I do 8 bucket RDWC with about 30 gallons total and i use a 900 gpm mag drive(did not buy it for this but works great for it) with 3/4 in hose to my sink to drain the system takes about 2 min lol, shop vac dry the rest !! 10 min to refill and i'm good to go for another week !!

Sorry for the very late update my friends......but the final results for my grow was 2.85 lbs, not bad considering they were starved till the last 3 weeks of flower !!

yup that sounds about right with what i just experienced !! I'm talking about the 900 over what your tap water is !!

12 inches sounds good, i fliped these at arround 18, 20 inches and they got to big for the space they were appart !!

Yup to low ppm.....lesson learned but you tried to tell me tho, burnt leaf tips really screwed with my head.....aw well next time. They are still doing ok tho, to me anyways !! here's a pic !! they are not 100% but they will get through it !!

thanx for he help, i bumped up the ppm to 700 and will see how it will turn out !!

I though so too but the burnt leaf tips are confusing me !! Lol I'm going to bump up the ppm's and hope for the best !!

Well everything was going great until i switched to flower....they are still looking alright i guess but could be better. Maybe someone will be able to help me out. Here is a bunch of pic's of how things are going !! In 24 hrs the PH goes from 5.8 to 4.5 not sure what is doing that...

If you want to get technical yeah that's true, but I was talking hps or mh in general !! Lol !! Its all good !!

that's why Hush mentioned cool tubes so you can get the light closer....to take care of the heat issue if you go horizontal !! If you put your hand under a vertical bulb's tip you can almost touch it, not so much on the side's !! If there's more heat, mean's more light !!

Your adsolutely right Hush...this will be my last run for a while. When i get back to it ill have cool tubes or the 8"XXXL air cooled hoods not sure witch yet!! They are pretty expensive so i'm going to hold off for a while, i should do ok for now i hope !! i'll probebly give those 2X4 inch...

wish i could lower them in between nouvellechef but there is no more space, there all touching each other,next round i will set them apart more, at least a foot and get my res. and controller out of the room that will give me more space !!

Calibrating my Hanna Combo pen with 1382 solution on the .5 scale worked....i'm really glad it did, paying another 200$ for a pen would of sucked !!

everything seems to be going ok for now...i hope it stays that way !! Just a few more pic's for you guy's and girl's !! Added another 2000 watts for a total of 4000 watts, that should do it !! you almost need a welder's mask to get in there !!

Just a little update, decided to flip the lights 3 days ago, gave them a good prune as well. here's a picture to show how there doing !!
