Hmmm interesting.. I might look into that maybe. Thank you. Ya I am in Far Nor Cal.
My first attempt in the UC went like this.

Keeping it simple is the way to go. Less interaction with the water creates a stable environment like they're used to in nature.

Had a pimp tent like yourself and got caught up on the numbers. Turns out numbers don't mean as much as we'd think. Obsessed over pH and burnt the roots, exposing them to conditions that turned into rot and their disposal.

Good luck on future attempts or salvaging these. You're sure to nail it and have an everlasting shitfaced grin.
Weird you arent supposed to add nutes and such directly into the epicenter? I did all throughout my diesel grow, had no issues, in fact my patients just came and chopped them all down and took off very happy so was mine the exception? I like the results better from the hempy style grows been done, only real liking I have of the UC is the accelerated veg growth, but once my rooms are all completed all will be timed so a 2 month veg with hempies wont hender a monthly harvest or matter either.
I just call this my $4k+ test with a new growing method, and of course not moeny I have but had to experiment, and the last 1 too, was going to consider mpb's but wont waste time & money, going hempy baby!!!
I have seen failures both small and large in EVERY medium these plants have grown in....sorry but their isnt a fail safe for growing ANY plant....this system is cool and all but I too will be heading back in the perilite/coco medium for many of my next runs....and will also keep this UC running, just not with any of my elites or my own pollen chucking homemade crosses.
Good luck to you!!

people need to realize that RDWC is fucked for growing plants worth their weight in gold. you can do everything perfect and you will still kill plants. people will tell you nonsense like your ppms were too high or your PH killed your plants, but the fact is they have no idea either why your plants died
Its cool at first to see how fast things veg in these systems, but harvesting is way more important than a quick veg time. you can do everything right and shit will still die on you. the only plus side to the systems is the veg time, I found bud size does not get any larger in these systems than in others, and it seems that unless ur growing vertical the plant grows to big and bushy and they choke each other out, making people yeild less than they would in soil
people like jack and ben are complete newbies to the system, 1-2 runs is nothing, youll need to talk to them after a 1ys and see what they think. you can bet after they randomly lose a $100,000 harvest they will be ditching the system.
Im guilty of it as well, a year ago I would have fist fought someone talking bad about the MPBs but after 7 great runs and 2 shitty, I lost about $50,000, and I decided that Im a retard and got back to basics. growing plants in water is not for me, and for most you of out there, its not for you either.
