How to Setup a RDWC System- PA Hydroponics Stirponic 4 Bucket System Installation Troubleshooting

[@D.Frasure]

I bought the same set up from Gary and have produced some monsters. Gary is just a likeable guy and I want to support him and his businesses. grow on brother! EDIT: actually watching more into the video it's not the same set up as mine but close.

[@Litty4Really]

Definitely a different way of growing bro. Been growing in RDWC for a while now and I can say you did a really good run thru of everything!! I started off exactly like this too but as time goes by it does get easier! It is expensive to start off like you said. I would keep buckets ready with RO water for when I need them and getting a separate reservoir was a game changer!! I have a a blue lab pH controller in the reservoir connected to my 18 bucket system I use for flowering. I use to spend most of my time checking pH on all plants every other day, but with that controller, I now use the time to Scrog and train the plants! Anyways, awesome video!! 🤘🏼

[@HowWeedGrow]

Yeah. It definitely gets easier and now it’s routine. Plants are thriving now and they’re huge compared to my soil grow.

[@Microtonal_Cats]

"How to make mass produced stuff not suck." VERY well done!

[@tpsnutrients]

Such a great walk through! Thanks for spending the time to go through with such detail! Will for sure be following the progress of this grow🙌

[@D.Frasure]

Love the idea of plant stands and hose clamps, I'll use that after this grow.

[@Cultiv8tor]

use stands of different heights, the tallest the furthest away from pump. and 5'' is too high, it's wasted grow space, but make water run down hill to the pump imo. the plant can get tall and you'll need all the space u can get.

[@djq27]

His fallponics setup is killer. It's worth mentioning that polyurethane hose works best if you heat with a torch till it sweats then put it on the bulkhead to cool. It will seal better. Won't even need clamps. And it won't leak. Gary builds some nice stuff, but 1" lines are scary bro.. I'm nervous for you lol

[@HowWeedGrow]

Exactly what I said would happen, happened, avoided a flood because the water level indicator, I really can’t let the roots get big at all.

[@djq27]

Also with those bulkheads, 1 gasket inside, 1 outside, dont double them up.

[@HowWeedGrow]

@@djq27 I tried that, it leaked, the double on one side has worked better for me

[@Grasscentral4705]

​@@HowWeedGrowThis system in the video leaked?

[@agustingonzalez6912]

It leak because the clamps get to tight and broke the polyurethane hose. Sorry for my english

[@milesoreta4653]

Aloha from Hawaii. If you are thinking about trying rdwc in Hawaii you will need a chiller. Our temperature here is low to mid 80s on the average. I run a iceprobe chiller and a 16 gallon aquarium chiller. Keeps water temp about 69 to 72 degrees. Any warmer you may start to have root problems. Just my personal experience, hope it helps

[@HowWeedGrow]

Yup. Check my channel. I bought a chiller and plants have been doing great since

This is expert level 4sho

[@graysonoaks]

what size tent do you use for a 4 bucket system?

[@RIBBY_BOY]

Wicked set up

[@bobbygump8142]

So when you first set up the RDWC system, do you fill all of the buckets as well as the reservoir or just the buckets?

[@HowWeedGrow]

You can’t fill one up without the others so all of them

[@Mattymu]

Would you reccomend this rdwc vs just dwc because of having access to a reservoir vs having to check the individual buckets?

[@HowWeedGrow]

Not this one, the only ones that work are the waterfall systems, because these have proven to clog and flood. Also, only if you’re doing all the same strains

[@MultiHotFlash]

To prevent leaking use silicone epoxy.

[@DannyJay618]

Tip for bulkhead fittings: Always put the gaskets/washers on the non-nut side. The side with the flange. ;)

[@davismcmoney5342]

What is the benefit of tying them all together vs having separate dwc buckets.

[@HowWeedGrow]

It supposed to be easier but now that I’ve done it, i think it’s more difficult

[@D.Frasure]

Good tutorial.

[@Oppenheimer1968]

Hello growmie- do you have issues with roots clogging the 1inch lines?

[@HowWeedGrow]

Definitely, you could use paint strainer nets

[@ultramegaclay]

how long can the air pump hoses be? like if i want to put the pump in an entire other room?

[@andylenz6246]

Why have a water level indicator on rdwc?

[@HowWeedGrow]

To see how much you need to replenish without opening anything

[@Cultiv8tor]

a little silicone goes a long way to avoid leaks. the clamps alone never work.

[@wildboris1]

I dont get it, is there not a reservoir?

[@HowWeedGrow]

There is but it’s outside the tent

[@Tecknut75]

Dude, Great Video! Aw you growig Meth ? I just trying to keep my Basil alive when it snows i Boston. Lol. Isn't all good, ❤

[@patty.cakes.]

For reference: bulkhead leaks

[@HowWeedGrow]

In the beginning they did, but after I filed them and they “set” for a couple of days, no more leaks

[@leeadickes7235]

Top feed and keep the water level to a minimum.

[@IRBry]

damn you took a lot of effort to save a 20$ pump

[@TheEntropyLab]

Loses water 😔

[@x1Conan3Spartan0x]

Goals

[@HowWeedGrow]

Don’t do this, do the single buckets in the masterclas

[@KarlaRauschenberg-r1p]

Keeling Manor

[@SK0AL]

Waste of space

[@D3M0z]

Use a little wd40 spray the sticker and let it soak for a sec will come off really easy then wipe with some alcohol works wonders

[@HowWeedGrow]

I’ll try that next time. Thanks for the tip
