Have you guys ever tried rapid rooters? Plug seed in, put in Hydroton. I can get a 30 pack for like $15 at my local hydro store.

Learning how to clone would be awesome but I’m so torn between trying to clone and trying different bud. This is going to my only source for green and it’s not like I have a whole lot of room to grow.

The flora trio is what I’m used to using so I’m going to stick with that until I can really eat the system working. I try not to throw too many new things my way. If the seeds are from the same strain do you think I will have that much of a problem? Especially since I plan on training them.

I appreciate the input man. I just live in the country so growing in dirt seems like I’d be fighting bugs left and right. I used to do bubble buckets but I want to be able to scrog and i need to have something like an rdwc where I can measure necessary factors.

Sounds good man thanks a lot. Does it matter if I just use clear pvc cement and primer I got it at Home Depot of the Oatey brand.

If I get the slip/ thread ones I wouldn’t need to weld the threads together since I’m just going to be slipping the pvc in. I probably should weld that though correct? I think having the slip in ones will make all the different since there are less failure points in the system.

So I can’t find any slip slip ones. They have slip thread ones. Those shouldn’t give me any problems since I will slip my 2” pvc in there any weld it shut right?

Dude by all means throw some suggestions my way. I really like that idea but I do want a res so it’s easier to maintain I can cut and cover a small hole by the return to manage the root system. If I were to go smaller with my res would I need to lift it so the tops are the same length to the...

My closet is only 55 x 66 which is why I had to down size to a smaller tent. So your suggesting not having a control res at all? The only reason I had so much pipe is so I can keep the under current. I thought in order to keep DO oxygen in your rootball you need to have a constant current...

The only problem with that is I don’t have 3 of the same strain seeds. I heard that’s a no go for growing in the same bucket.

Yes, yes there was.

Okay here is a sketch of what my next pro type is going to work I’m thinking one 55 gallon hdx container with 2 net pots. One 27 gallon hdx container as my res. I have a hole already existing for my 2” line and would rather have 2 extra pvc 90s than worry about patching another hole. The...

That’s kind of what I’m feeling man. It sucks but what yah going to do. I’m kinda looking at it and in a 4x3 tent I may just need one big bucket. I never planned on growing two strains at the same time anyway. With one 55 gallon hdx container it would be so much less complicated. 2 buckets...

I’ve heard that rubbing some petroleum jelly will help that problem. I need to find a way to get my stuff apart. Everything but the threads on the bulkheads are welded so I’m kind of at a breaking point. I have figured out that it’s not the bulkheads leaking though both of my leaks are from...

I’m going to try and save these bulkheads but if this doesn’t work I may try uniseals. they seem to be built for flexible plastic and stuff Of that nature. At least that’s what I could find, Have you had any experience with them? I know leaks are the nature of the beast and I’m sure that I...

The only part that I have created was the waterfalls to the buckets themselves. What’s giving me problems is the bulkheads I bought. At least the threads. I’m going to try and salvage these at only 2 of my bulkheads are actually giving me problems I’ll be back to give an update hopefully later today

But wouldn’t I produce more DO if all my intake went through the waterfalls instead of my intake line and pressure would return it all to the control res.

But wouldn’t I produce more DO if all my intake went through the waterfalls then 2” return line?

So after reading some stuff online I realize that there is a slight angle to one of the pipes that’s leaking and it may be causing some of my problems. I may try and go the uniseal route. After looking at my build I kind of think that the pipes that connect my intake are kind of redundant...

don’t let my failures discourage you man. I’m just learning the rdwc game.
