I've done it several times with my bio buckets, which are rdwc. most hybrids take similar feed requirements. the bio buckets tend to make nutes so easy to uptake that as long as its in there, the plant will get what they need. and with these bio buckets nute levels are kept very low and never showed signs of deficiencies. granted, I ve never done like land race sativas and quick running hybrids together. I used to run a veg tent and a flower tent off the same res ( I only run dyna-gro bloom for veg and flower). I would just rotate bucket lids with the plants attached from veg to flower when needed.

With rdwc the nute level will drop after refilling with fresh ro water after each 12 hour cycle. That means the plants are growing, you also will see noticable growth everyday. I recently did something similar to what you are talking about and was disgusted. I am sorry to say this but I doubt you'll find anything that is close to as good as the gg4 for yield AND quality. I have tried a couple of elite og cuts and while they are of good quality they produce only about 2/3 of the quantity. I am going back to all gg4 all the time with maybe one Irene or WiFi43 just for shits and giggles. There is a reason the gg4 won all those contests.

Moni cropping IS ideal with DWC. Clearly.

Ive run 5 very diff strains off same rez before with surprisingly good results!

One thing you cannot compromise is flower time must be same because you must be able to flush them all. Beyond that i recommend using brewers wort coil to cool diff rezzes off same chiller if you have to use one chiller.would not do dwc without chiller ever again.


Dwc since 2005

@gh0stm0de so you have one central tank that is chilled by the brewers wort coil and then that is pumped through multiples reservoirs?

How bad would it be to run different strains off the same reservoir??

Could I just foliar feed any plants that look like they have deficiency, if the majority look healthy.

I realize I will have to run strains that finish in about the same time frame.

Would love to hear about anyones experience with this.

Should not be a problem Loc Dog I run different ones in same rez.

Yes.

I recommend nybrewsupply stainless coils. 3/8 pipe or so to clamp onto or run pvc. Their coils were 50 idk now, for 25 ft of coil perfect shape and size for a 5 gal control bucket but usable for whatever control needed. Superior vs hydro innovations etc $150 for 12 ft of coil.

So, you cool a central rez with one pump to chiller and one for each of the coils youre going to run. I used same rez to also cool my lights when i did it back in 2010, with heat exchangers on each hood fed by one pump and returning to same rez.

I found that i lost efficiency by using coils , hard to quantify id guess 15%. Its cheaper on amps and pocket to go up in size on chiller than to buy two.

For what its worth its clever but i consider it a lottle ghetto nowadays. Seperate chillers cleanest method. Then again i do a lotta ghetto shit, cant make an omelet without such n such, as it were..

No wait i may have read that wrong.

The central rez is cooled by the chiller. A different pump, 200ish gph goes to each coil that is placed in control bucket of each system you wanna chill but feed seperately. Useful for perpetual growth staggering too not just diff strains.
