Just felt like posting this page of snapshots of my latest grow style. A recirculating rdwc.
700 gph pump
35 watt air pump
5 five gallon buckets
4 to grow and one control
float valve
five gallon reservoir
6 bulb t5, 4 footer
5/8 garden hose with rubber grommets for return lines
1/4 inch spray lines with no drippers or misters as I dont want any clogs causing spills.
maybe later tho.
This is the veg setup. One thing I would change is to make two smaller setups using 300 gph pumps. The reason being is that with a smaller pump I can run the pump 24 hours without chiller and get no heat buildup. No root rot yet, however I pump a lot of air into the control bucket and a the individual bucket. As it is now i have to turn the pump off for a half hour every few hours. It radically cools the pump water down. The temp is around 75 ocasionally or so but I have no probs yet. That is a max temp. I can increase the outake fan to keep it cooler in the tent.
What I like best? The float valve. I am the lazy bastard this thing was made for. It allows me to ignore it for prob a week. In flower each plant prob drinks a half gallon a day to a gallon! So ph balancing water every night with work too is a pain.
the strains are some kush varieties.
The light is a little high. But i do have probs with plants overgrowing tents.
