Hey everyone I know this topic is similar to others but im trying to design a 9 plant RDWC system and had a few questions. Will this design work? The red lines are return and green are fill.
Other info:
2 in pvc pipe
5 gallon buckets
each one will have air stone
5x5 grow tent area
27 reservoir outside tent
My main questions are:
How big of a pump should I get?
Do I need a separate pump for the return line or does it circulate back naturally?
I have 2in pipe for the fill line currently but do I need that or just 2in for the return?
Great, thank you. Am I correct to assume that if I get a pump rated for 2700 gph, each pot will receive about 900 gph? Is this overkill or right, Ive seen a lot of different suggestions about this?
This is very helpful, thank you. Currently Im growing in soil have have 9 plants. Ik im not doing it perfectly, but it seems like they fit decently and don’t compete too much for light. Does hydroponics make bigger plants, even If i continue to do about 4 weeks in veg then flip to flower?
Hey got another one for y’all @Retiredoldguy@SolomanGrundy been great help to me thought might be help to them if not too much on y’all’s plate already
