Do you have a timer on that bubble cloner? I didn't have much luck with mine.

No I didn't have a timer it ran 24/7. I picked up a daisy cloner. Its basically a 8 site EZ cloner. As soon as I have something ready ill be trying it out.
And so it continues...
Have you read about people who are managing hose pressure by diverting flow directly back to the reservoir using a t immediately after the pump. With a valve off of that, you can bleed the system to the desired pressure.
I think I read about that on a Heath Robinson thread... maybe DHF talks about it... Pretty sure I saw it on a fatman aero thread somewhere else...
Anyway, if there are a million ways to skin a cat, and that's just psychotic, there's gotta be a few more ways to plumb a rDWC...

man all these problems and you could have just made those rings and been done with it?
also nice bud pix and the plants look nice too.

Everything I have tried or talked about lowered pressure or raised pressure in the feed lines. With larger drain lines I don't have to fuck with the feed lines at all. I hope this mess is all solved tonight.
I dunno. Weren't you dealing with asymmetrical supply:
How does that go away with bigger drains?
You are still using positive pressure to feed the buckets, right? How big do you have to go to allow them to passively drain back into the reservoir?
The pressure to the T was done already in the feed lines, I put the T in the beginning of the buckets. The lines in the system I have for the flower room has 3/4 pvc drain and 1/2 pex, so the drain is way bigger than the small 1/2 pex feed lines. I realized that the 3/4" fittings for the buckets that were on there were pinched a little from the hose clamps so that may have been some of the problem as well. I am short one piece for this to be checked tonight. I will be done tomorrow. I will update then.
Im Flowin

Its all hooked up and im flowing great. The larger lines did the trick. Ive got the 1 Lifesaver and 1 DCUK and 1 DCUK in the peat pellet still.

Bet it's nice to finally having it run the way you want it too...
Yes im very happy with it. Theirs a few small drips but its nothing a few hose clamps cant handle.
Are redish/purple fan leave stems a sign of something bad? Theres 2 shots of that. The rest are just for fun. Day 29.
Classic answer: The coloring is associated with a phosphorus deficiency.
It can be a genetic trait of the plant and need not be a deficiency.

Which genetic is it? And, does that genetic have a tendency to grow with red stems?
Have you grown it out before? If not, can you find out if has this trait from someone else who has?
Is it in a cooler part of the room? (Lower temps are associated with slower phosphorus uptake).
The P of NPK is phosphorus. Bump that up if you want to... what is your nute profile right now? It might now need more P.
If you think it's a deficiency, maybe a leaf spray on the colorful plant and keep your recirculating feed the same...
EDIT: Do the leaf tips look like a fungus might be getting at them? (That's another phosphorus deficiency indicator--the symptoms of fungus, not but not fungus itself.)
If the plant's health is good, you might not have to worry about it...

Ive never noticed this being a problem. Its on the PPP and the WA but the ice is all green so im guessing its a strain trait then.
I opened the lids in the flower room just now and the roots are looking like rot. Just like the same rot that happened after I added Bud Candy for my 1st grow. Well guess what I just added, yup bud candy yesterday. Theres only two other things in the grow and thats the Dyna-Bloom and Cal-Mag. WTF Should I drain immediately and flush for a few days? I still got 30 plus days to go.
Has anyone herd of Bud Candy mixing with anything that will cause root rot? Any other dyna users?
Isn't bud candy sugar based?
Sugars directly feed microbes, and can massively increase their population.
Some of those microbes are the pathogen that cause root rot.
Few, if any, of the 'big' rDWCers are running any sugars, and many deliberately and actively run dead reservoirs.
Scanned around for the link to the process on Physan20 and Hydroshine to murder all microbiological life in your reservoir, but came up empty after five minutes... Pretty sure it was in Krunch's MPB thread... but I didn't turn it up.
Good luck with the slime...
