Alright guys, here I go on my first try on growing anything. I’m running a RDWC system with 2 purple Erkle clones on a 450 watt LED light. Here’ a list of what i’m using;
450 watt LED 3 panel Grow/Bloom Light
Flora Series Nutrients
Cal/Mag
Silica Blast
MOAB – for flower
4x2x7 Grow tent
190 CFM inline fan w/ carbon filter
2 purple Erkle clones
Homemade Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) system I got the idea from a youtuber, here’s what you need to build it;
45 gallon Tote
2 – 10′ net pots
396 gph water pump
3w air pump 7.8L/min
2 – 1″ Ball Valves (To allow/seal water Flow)
2 – 4″ in round air stones
There is a secret addition to the water pump making it special. On the adapter that came with the pump I drilled a hole right where it reduces size and inserted some extra air line tubing an sealed it. I just ran the tubing upwards, open ended allowing oxygen to get in. Since the pump is pushing water through the adapter, when it reduces size it builds pressure. This pressure wants to pull from somewhere so it pulls from the air line, mixing oxygen with the water. This allows no dead zones and circulates the water well. It even has a special benefit with adding nutrients. Just grab the open air line tubing and put it into your nutrients and it will pull that through and mix it with the water slowly, steadily which is best for plants.
