Gram per watt varies by strain, and going to vertical lights changed my life, but around a gram to a gram and a half is not unexpected. Integrates really well with a top feed drip and RDWC, but they're's not a lot of water in the base. More room for droplets. Ebb & flow is going to collapse those precious feeder roots you're trying to cultivate for all the misty goodness. Serious about those Pura Vida nutrients, though. Ass kickers. As for going with micro-bio instead of ozone is another great control of nastiness and way to produce active oxygen, but anything that's alive is going to die. Dead organic matter is what clogs your emitters. You're gonna know when every bug drowns if you're not running filters and screens. Why try to integrate something that's going to cling to the sides of your reservoir, and the insides of hoses, pumps and emitters? Yes. Normal healthy growth will clog your emitters. That's why I dropped my beloved
Foxfarm for my aero babies. Too much poo. That shit got shitty. As for inspiration, check out the links to DD's medical buckets. They're the base half of what it sounds like you're trying to achieve. I'm gonna go check out the Tree Farmer.
Forgot: Ozone in the reservoir. When growing indoors, your yield comes from the wattage and root space you provide and the plants ability to uptake nutrients and transpire as fast as possible. Therefore, it's easier to maintain a clean and sterile environment than it is to attempt to provide all of the controls nature gives us for free. The micro-rhyzo (bacteria) and mycelial growth (fungus) you're trying to bring into your reservoir are designed to create a mycelial web through a soil structure, and in doing so, facilitate the movement of nutrients through the soil making them accessible to the plant. Since you're not using soil, and going far out of your way to create an environment where the nutrients are brought to the roots in the most available manner, this is a wasted effort. You've already done that work. Well. Think about how ridiculous it would be to bring other biological controls inside. Would you release lady bugs in your room? Ten thousand tiny wasps for mites? What a mess. The biggest control of disease and filth, free from the sun, is ozone. Ultraviolet light breaks O2 into two free radical oxygen. This free radical oxygen does several things. It allows H2O to become H2O2, or peroxide, which breaks down organic wastes, because your plants poop in the reservoir. Really. Also, every N, P, K and micro-nute in your reservoir needs a free radical oxygen to piggy back on to be uptaken by those fuzzy roots. Bring it to where the plants need it. Normally, the rain brings this love to the roots. I think you should, too. Isn't a good offense the best defense?
