I'm planning on growning 5 plants on a 2x2 space. If I make a res with 36"x36"x6" res that would amount up to 33 gallons of water. Having the fact that a bigger res means lesser water changes as it is more stable and makes a better choice. But I'm thinking if 5 gallons would be ok.
I've read guys that don't change their res. Some change it only once when changing to flowering stage.
some suggest to change it only after 4 weeks so that benefial microbes can grow.
I'm planning on using chemical nutes as this would be a DWC system, but would like the idea of letting bennies thrive to avoid bad bacteria from growing.
What I've read through the internet are these: bigger res means lesser changes, nute consumption increases during the blooming stage.
So guys, If I would be setting up a dwc system on a 2'x2' space growing 5 plants. How big should be my res?
