Ok this will be my first grow diary. I have a dilemma that needs to be sorted before I get started. I have a 4 site RDWC system I built from the ground up with full environmental control and co2.

I have regular seeds so by the time I can sex em if I go RDWC I may have to rip some some out. I was contemplating soil removing the RDWC system and planting more to accommodate. But after seeing growth rates in my first soil grow its discouraging. It sure is easy as hell but so much slower.

I was thinking possibly soiless to meet in the middle but thats even more work than my RDWC with purchasing everything to go that route.

Thoughts and opinions appreciated? What would people like to see and why?

Here are pics of the system when I was first building some equipment has changed so it's not the same. I will add new ones after method is decided.

Surprising this is your first diary, but I am pulling up a seat.

I would say start your seedlings in smaller net cups with clay pebbles which can then be moved into the RDWC buckets once you know the sex.

Hmmm I could buy a larger tub, modify the system and do this. I never thought of that

Super clean. Can you link your reflective material? I want to build something like that for my next grow.
