how many plants are you gonna be growing?
for 6,000w system I'm guessing over 100 plants, setting up 100 dwc buckets or totes is a lot of work, especially if you have to seal them all so you can use a feeder and automate it that is just going to be difficult, but possible.
you are looking at a big system, you will need access to the main water line and a nice large water pump/air pump.
I think you might be best doing NFT using gutters, fenceposts, or larger PVC piping w/ 3" or so netcups. Set up the gutters in such a way that you pump solution into them on one end and it runs through everywhere and our back into the reservoir, which should be aerated with an air pump. run the water pump periodically, like 5 minutes every half hour, for which you need a hydroponic timer.
i was thinking more like 40 big plants 4 reservoirs 10 plants each i dont know hydro thats why im reading on it now im probably gonna start building this in 2 monts i have to order most of the stuff from foren countrys couse in mine i dont have shit.
If your looking for a larger setup check out the ebb and flood tables in my sig. Its the same construction if you buy talbes or make your own.
Get a big res.. Keeps everything much more stable! DWC is nice for smaller grows but when you have 8-20 5 gallon DWC buckets running.. Its loud and a major pain in the ass!
is it ok to have big reservoir with 10 dwc pots,i would go with nft but theres a power cut here every ear almost
