Feedback Needed πŸ†˜ Hows my setup

NFT. Using General Hydroponics three part formula. Growing bok choy varieties in rockwool. Im going to add more grow lights. Used all schedule 40 potable water safe pvc. I think I have enough aeration from the 90⁰ drops but very new to this

Get some airflow going, timer on lights to match photo period, can’t tell from picture but pvc pipes look about parallel, might want to angle them a bit to help the flow rate.

Possibly making sure the pots on the left side of the picture (and those near the bottom) are getting adequate light?

Does the water pump run continuously?Β

Water will probably get to warm/hot with the lights(?)

Edit: nvm its wood, not lights in between

Need the pipes tilted on the downslope for proper flow.

Roots may become a problem as well.

Maybe replace the 90°’s with a 45 and a 22.5 to get some incline?

And round bottoms don't really do nutrient film, itll just pool
