Hey farmers, hope your all having a laid back labor day weekend.
As some of you know I am a ebb n flo guy who dabbles between hydro and soil runs.
As of late the concept of RDWC has caught my eye. A buddy turned me on to this link, http://alienhydroponicsystems.co.uk/
Not into the DIY thing so much as I would like to be. Now I don't know if I am allowed to post a vendor link and @logic if I overlooked something in forum rules I'm sorry, just delete if inappropriate.
My question is to those farmers that are hip to RDWC and use this method. It doesn't matter to me who's product you are using, or if you DIYed it. I'm looking for tips and tricks to a successful operating setup, that does what its touted to do. I do have a chiller from a reef tank I had so rez temps wont be an issue. Also looking for info on known issues and drawbacks if any to using this method. Slime, algae, water quality challenges etc etc.
If some of you guys are using a similar system when growing trees in larger pots how do you support the plant as it bulks up. Looking at the layout of this rig I cant see how the support would work.
So please look over the systems and let me know if this system looks like it is a worthy setup. Looks nice to me but looks aren't always everything. I know some of our members are from across the Big Pond and hopefully someone is familiar with this gear. Thanks for any insight. Toke well BBQ it up and a few brewskis and have a great weekend!!
