    A few changes since we last talked. Like you I have ditched the RDWC system probably the best decision I made despite the cost of setting up the RDWC good riddance I say. Hated everything about RDWC and couldn't control the root rot no matter what, sterile or live it always came back even with low temps.

    Mate of mine has a IWS system and he can't put a foot wrong despite being very lackadaisical about almost everything he still does well.

    When I say I ditched my system I converted it to a sort of top feed recirculating system with all of the roots safely in rockwool croutons (changing to 60/40 clay/coco for next grow). I feed 3 times a day for 15 minutes each feed.

    I've upped my ec to around 1.8 max (0.2 or less background) and upped my PH to 6.3 as I was getting calcium deficiency, seems to have sorted it.

    Feeding GH 3 part and like it but took me a while to get the ratios right. No flowering boosters or PK just silica and root booster with a dash of Maxicrop. I may try a change for my next grow as PH does need adjusting on almost a daily basis (it is dropping). I fancy a run with Botanicare Pure Blend Pro + Atami Bloombastic + silica + root booster + Cal/mag.

    Best of luck mate, here is a picture of my chopped up RDWC very DIY top feed recirculating system, no airstones collecting pathogens just a waterfall into the epicenter. recirculating 24/7.

    Sorry for hijacking your thread Geordie mate
