Hi, I’m looking for advice on a RDWC System. I have a crash course education on hydro as I was actually able to harvest a plant using a crude DWC system. I want to set up a RDWC in a 48x24x60 tent. So, any advice? ---

Get a large enough air pump, air stones, PPM/TDS meter, proper lighting, proper sized pumps, and sufficient lighting, you’ll do great. @ljpap57 ---

I would suggest searching RDWC on YouTube and here. Have a look at a bunch of different setups and decide which you like best. There’s a lot of ways you can do it. Just depends on how you want to build. Like said above air pumps are critical to the plants. More is better. ---

You can out grow your tent QUICK with RDWC. From my experience, one of the best things you can spend money on is a WATER CHILLER ---

So you are looking for an RDWC solution for a 2x4 tent with 5’ of total height? Can you place the reservoir outside the tent? How many plants do you want this system to run at the same time? ---

> [@ljpap57](#): > > I want to set up a RDWC in a 48x24x60 tent. So, any advice? Im in 2x4 tents but I don’t have an rdwc system right now but have run them in the past. Right now im running a single bucket system which in theory doesn’t really achieve RDWC. Ive made my system as close to RDWC as possible without being one. A water pump pumps water off the bottom of the bucket, out of the bucket, to a water cooler to keep temps stable, then back to the bucket ![20190328_184515](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/c/7/c7408e93804b42a66ef75f0e19e349dc76806fef.jpeg) ![20190318_130106](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/b/a/ba7f6ab61425eb2b1c48452c684c221292807ff1.jpeg) ![20190306_130632](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/0/0/007edf7bb69985a5e21dde4d8bd884ab2c48fdd5.jpeg) ---

one plant, with a little training, could grow in a 2’ x 2’ space + the reservoir, 2 plants in your 2’ x 4’ area with the res outside the tent…and with a little more training, one plant will fill a 2’ x 4’ space ---

Thanks for your response. I’ve decided to go straight DWC. ---

Actually, now that I think about it I guess that it is lol! It’s not an “undercurrent” system though which would be considered by most to be the best form of RDWC ---

DWC/RDWC is downright boring. Way easier than dirt/media. [Next page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/rdwc-system-advice/29476.md?page=2)
