this isnt the res the main res will be stored remotelyand will gravity feed this controller.
the controller simply controls the waterlevel in the waterfarms and recirculates the nute solution. the thing that sets this system apart from any other recirculating system your ever going to see is that instead of a water pump my solution is all recirculated using air power negating the need for another airstone.
with 4 waterfarms the whole system will recirculate every 1hr
and here it is bubbling away

thanks buck but its nothing that could not be done by anyone who wants to put in the time and research. i tell u what its going to save me some dollars in the long run and u would be hard pressed to find a better hydro system imo

yeah i have not tried coco but i here it is great. but for me u cant beat the automation of full hydro and thats what the control box is all about.
u could do without it but u would have to have your res at the same level as your waterfarms. for me i want easy access to my res. i want to be able to easily disconnect it and take it upstairs if i want and i want everything to be automated im sick of changing the tiny waterfarm res every 2 days with this new system i hope to be able to fill it once a week and forget about it. in theory i could go away for a week and my plants would be fine bigger res means i could leave it even longer if i wanted so for example if i wanted to go on holidays i could just attach a larger res and everything would be apples for 2 weeks or whatever u know. no more stress

Just harvested some homegrown carrots, purple fuckers called "Purple Haze F1". One day I'd love to be self sufficient and go off the grid, stop cunts ripping me off for power, water, food etc...

Finally hooked up my you-beaut LED that's been lying around for at least a year. I think it has 72 2w LEDs, 24 in each of the 3 light colours (red blue green). It is fan cooled and has a digital readout where you can set it on white 0-100%, or adjust all 3 colours by individual%.
