Ismokealotofpot, yes as I mentioned in the first post it is RDWC. Every bucket is linked and they are all connected to a fill-up res mixed for the next weeks nutes. My RDWC setups are bought pre-made. The pump is whatever is included on the specs for a 8gal 12 site system. I prefer the premades by far. They come with ridge reinforced lids, pre-cut, sized, etc. I may pay double for the skeleton of the system than what I could if I cheaped out with Rubber-maid/homemade but I prefer the ease and solid construction. In my market it pays for itself in the first grow so why bother skimping for more labor and a sub-par result? If you really want the specs of the pump I can run downstairs and look later.
Dozer, it's Purple Kush, that's why it's purple. I'm semi-perpetual so the conditions in the flower room constantly remain the same. The trich coverage is natural as well but I did use one of the Sunpulse 10ks on half to try and test if they actually work. I'm three days out from harvest and I cannot say that they make a difference or not while being objective because they are close and I know which side I used the finishing bulb on. I'll take the best of each side and run heads up tests after they're ready.
