I'm guilty. I have plugged 2" returns before. Roots too big. Big spill in tent. Yes, it was probably my fault for vegging too long, but I can see 3" personally if you are lazy like me.Before anyone says roots plug them … thats a site size and plant size issue…. While 3” may help a small amount if the roots are that full they are going to plug anything. Filters can help with that but the main problem would be solved by growing with an adequate space for root volume

Going with 3.5 net pots using coco.
Just waiting on roots now.
Its just a 250 gph pump. Yeah it should easily handle these plants.Im sure if you all test root pruning it will turn out to not matter. Ive cut half my root mass off at transplant and still never had issues with uptake
Pretty nifty, no airpump needed is pretty nice. What type of pressure is on that pump ya think and what kind/flow is it?
So rapid rooter sat in coco mix wicking up with 2 waterfalls per tote.
I like that the pots are big. I ran into problems with mine becuase the roots get to big and filled the buckets thus pushing them up. As the water level dropped the watefalls hit roots instead of water, if I remember right. You for sure wont have that issue. I mean if you veg them longer than 3 weeks they gonna get way to big to even worry about the roots. Id say you would need a 3 month veg, possibly 4 to clog that system or even make the waterfalls not work. . .basically. . I think its gonna work perfect for ya
To funny… in the dining room? LolThe funniest part was the whole time I kept asking him if his wife was OK with it and he kept puffing his chest out talking about how he was the man of the house, blah, blah, blah.
When she got home she freaked and he was like a puppy dog with his tail between his legs. She got really pissed at me because I couldn't stop laughing! She kept screaming "There are trash cans full of water in my dining room!!!" She wouldn't talk to me for a week. Once she got over it I asked her why she was mad at me. She said I was the adult between us and her hubby so I should have stopped him!

Nah its just not filled all the way and I haven’t adjusted the individual flow rates yet.Looking sweetwas just wondering it seems to be bubbling way harder on 1 side is that deliberate
This is kinda more of an RnD. Going to test a few things and based in results make some changes. There will be a few changes by the time i have a system ready for sale but the general setup will remain for the most part the same. Some parts may be made yet also.Looking forward to see this grow aqua . Will you be making this kit to sell?. Also would it fit in a 4x4 tent
Yes that would be good , I couldn’t find the bulkhead fittings in oz but now @Moe.Red has posted a link. I’m keen to do a rdwc build but still have only used my Wilma system for one run. Don’t think wifey would let me buy a new system just yetI think freight would b a killer shayne,but i do think aqua could also come up how to build rootsosphere guide book or a downloadable version for a small price.
Oh there are plenty of growers here with more experience than myself brother.Since you are probably the most experienced grower here I have a question, a few of my fans have bronzed out, no big deal I just clipped them off and plant will be chopped in 10 days, pH good, just need your opinion for future.
