Hello everyone, completely new here I wanted to join somewhere where there are many hydro growers :) I am getting a 13 gallon 8 site rdwc fallponic system from pa hydroponics and pairing it with a 4x8 and a bluelabs pro controller with 4 peripods. Im trying to have this generally as hands off and automated as I can have it be. I just had some questions for people that run a similar system or just rdwc in general because I am newer.
With a 4 nutrient pump system such as the peripod m4 , for the nutrients used is it best to go with : PH down, calmag, part a , part b. As the 4 choices? I would be switching from a general hydroponics nutrients because of the 3 part system, and im sure many part a part b are better than GH anywho.
ill be using Reverse osmosis water only for the system, one question I had regarding nutrients and mixing. With a 8 site system and 1 reservoir all 13 gallons, when I have a feed dosing , what gallon amount am I measuring it to? 13 gallons? Or would that be diluted because thats just feeding for one plant.
Also with RO water as I understand correct me if I am wrong, you never have JUST RO water only for your rdwc system. As in you would always want calmag mixed in the water so there is some EC. Or am I wrong about this? Any help appreciated, links guides anything. Thanks in advance all :)
