    Would love some pointers and things and maybe some person experiences

    I had zero luck with RDWC, CC ran it for a while he may be able to help.


    Trying to control my PH seemed to be impossible as well as the heat.

    Yes,


    you have a recipe for slime if you don't plan ahead. Lots of air and warm water


    the pumps give off heat a small amount but it adds up...something to think about. PH was issue also, but that was because of numerous small issues that added up. You may have better luck, I think it's the perfect set up but you have to dedicate a lot of time to make sure little issues are covered. A lot more errors are possible.

    I ran RDWC for a while and it was a bitch to clean. High maintenance system, and you can get the same results with tables and less to clean and fool with.


    I had 8 buckets and forget it - took a whole weekend to clean. Don't get me wrong, those systems can pump out some bud. Just way high maintenance.

    RDWC is a badass insane growth system but it needs a TON of attention to keep things in check and when they go wrong, they murder your runs and yields


    I turned a blind eye to a SIMPLE ebb n flow system over 7 years ago when USELESS tried to turn me onto it and once I began that system as a result of needing the yields to stay in check, I literally slapped myself for being so stupid....all the time,effort and money poured down the drain


    EBB n FLOW for LIFE....no doubt about it!!


    I ran 5 RDWC 4pot systems, either 600 or 1k over each lil 4x4 tent for over 3 years....TONS of work, even 1 was a ton of work


    I know that Hydrofarm recently bought-out CAP Ebb n Grow systems and now its under hydrofarm but, that is the best pound for pound system on the market, as in work to cost to yields to plant health
