I’ve been running perpetual for about a year and a half. This method has been dubbed “Simple Hydroponics” or “Capn Style”. All it is, is top feed over rockwool (RW) mini cubes. Normally the pot would be filled with cubes, but I ran short last month and needed to get her into bloom to stay on schedule. Because it’s RW, it retains a good amount of nutes while also draining well and holding a lot of air in the root zone. If I forget to turn a pump back on, I won’t see her sagging for about 2-3 days, and even then they always bounce right back as if it never happened. I too have a veg closet and two bloom rooms and take a pound off these Kush girls every month. Previously with Bubblelicious I was taking 20 ounces every month. Irregardless of which method you choose, I highly recommend using Beneficial Bacteria, even in R/DWC, especially in R/DWC as those systems are known to lack O2 in the water usually due to elevated temps. In my system, I don’t have to aerate or worry about nute temps as that’s not my source of O2. I also just recently switched to the COBs from 600 watt HID and I am IN LOVE. Much more trics, and they finish quicker for some reason. Maintaining PH is needed for every system to be successful.
If interested, Google search “Capn Syle” or “Simple Hydroponics”. There’s some literature on 420Mag forums and also Dude Grows.
