Alright so I'm in the planning stages of my first attempt at RDWC and I want to make sure I understand how to build my setup correctly. I will be growing in a 2x4 tent using a 27-gal tote as the site bucket (the one with the yellow lid and black tub) and a 5gal bucket as my reservoir which will...

I love the trash can! Haha that's great. I have a 5gal bucket and the 27g tote that I think I'm going to use because I like the idea of things being more stable with the increased volume of water. Plus, needing to change the res less often.. The gallon jugs of the GH Flora Trio is relatively...

Will the fact that the two buckets are different size create problems? I thought as long as the pipes are big enough there shouldn't be a problem. I do have multiple of those yellow/black totes so I could just use two of them but it'd be a fuck ton of water for only one plant haha.

Would it be overkill to use one of these 27gal totes for a single plant connected to a smaller 5gal res outside the tent? I have a couple leftover from when I moved apartments. I read that having a higher volume of water helps prevent pH swings and allows you to leave it unattended with less...

Good morning Rollitup! Thanks for the continued feedback. I did come across that Cobalt Aquatics pump on Amazon as well but I feel like there are better options out there... I found this on amazon "Aqua TOP Powerhead 158gph 8W" --- I can't post links yet but just search on Amazon. It has an...

Oh I plan on running both an air stone and waterfall because it should give a nice entourage effect no? Plus, I'm limited in my growing space as I'm in an apartment so I most likely won't be upgrading to a system much larger than 2-3 buckets at most but for the meantime I'm sticking with a...

Ya I don't think I would need a manifold and could instead pump directly to grow bucket but I do like the idea of using an inline pump versus a submersible to help cut back on heat issues. In a previous post it was recommended I use an 80gpm pump because its such a small setup.. I will probably...

Good point. Might want to invest in an adjustable air and water pump so I can scale the grow in the future. Appreciate the advice.

Hi Aqua man! Thanks for the thorough response. I'm looking into ways to mount my fan outside my tent so the only thing inside of it as for the exhaust system would be the carbon filter saving on space. I will probably need to lookup some DIY chillers as I live in Arizona and it can get pretty...

Yeah I see the point you're trying to make. I like the idea of leaving the fan outside the tent to save space I just hope the noise doesn't become an issue. Although idk how much having it inside the tent cuts down on the noise level to begin with haha. As for the water pump. What size would...

I don't think that is entirely true, correct me if I'm wrong but with HIDs a good chunk of the energy that is drawn from the wall is wasted in the form of heat whereas LEDs are much more efficient and produce less heat; more energy is spent on producing light rather than heat. What QBs are you...

Haha yeah I knew a pump is necessary to circulate the water in larger rdwc systems with 2+ grow buckets but I wasn't sure if a pump was necessary in the two bucket system I'm trying to make due to the short distance between the buckets. Will I need to build a return pipe to prevent the grow...

Weird it didn't upload the pictures...

Hi everybody!! I'm new to these forums and seeking some help! Alright so I think I've decided how I want to setup my DWC... It's going to be a simplified rDWC system. I want to use a 2x4 grow tent and only run a single, It sounds like running a single plant is the way to go in such a small...
