Naw man when everything is good i get huge yields,to big to even talk about really cause there unbelievable.water chilers and pumps dont use much juice at all especially when there insulated.I never have to water plants,the system is super esay to maintain just took a long time to get this far with simplicity,but yes occasionally if i over look something i can have issues like this last batch i wasn't paying attention to the water levels and got crown rot on 4 plants,but you would shit if you saw my numbers on some of these scrogs.
Giving a plant maximum access to oxygenated roots,unlimited water supply as much as they need,nutrient and PH in the perfect range.yeah plant get large and bulky as shit.
I am married to RDWC and it only gets better after every year.I always trip on my dirt moms how slow they grow compared to plants in veg under RDWC.One thing for sure i can correct any kind of issue in RDWC unlike soil where you have to flush for days and make corrections on guesstimates.Dont get me wrong i like dirt and appreciate the grows i see people do in it but there is just somthing about the complexity and trying to tame dwc that draws me to it.I guess if some things were to easy we wouldnt want them.How i feel about RDWC
