Waterchiller vs waterfall

[DRINKING SKULLZ]

G'Day mateyz

So I just had a thought. Would It be better to use the water chiller as a pump for a waterfall in a solo bucket?

Thinking one post is enough bud

Just saying

And f bombs probably aren't necessary

Dunno how to delete the other 2 threads. And didn't know how or where to put them.

But.. what do u think of the thread? Or is u an outside dirt grower? Coco?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Can't delete
I reported them so teddy will delete two

I have no clue what a waterfall is

 

[DRINKING SKULLZ]

Oh, ledgend

I didn't till tonight also. It's like a drop feed system on the roots. Im guessing your not into hydro?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

No I do DWC

Not a fan of top feed, seen too many drown there plants with too much water

How does chiller vs waterfall make sense, top feed dosent cool the water

Just noticed you purple kush from last year. Nice. But when the leaves are reaching for the sky. Apparently they want more light, bro. I'v never grown so I'll just shut up lol

Are you trying to suggest using the internal pump from your chiller to aerate the water with a waterfall?

 

[DRINKING SKULLZ]

Well apparently dropping water on the roots every few hrs is good... I mean like soon as ur root are in the water theres hardly no reason at all to top feed, is there? Apparently helps get the salts off to.

 

[DRINKING SKULLZ]

And the coolness of the water and splash would create more oxygen to.... wouldn't it?

Ok that makes a bit of sense Turbo

 

[DRINKING SKULLZ]

Hope I'm not intruding anyone.
Think I'll go hide now lol

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Not at all, asking questions is what we are here for

When are u gunna start growing

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Are Rez temps an issue where u live?

KISS. Don't try to reinvent the wheel your first go. Find a few people with setups on here that produce good results and clone that.

I believe you are talking about a top feed dwc. The top feed portion is usually discontinued after roots hit the reservoir as you noted because as Chris stated plants tend to end up drowning in top feed once they have submerged roots. With the right medium and a highly oxygenated solution with a big air gap yes you could run a top feed all the way through. I'm not sure what the flow rate for the chiller water pump is or how often it will run but that lack of control could contribute to drowning or dry plants.

Hopefully next month matey

 

[DRINKING SKULLZ]

Roger that champ. But I didnt think u could drown root that had no medium. That it was no light on roots Oxygen an water for hydro

 

[DRINKING SKULLZ]

No bro. Just research atm
