Okay, so for my next grow i have converted a space in my attic into a pretty legit, framed in grow room (more in another post when i get some pics). I had originally wanted to run a DWC system with all the buckets having an individual ball/valve drain and networked together via pvc and drain into a tubbermaid res. i would then have a water pump working to refill those buckets when i drained them. So basically it is 3 buckets that i would drain into a main res every few days, and from there i can monitor the PH, TDS, etc. and then repump them back into the buckets. So my question is: instead of having a DWC system, can i just leave the roots dangling in the empty 5 gal buckets (they will still be in the rockwool, placed in netcups full of hydrotron) and then place a wick or tube at the base of the stem/rockwool. So like every 30min or so it would pump water to the base of the plant, then work its way down into the bucket and drain back into the res?
Sorry for the short story, im kinda high so this makes perfect sense to me, but im sure it is somewhat confusing to you all. Any advice is much appreciated
