Hi there Doubleds, paying my repect to a great farmer.
I've never done recirculating DWC and would like to learn if you could share just some basic info., since you have it dialed in.
You're yielding insanely with those G13 ladies.
I've been growing under 1000W per flood/drain 4x4 tables with 25 (Reef. RM-38 HP) plants per table and yield is consistent at 2.4-2.7 LB.
What I want to know is how do you arranged the 28 lights and 23 plants and what is the res. size you're using.
Does the plants sit in the nutrient water all the time or they are drain and recirculate on interval.
Thanks in advance for any experiences you could share.
The dwc is constantly recirculating at very high speeds. Roots sit right in the nute solution, no air between bottom of the pail and nutes. I use 2 res's, both 100 gallon, 10 plants on 1 and 13 on the other.

i dont need to use side lighting for the early clones. I only take clones from the very tip pf the plant so they have great branching already. I root them in 4 inch cubes , 4 cuttings per so they lack for nothing during the rooting process. The already developed brnches keep growing and i have bushes in two weeks from cut. Then they go into the bucket system. I dont know if you have seen this b4 but my plants always get a little lumen shock when they go to the buckets in the flowering room, The plants stops growing vertically but the shock doesnt stop the branches, they keep on growing while the main shoot doesnt. It works great.
My room is cut into a big L. Long part of the L has 13 plants and the short part has 10.
ok, the 13 plant side , each plant gets a minumum of 3 1000 watts each with the 5 in the middle row gets light from 4 - 1000 watters. These middle ones were over 4 lbs and the outside ones were a minimum of 3 lbs

This is the 10 plant room and although betsy (middle x 2nd from left) yielded over 3 lbs, the rest were 1.5 lbs.
This is why my average didnt reach 2 per. If we look at the 13 plant side i yielded and average of 3 lbs 4 ounces.
2 x's missing in 10 plnt room (bottom left ) is where the door is.
Hope this helps explain. If it was setup the same then i would average over 3 lbs plus and thats why i said my goal was to hit 4 plus this run..... 13 plant side.
My 2 cents,
Maybe the lumen shock to the top of the cutting makes the plant shorter than it would be normally.
Good luck, post pictures, would love to see you succeed!
