I have tr-yd 6 in one rubbernaid 2 were male and ended up with 4 females but they were to crowded. I would do the 6 buckets and set up 1 resivore to control all 6 sites. its allot less work when you use one res that way you don't have to pick up each bucket to check the Ph.
Sorry but unless you have a recirculating sytem with a pump you still have to check each bucket. Not just the main rez.Quote:

As far as water. You start your cuttings in a cloner or rockwool or jiffy starters. In DWC the water should be right at the bottom of the net pots for rooted clones and then you can drop it just a little when the roots hang in the water.
i will have a 7x4 frow area. dose any one know what will happen with high temps with hydro? dose it just kill the plant? or slow down groth kinda like soil? the deal is i can only grow six plant and want to get the most yeild i can from the six girls.
in hydro if your area isnt well ventilated it will get very very humid. also roots dont like warm rez.water
That size room and 6 plants. Go buckets and a 1000 HPS. If you can get a chiller the temps can be higher. Otherwise you need A/C. Water temps should be kept around 70 degrees. Max oxy in water at 68 degrees.Quote:

Most of the time higher rez temps means root rot.
