So you are growing in high temps? I don't add anything to Flora Gro. If you have high temps then you have to buy hydrogaurd stuff. I never had to and my rez hovers around 70-72 degrees.

You'll need to add more rocks to cover all the holes so no light can hit the res water. Light penetration = algae.

I'm an advocate for running hydro sterile with chlorine using regular household bleach or Pool Shock. 3ppm is good for DWC. Here's a dilution calculator http://www.foodsafe.ca/dilution-calculator.html

I would advice you not using organics in hydro, just a complete plant food in the reservoir is all that is needed. Cheers!

bro if you look...
you can see I use 10" net lids with coco
There is a gallon of nutes inside the bucket.

I do this to get soil type roots & hydro type roots at the same time.

I top dress the coco roots
(Great White Shark & Hi Brix)

& DWC feed the hydro roots.
(Normal ppm feeds.)

If you look real close you can see the air stone line on the right.

Your current system is how I started... just keep this in mind for next time

I fucked up many grows thinking that I needed add that bacteria to hydro.

Advice I'm certain of:
DO NOT add beneficial bacteria on your first grow using DWC especially when you're not cooling the buckets.

From what I've learned, 18/6, 20/4, 24/0
It doesn't matter.
Its all about DLI, and optimizing that.
There is some argument a few hours of dark is good for a plant though
But DLI really dictates how many hours of light you give.
If you are pushing 650 ppfd with 18 hours of light, thats around 42 DLI and really good number.
But if you went to 24 hours, that would be 56 DLI. Those levels are too high without co2 enrichment and are a waste of light, electricity and money.
