Hey D9 forgive me for asking things that are undoubtedly already answered in this thread, but it's quite massive and honestly a bit hard to muster through. I was hoping, if you wouldn't mind, answering the following ... or if anyone else in this thread who knows could do me the favor!
wick: What media do you use for the wick? Coco?
plant media: Is the top growth tail thingy filled with Turface MVP? Or is that something else? I presume you somehow got rid of all the smaller pieces and just kept the bigger stones?
pumps and feeding: How often do you turn that pump on and what are its ratings in terms of gph? I presume dissolved oxygen is created as the water falls through the media, yes?
PPK vs DWC: Any reason why, other than what admittedly looks like a much more convenient system, you'd use this kind of set up over recirculating DWC? In particular, is more dissolved oxygen created by this kind of feed than with
-- MH for Veg: It looks like you've got a 1000 watt HPS in that veg chamber. Any reason why you didn't use MH which has more blues which I presume would be better for veg? Maybe it doesn't make a difference but still would love to know your thinking on this.
Anyway it's truly a beautiful setup and an inspiration to see your great work. Thanks for being kind enough to share it with us...
