hey guys!
i was having trouble finding some threads on this. so if theyre already up please point me in the right direction, if not id like some help. im planning on setting up a multi bucket system with a 55 gal resevoir. ive taken care of many plants b4 but it has always been in soil. was just wondering wat your take on it would be. i plan on buying everything individually and setting it up myself rather than spending the extra dough on a setup. ive read and understand about stand alone dwc but that just wont work for what im trying to do. i'll have about 100 sq ft of canopy, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with setting it up. 'preciate it mates!
stay up!

couldnt tell ya never used one...i reciently put in a float valve for water fill..i use reg tap water in a 18 gal rez with 7 gal nutes in it..i havent had to adjust ph in 2 weeks..and just add nutes as needed..in a cycle..boost/bloom one day..vitaminz and additives next day..root boosterz the 3rd day then a day to rest..gradgually raising ppm..pend on the plant ppm level...1400 good rule of thumb..
