Fill it once using a gallon pitcher and note the level.
Are you top feeding till roots hit water? Or is that air line?View attachment 856450 View attachment 856450 View attachment 856451 Here are some pictures of my diy Rdwc could not get all the parts I needed plans changed in the middle of the bulid. Could only find 4 uniseals and then I could not find enough bulkheads had to use both.
Air line. I have a 3/4" water return line on the top sides of the buckets the bottom of the netpot is getting splashed between the waterfall effect and the airstone. Right now I'm hand watering straight from my reservoir to the bucket 2 to 3 x a day.Are you top feeding till roots hit water? Or is that air line?
You can also put thin layer hydroton on bottom layer of net pot then fill water till bubbling around the hydroton, then place plant and fill sides with hydroton.Air line.

How does it look @ 2 weeks in? As you can see I only have 2 plants and one is looking a little sick I hope it going to get stronger like the other one. Out of 10 old seeds these are the 2 that sprouted. I have a question about TDS The TDS reading straight out of the faucet is 251 do you start there and bring your TDS up to around 800 or do you say the TDS is 0 till y
I start adding nutrients to bring it up to 800 or whatever it's supposed to be? ( that would give me a TDS of 1151) Hope I'm not confusing anyone.
I'm using GH Floranova one part nutrient. What should my TDS be reading now?
I'm just a little worried I have to go out of town Monday and will be gone 1 week I don't have anyone to check PH and anything while I'm gone (that's one of reasons why I went with a bigger reservoir.) I'm going to do a H2o change today and set my PH to 5.6 and the TDS around 700 and I'll see how it's doing when I get back next Monday.
I'm using a 315 watt CMH/LEC set 2.5' above the plants should I lower or just leave the light alone? It's in a 3x3x6' tent you can see what the temperature inside tent in one of the above pics. The average temperature in the reservoir over the last 8 days is 71 .18 degrees F.
I'm keeping a journal of the temps the PH, TDS everything and I've been checking it once a day sometimes twice a day. Like I said I'm going to be out of town for a week and this is only my second Hydro grow in the last 8 years and my first DIY hydro. First one was a store bought DWC.
Sorry that this is so long.
Thank you for any advice or criticism to my little grow.
When I sprayed antifungal spray it went away. it's just looked like rust spots on the leaves.First issue doesn't look like any fungus I've ever heard of. What makes you think it's fungus?
Thanks man it's been 10 days under 12/12 from what I've read it's 3 weeks till you can sex your plants they forget to say the the male might show it's sex soonerAnd, yeah, thats a male.
Maybe what you read meant 3 weeks from seed you may see pre flowers to identify. Cuz you should be able to tell sex way earlier than 3 weeks into 12/12Thanks man it's been 10 days under 12/12 from what I've read it's 3 weeks till you can sex your plants they forget to say the the male might show it's sex sooner
