My RDWC Setup. I'd appreciate your input...

Looks very tight overall. I’m still learning hydro myself (still building system) so it’s nice to see what you’ve done.

Despite my lack of experience, the black vinyl drain line connecting your final two buckets together seems unnecessary and will likely end up being dead space. Other issue might be that your drain line diameter is pretty small and you may get root blockage.

Nice work all in all though!

Yup your 1 inch is too small if you let your plants get big.A 1000 ways to do hydro, they all work.Nice job.

Thanks for the advice DarthVaper84... I guess I'm always concerned that my 1" return will clog and cause a flood. So as a precaution, I have a couple 1" bulkheads for each bucket. If I get a clog, will give me time to catch it before any issues arise. Also, if on unlevel ground, water will find it's level.

Thanks for the advice Myke... So far so good... Been vegging for 2 months before switching to flower and knock on wood haven't had an issue!

I should say also that your influent manifold is sweet. :)
