[Iron top]

Hello I'm very new to this and have sent a couple of blogs but no reply I would really like some help n advice on DWC growing I've just brought a aero 4 master pot system and I'm in a bit of a muddle with ph levels what it needs to be at n once I've tested it the first time do I continue to test on daily bassis or only test when water tank is renewed once a week or so . Thanks for readin please any1 help if u can

Most people have a target of 5.8 for the ph and yes you should check it daily.
I usually don't adjust unless it's below 5.5 or above 6.

The couple of things which I'm really not sure of is my pump in the centre water tank/nutri do I have it on all the time or do I set on timer n how long for would u say n also my air stones do they bubble away all the time or on timer I did have a look for this info on the link u gave me but no luck but plenty of good info on there well everything really so thanks 4 that....

As far as the air pump it stays on 24/7. I'm not sure what other pump you are talking about.
Perhaps a photo of your set would help.

Oldman60 I'm struggling to put a photo on but the system is a recirculating system if that helps so I think the pump in centre resovoir is to just push the water n nutes round but I will keep trying to put a pic on but the system is called aeros 1v DWC that's word to word of the box So that's really bogglein my brain at the min......do u know wat pump I mean oldman60 Thanks again

Ok sounds like it's RDWC. Didn't the system come with instructions? I would go with what the manufacturer recommends.

Here is an ongoing journal using the same system that you are.

It may contain lots of answers to questions you haven't even thought of yet. I would subscribe and read - it looks like he knows what he is doing.
