Hi guys ☺️

I'm trying the RDWC with 8 buckets 10 gallons.

Advice on :

-what bottles I should use from "advanced nutrients" ?

- at which state should I mix which nutrients ? (Start to finish)

I'm looking for someone that thavevtrued RDWC with advanced nutrients before, so I know which nutrients I should add from start to end 😅

THANKS ☀️

I've got plenty of experience with RDWC, but not Advanced.

Are you using PH Perfect, Grow, Micro and Bloom?

Here is a calculator to start:


Depending on your system and plants, you may need to adjust that slightly. need more info to help.

I just started my first RDWC grow and am using Advanced Nutrients Sensi lineup. I bought their starter pack and so far I like it fine but I am always open to other brands. I like that AN is cannabis specific and that they do not shy away from cannabis growers, in fact, they encourage us and they have a 24/7 help line that I have used several times....great customer service and help to supplement all the great help I have received from good folks here at The Farm. It's great to have that kind of product specific help whereas most of the experts here are only peripherally knowledgeable about AN products because they use different brands.

As Moe said, check out their nute calculator in the link he posted. You can put the product you are using in the calculator as well as the amount of water and it will spit out a weekly feeding schedule. Just follow that and use the help line. Also, it's important that you do not PH your water AFTER you have added the nutrients. AN works to expand the range that cannabis plants normally uptake nutrients to between PH 4 and 8. Our well water comes in around 7-8 and I PH it down to 6 before adding nutes. You also do not want to look at PPM's in the traditional sense either. Change the res every week like they recommend, if you watch PPM's it will throw you off.

One other important thing- You must keep your water temps down under 70F if you are going to be successful in RDWC. I ended up having to spring for a water chiller that was a large expense that I was not counting on. I would run your system for a few days while checking for leaks etc and monitor your water temps to see where you are riding. Room temp, lights, water pumps all contribute to the water temps, which if you do not control will give you root rot.

I have a current grow journal for my first RDWC grow, you might find more useful information if you browse through that thread.

Good luck!

Nice, that was a lot of good stuff ☺️ I know about the PH and the PPMs.... I have seen some videos tsaying that if I use semsi grow (1+2) that should regulate the PH value.... If not I should keep it between 5,8 and 6,2 ?? Any thoughts ?


I have a water chiller so the temp. Won't be a problem 👌....

They all work as long as they are made for hydro. Whatever you choose there will be a learning curve for your situation.

Do you have your system set up?
Yes, I got the 8 x 10 gallons bucket from Alien.

I got all the other stuff too 👌 tent, light, filter,CO2 etc .....

I'm looking to buy Advanced nutrients... What can you recommend ? 😊

Sorry, can't make a recommendation, I have never run them. Start with manufacturers recommendation on what their complete cannabis line is, and then post up your grow as you do it and we will try to help you steer it properly.

I just began my most memorable RDWC develop and am utilizing Progressed Supplements Sensi setup. I purchased their starter pack thus far I like it fine yet I'm consistently open to different brands. I appreciate that AN is pot explicit and that they don't avoid pot producers, as a matter of fact, they empower us and they have an every minute of every day assist with coating that I have utilized a few times....great client care and help to enhance all the extraordinary assist I with having gotten from great people here at The Homestead. It's perfect to have that sort of item unambiguous assistance though the greater part of the specialists here are just incidentally proficient about AN items since they utilize various brands.

As Moe expressed, look at their nute adding machine in the connection he posted. You can put the item you are involving in the number cruncher as well as how much water and it will let out a week after week taking care of timetable. That's what simply follow and utilize the assistance line. Additionally, you actually should don't PH your water AFTER you have added the supplements. AN attempts to grow the reach that pot plants typically take-up supplements to between PH 4 and 8. Our well water comes in around 7-8 and I PH it down to 6 preceding adding nutes. You likewise don't have any desire to take a gander at PPM's in the customary sense all things considered. Change the res consistently like they suggest, assuming you watch PPM's it will distract you.

Another significant thing-You should hold your water temps down under 70F assuming you will find actual success in RDWC. I wound up jumping on a water chiller that was a huge cost that I was not including on. I would run your framework for a couple of days while checking for spills and so on and screen your water temps to see where you are riding. Room temp, lights, water siphons all add to the water temps, which on the off chance that you don't control will give you root decay.

I'd keep it minimal, like A+B and maybe big bud and over drive. I wouldn't really want to put any biologicals or kelp or humic or sugar in there.

Greetings- You sound just like me when I started my first hydro RDWC grow using AN. I ended up switching in the middle of flower and won't be going back to AN. The problem I saw with them is your hands are tied when it comes to ph and even with a chiller and everything recommended, and using their grow help line, I still had issues with dropping ph and all I could do was change the res every other day, and then every day as things got worse. I salvaged the grow using GH flora and some great help from Moe and AquaMan but I would not use AN again or recommend them. Best of luck to you and I hope they work for you!
