrogen gas... I was looking around and saw 2 more very interesting thing. First one called Carmin. I don’t really get how it...

The miniature system uses an inline.

Which part is that?

was asking about how u did the manifold. I found it out, also how is the pressure to all sites is it equal?
