Hello everyone,
Newbie here, as I sit and wait for my seeds to arrive. I can't stop pondering over my overcooked WDC system I have dreamt up in my head. Please provide me with any inputs you may have!
Starting with a small 3x2 tent in my water-heater closet. I have a 27gal tote I plan to start by growing 3 babes in. Going to have an extra 5gal gatorade cooler reservoir pumping through a water chiller, aiding my few weekends away from the plants. The chilled water will be dispersed out the sprinkler system I have attached underneath the lid surrounding the 3 net pots. Overflow water will passively return to the gatorade reservoir. 4 large air stones in the main tote, air-pump will be mounted underneath the tent. Going to run an amazon 900w LED with dual fans mounted on the sides angling inward. General Hydro trio nutes plus Silica Blast and Cal-Mag (with Hydroguard on deck if needed). All tubing is blacked out. Exhausting the warm air out the top vent through the carbon filter into the small room. Passively intaking air through the bottom vent, phase 2 I will be adding an AC Infinity duct fan to help with the summer temps.
My questions:
Thanks in advance!

My questions:
- Will pumping the chilled water into my main tote be an issue if on 24/7? The roots will eventually submerge in the water, so why can't the sprinklers be on all the time? Could put the water pump on a timer if needed.
- Will the small room cause an issue if I am exhausting/recirculating the grow tent air in the room? max 2-3days.
- Could the 3 plants drink 5gals of water in 3days and ruin my water pump?
- What would you call this RWDC/ Bubble/ LP Airponics?
Thanks in advance!
