I'm a die hard photo man, I don't  like being told what to do. With the RUDEralis genetics they seem likely to do whateverit feelslike .  But each to their own.  12/12  till I die.  yen&yang  ☯️ 

I imagine you have tried coir/perlite.  You like the dwc better and what about power outages?

im thinking this is a 6 inch net pot? i like 6 inch or smaller these days. I learned Bigger aint always better. The reason i prefer a smaller net pot is because it leaves you with more room for Nutrient solution and more room for Roots. I used to think 8 and 10 inch net pots were the way to go but that takes up all the volume in the bucket
