Hello all ,
my name is Absorber or Abe for short .
I have a custom designed grow with proven results .
It uses a 3d printed bell syphon to flood and drain the four 15ltr buckets in each tent , i have two 4ft² tents with 1ft clone/mother section on the end making the tent sizes 4ft x 5ft in total each.
I run 1000w phlizon lights @480w tops ,i have a 3d printed light lifter to raise and lower the light as its to difficult with a scrog net and tent full of plants .
I have a 2 zone controller for the tents and a common 250mm extraction fan and carbon filter fitted under the floor and you can see the 3d printed purple Y piece with 3d printed electric shutters controlling air flow from each tent via a humidity sensor . The fan runs at half speed when 1 tent calls for fan ( regardless of which tent) and ramps up to full speed when second tent calls for fan .
I run cyco nutrients and calmag
Thats it no boosters or anyting else apart from ph buffers .
I have a chiller on the resevoir.
Ive just converted the second tent to a bell syphon settup as it out performed the SIP pots i had in there as a comparison .

Warning some potty language in video's

Nothing currently in there but im going to take some cuttings off this Green Crack from Canuk seeds and they will go in if they make it .
The white pipe you can see on the top of the resevoir has the bell syphon in it it has pipes on the side connected to the buckets .
Any questions you may have fire away:cool:

More like a flood and drain in buckets without a timer on pump

So it floods and and empties, net pot and then free hanging roots? So roots get water /air/water/air constantly? Am i getting this right?

Thats rather knarly! Only thing that would worry me is roots in the drain.

Yes the whole bucket fills and empties continuosly and water fills from top .
And yes at about mid grow i can see the drainage slows so i pull roots back from drain pipes ,its not hard to do and only has to be done once but im working on a solutuon for that ,that will be to come in future post :cool:
