Is it a good idea not to use a pump for recirculation ?
I mean it's only 3 buckets with each their air stone so there is already a lot of water movement.
All I want in fact is having to adjust ph/ppm only once, not 3 times !
And I do not want any pump to add heat and problems.
I want to stick to DWC in my small little 2x2 grow tent, no other system types.
This is only for vegging 3 mother plants under a small MH, each in their bucket.
Any advice ? Should work ?
This is how mine is and I have to lift the bucket a couple times to mix everything well and I have a pump.An air stone in each bucket would just would just blow round in your bucket once the roots had filled it. If your going to join them, you need two pipes, one sucking out at the top and one drawing in at the bottom, or all your flow will be at the bottom, and not pass through all of your roots, and even then it would be hard to PH all three buckets, every adjustment would need leaving a fare while to settle before you could check it again, in all three buckets, it would be a time consuming way to do it.

I just do one airstone per bucket, 5 gal, and ph daily. It's a lot of work, but i have white angel hair roots, and healthy ass plants so I'll take the labor, you just gotta put that work inThis is how mine is and I have to lift the bucket a couple times to mix everything well and I have a pump.

That works, I have a ton of extras, I usually swap nutes once in veg at 4 weeks in and twice in bloom. Once at 5 weeks in which I pk blast, and once in flush at week 8. I guess most wouldn't call it a RO flush, but it's my tap water at 75 ppms and I use 5 ml terpenez at 0 ppms to boost the terps and trichomesMe too, I have a spare empty bucket, plant out, PH, adjust, plant back in.
And not gonna lie, I ph right in the bucket with the plants in there, I have seen NO delay on plants growth or f'd up roots, bunch of guys would disagree but seeing as I never saw a difference when I took the plant out, I stopped worrying about itMe too, I have a spare empty bucket, plant out, PH, adjust, plant back in.

That's exactly what I do, from the 4 week changeover in veg, i don't change the nutes again until they're 4 to 5 weeks in bloom, and you're right, I notice a huge difference. Right away because of the light cycle they start chugging nutes, so I just add bloom nutes, and booster around week 3.I don't change the nuits in my buckets during a grow, I just move from veg to flower with the same mix and use flower nuits instead of veg nuits, I believe that the plants coming from veg need some veg nuits, or elements from it during transition to flower, and I seem to get better results doing it this way.
