Yes I am currently using the Fox Farms trio in DWC. Started using it from seed and I am currently in flower now. My next run I will be switching nutrients and using the GH Flora series to see how they do.
- there are 3 lights in my veg closet ATM, total 3600w
How much actual watt draw is it though?

less than 1000. there's only 2 lights now.
I just got kangaroots, I'm excited to start adding it to the mix.Yes I am currently using the Fox Farms trio in DWC. Started using it from seed and I am currently in flower now. My next run I will be switching nutrients and using the GH Flora series to see how they do.
Edit: just added 10 ml each of that bacterial goodness into the 5 gallon dwc's
their ppm is running a bit high but I diluted and added some AN nutes earlier today. I think I'm just going to stick with FF in the 5 gallon DWC's and switch to AN in the totes, and use FF and FFOF exclusively for soil here on out.

Now I got all these extra GH nutes, but I'm sure I'll find a use for them. I have GH rapidstart and GH calmag (gonna use that in everything) on its way so maybe I'll just add one bucket with GH nutes, hate to see them gather dust in a corner.

Will I have to re-ph the FF solution for soil? or will the FFOF take care of that?
Lol use what you have as long as it’s working for you. Spend the money you save on genetics.
If you’re adding nutes from a bottle or bag I would ph the solution.

Also, I talked to @ProfessorFlora and @Rifleman maybe you can help too @Rich Farmer
I switched my totes from GH to AN nutes and the ph perfect will help me stay sane. Rifleman said there would be no problem switching companies like that.
My question is, when I change from AN nutes in soil to FF nutes should I immediately put them in pots of FFOF then feed them FF nutes? will this give them nutrient/ transplant shock?

No worries, nitrogen is nitrogen no matter who sells it to you.

"if it looks like S*** and smells like S***, Chances are it's probably S***"
Exactly, I used AN for a long time. I got tired of mixing 15 different bottles everyday.

I used AN as well and like PW I grew tired of the mixing and cost. so many bottles and so expensive but it grew great stuff. Itz ph perfect but some recommend you ph either way.

Update: 5-11-2020
Few brewskies, few dabs, few bowls later I'm here to give you my hopefully typo-free update. Judging from the way I typed the first sentence, it's gonna be tough. (thanks Grammarly) 
I decided to change the path of a few things. here are the bullet points:
- Totes will now use AN ph perfect. thanks to @Rifleman Few brewskies, few dabs, few bowls later I'm here to give you my hopefully typo-free update. Judging from the way I typed the first sentence, it's gonna be tough. (thanks Grammarly)
I decided to change the path of a few things. here are the bullet points:
A few more AN nutes are on the way. more hydroton clay pebbles on the way for the second tote. gonna have to get another tote just to use as a dechlorination rez- My soil grows formerly used (3-gallon pots still do) black gold soil and AN ph perfect nutes. All soil grows will now use FFOF, and to pair best with that I will use FF nutes and FF kangaroots for sturdy mf root balls
I'll include the FF soil schedule in the pics section.
I'll be ignoring the "feed twice per week" and just following @Emilya 's instructions to just water when light/dry. And I'll water properly, of course - My two 5 gallon DWC buckets will continue to use FF nutes. I can manage the PH chasing if the plants are willing for more ph swings than mood swings from a pubescent teen
- I have a lot of hydroponic shipments coming this week and next so I'll update you guys on all the cool stuff I get.
Picture time
I'll start the older plants on week two and the smaller plants on week 1Not many pics. Here's how I was keeping my AN nutes mixed. Still might use this in the future. This is a sh**** air stone I regret buying. I have better cylinders coming.
I was concerned about the yellow new growth on my quadline plant, but it's actually stretching out its top leaves and soaking up light. When it's drier and I'm ready, I'll put it in another 3-gallon pot but with FFOF. same with its failed LST sibling. I hope that one peps up its new growth or it's out the door.
Thanks for all the new folks joining in, and to all the people that helped me in my crazy, cannabis-fueled decision-making process in the past few days

I'm glad to have you. I've been fascinated about RDWC but I worry about algae or mold. I'll check out your journals for sure.

Update 5-12-2020
My high a** just remembered I have 1-gallon fabric pots.from now on my soil grows life cycle is as follows:
- seedling in dome
- 1-gallon fabric pot
- 2-gallon fabric pot
- 3-gallon fabric pot
- chop
- smoke
- repeat
I only have 3 critical purple seeds and I'm sure one is a dud. I place a brand new one right in a Gro block with Randy in the tote DWC. If it can't sprout in a moist, nutrient-rich, oxygen-rich, slightly humid environment then I don't know what to do.
My northern lights sprouted! unlike CP. it's about an inch tall. once more hydroton clay pebbles get here, I'll put it in a new tote with Randy and CP
Both Jackie's sprouted. I will grow them both in FFOF soil. They are about a half an inch tall. I lowered the light a bit because Quadline wanted more light and so did the seedlings.
Picture Time!
Too stoned to take pictures, not much has changed.
Small Cherry Blossom CBD has come to her senses a bit in the 1-gallon FFOF pot. she's stretching a bit and laying down her first true set. She clearly was either drowning or N-tox, or ph imbalance. Or all 3 probably. She'll come to her senses in FFOF I hope.
remember both of these plants are the same age! born on 4-20-20. one just got the short end of the stick I guess.
Quadline is stretching her leaves again! I can see the root system recovering slowly. When it's dry and I'm ready, I'll feed it FF nutes and switch to a FFOF 3-gallon pot.
Failed LST is hardly recovering. Better catch up.
That's all for now folks. Thanks for reading.

I have a feeling you may find that life cycle a bit tedious to keep up! That’s a lot of transplanting when not really necessary. Seedling dome to final home if you have space and it’s feasible for you would be best. Less stress, less time being handled, less room for mistakes. Keeping things nice, simple and relaxed is the best bet with these plants. Very hearty plants but also temperamental
. Just my 2c is all! Happy growing!- Thread starter

Photo Update: 5-12-2020
Ok I finally got myself up to take some pics. I'll run through a quick update after each photo. Enjoy.There's also R hybrid which you will meet below.
I coated it in rooting powder and plopped it in a gro block.ahem I'd like to point out that my environment has been within my target (on the notecard) for the past 24 hours
- I forgot to take a picture of the tote closet but I have Randy (random unknown) with a Critical Purple seed in 1 tote with my 2000w LED
- The AN nutes are putting in work, ph is stable and EC/ PPM is steadily falling with the water.
