If you have access i would recommend the 13gal EZ Lok Storage containers.... those would be the ideal thing to use for these type of systems from what i found.. but they are a little more pricey than a 5g bucket... so that was the reason behind my descision.. I found the 13g online though just be searching 13g EZ LOK plastic containers and there was a site that popped up...
Yeah we will see how it goes with the GH !-1/4" grommets... I think they will work just fine for my setup... I didn;t want to wait for the Uniseals to come in and i got the 1-1/4 GH Grommets for way cheaper than i could've got the 2" Uniseals... Nice set up tho man... I was skimming through a grow mag and stumbled on the cch20 ad and went to the website and was very impressed. I have always grown DWC, but prior to this system it was a stand alone system with a 24hr pump running constant circulation and had great results... this is def the most elaborate thing i've put together and i am keeping my fingers crossed for the same great results that my previous DWC grows have brought me... These ones will end up around 3-5ft for my grow height... Appreciate the input mann!!!!I'm running an almost identical DIY UC system as well. I've seen some really amazing results over at
THCfarmer forums and they have a whole section of their forums dedicated to this growing style. I'm glad
to see a few people adopting this style on these forums as well as I think the system is really great.
I made some homemade 9" netpots and run my water higher than most without any negative impact
but I don't think root rot can exist in the 67/68 reservoir temperatures I have.
How big were you planning on growing the girls out? I've heard that 1.25" pvc can still get clogged
when the root mass becomes very large so I'd keep a strict eye on that if you're growing out larger plants.
But that's only what I've read a few places over at THCF, I have no experience with 1.25" as I use 2".

How have you been doing with your PH and what do you keep it at? Ill check my PH on the hour and try to adjust it to around 5.5 - 6.0 to get a wide amount of nutes. My issue is the PH always is wrong, even if I add a little and check it an hour later. Any advice would help me man, thanks bro.
