NEW RDWC SETUP

Just cleaned my tent after my last crop (10 zips off 2 plants), getting ready for the next run, I figured I would upgrade my setup a little and hook up a RDWC. I was running DWC last time but not recirculating. Here's a couple pics let me know what you all think. I got 4 cali-o clones going in this weekend.

That looks like its going to work very well. Alot of water movement is great for the roots.
Good luck

Yeah the feed lines are 3/4" so even though it is not squirting far out, it is moving a good amount of water. It's 3/4" feed lines and 1" drain lines. two pumps, 2 plants to each pump.

Back to the lab again, just bubbling the chlorine out.

Super looking great. i like larger feed an even larger return. that return can cause problems, but a 1" i bet would give you less problems any day.

I just hope that the clones dont stall for you as it looks like they need to revegg for you. If i where you, i would start thinking of plan B, the possibility of getting something to replace those clones cause this could set you back.

But then again, it may just go fine for you. I always like having a plan B. But those look like they need to reveg. If its your only option then go with it. If you can easily get clones to replace it,i'd have them on hand.

Best of luck an B-safe

I have clones out the ass lol. But I like the cali-o and it will snap back out pretty quick. I did it last time with the same plant worked fine.

I do actually have 1" drain/return lines. 3/4" feed lines. Works great.

nice clean set up you got here..
but the babies doesnt look that great..
why?

They were small and I took them off a plant 6 weeks into bloom. Then i "hold" clones by just keeping them in the cloner with only water. This way I can keep a bunch without them actually growing. They just stop until I put nutes back in. The clones look rough but they will be just fine. They have just been in straightr h2o for a couple weeks waiting for the buckets to open up.

i heard some ppl do that with their clones, they get them when they are weeks into bloom already. supposlly got some kind of monster gene in it to make it huge when revegg again?

I don't know about that. Just happened to be when I needed to take them if I wanted some for the next cycle.
