    My rooms were brutally long.I usually would change the reservoir when It got half empty, only because I was worried about salt build up. A bubbler for each bucket. Lots of bubbles.

    Yeah I use only 1-2ml per 20 gallon fill. Which by my calculations is still allot. Some people choose to pre dilute but its worked well for me that way.

    Dwc is not complicated at all!!! But are you in actual DWC? Or are you in a recirculating system? They both need to be ran differently. Most commercial facilities use drip systems which is basically a recirculating system from a big res. Actual DWC is by far the Fastest way to grow. Super easy to fix lock outs and deficiencies because you can just get new water!!! You know immediately if you overfeed. And you only need to check the res PH!!!

    Awesome, thank you. @m1ghtym0u3e

    @kapsndkolas It’s dwc, individual buckets with no res. They do have the drip ring up top that pulls water from the bottom so I guess technically it recirculates to a degree. Idk how much though, I’m still a few weeks away from setting everything up.

    Funny, back in the day. My setup came with the Drip rings, but I couldn’t figure out how to work them. So basically I ran a kracky setup with a bubbler. All single units.

    You will be fine. I start my seeds in water and scoot towels. When germinated i transfer in aero garden plug and let it build roots. When i get à good root system then i tranfer in buckets. Be sure not to over feed and ph 5.8.
