Hello IC !
I just want to share few things that i've learned after over a year with playing with coco. For many, many years i've been using soil based medium but time needed to manage so much forced me in to coco method. My first coco run was 4 plants in 1m tent under single 600W, i've hand water them and i ended up with total disaster in this tent. I decided to make some systems to make life easier but whole conception of DTW just did not broke thru my aversion to wasting so i decided that systems has to DTRecycle, so they are and it works.
I still feel like a newbie about coco, i still learn new things how to improve everything but at this point i can ensure everyone that DTR works well if you fallow a few basic tips like :
monitoring PH&EC daily, obviously PH like to drop EC rice but that can be solved easily with water and PHup.
coco should never dry out
make sure that enough solution going thru pot daily, i have one long watering for 30 comes always 1h after flip, this works as daily flush
another thing is size of rez, it can't be to big to make sure that plants will use whole solution in 4-5 days.
Here's my mates grow, this is His second grow in life...
This project still needs improvement and i was on kind of holiday so please excuse total mess and so many burned leafs, lights was a bit to low and there was a bit warm, up to 28-30 for a week before axe.
It's all ChemD, 8 plants in 3m x 1.5m tent under 3x 660W lumatek+philipsGP, in september i will hang there one more shade with 660W and there's more drippers needed per plant for better flush but already this project yielded about 91oz of chemD... for me fair enough.
