Hi I love them rdwc set ups just from experience I sit on 300 ppm the 1st weeks until the plant shows its eating all the food and wants more I think u will find they are stunted from too high ppm I've seen some on YouTube have heaps high ppm I just can't see how they do it without burning the hell out of the roots I did one of my best grows without going over 800ppm all the way to harvest the roots stayed pure white the whole grow. Of course it's totally up to you how you do it my mix was at 600ppm I added more ro and a dash of calmag toget the ppm back down to 450ppm I notice alot of growth every day I look at it. If u go 600ppm then 3days later it's 200 ppm yeah raise it but if it's still 600 3days later or even higher like 650 it's drinking more water they are definitely stunted tho buddy. Just trying to help.cheers

Nice set-up mate. RDWC is the nuts 😬 I had to stop using mine because of noise issues from the chiller and pumps going through to the neighbours!😠Do you run it sterile or with beneficial micro-organisms/bacteria? Good luck and happy growing!

@Grow_weed_Smoke_repeat, nice - thanks for the reply mate 🙏I seem to remember the chiller was the loudest component - especially as it is stopping and starting all the time to maintain a set temperature. They give off quite a lot of heat too so you may have to take that into account if you want to box it in. I've built a couple of bubbler buckets for my next grow with 250W light and they will be OK without a chiller - I only needed it when I was running a 9 pot RDWC with over 1000W of lighting 😁

@Hybrid, hey man, I use peroxide, a friend of mine works in greenhouses so I get it from him. The air compressor has been silenced with a 100€ DIY silencebox around it. I need to get the chiller but if that's noisey too I will box it also but I need to think of how first.
