Re: DIY rDWC system

Re: Organizing grow area

i think the 48 site cloner is about 2x2. and frank has a 4x4 tent. so 2 would fit. you'd have to do something similar to get 96 plants in a 4x4 area anyway. and isn't the cloner aero based? after the roots are decent, you could just add some airstones and convert it to a dwc and turn off the aero st...

Re: DIY rDWC system

yeah, i actually have 2 pieces of panda film with cutouts for the netpots. white side up. the paint is just to give me extra protection.
