Filling the buckets can be a little tedious some times @denavici. My 3 buckets in my Veg tent drink a gallon a day, then my rdwc setup has 3 buckets that drink 2 gallons a day during flower. I mix 5 gallons of nutrients at a time in the blue plastic jugs. I have a top off reservoir I dump the 5 gallons into, and it fills up to my settings. Draining the system every week, flushing my roots, then filling it back up takes a good hour or more.
But all the extra work pays of in the speed of growth, and the size, quality, taste, and smell of the flowers.
If you have your system all dialed in, of course…
I run continuous Ec and Ph monitors and look at them regularly throughout the day. I did pens at 1st, but they’re very time consuming. I’d rather just glance at my wall real quick.
Congrats on getting your temps down my friend! It can be stressful to know your plants are in a hot environment. My last lights I ran were hot and I struggled with 85-86f temps for a while. I get it.
