Did the first run today. Had a leak in my res bulk head. Going to go to local pet store tommorow and grab some aquarium silicone. Probably put it around all my bulkheads to ensure no leaks since all I could do was tephlone them. Didn’t want to risk welding them with the pvc cement. Also pump...

Here is the prototype. Welding now and test run tommorow. I’ll add the res in after I get these welded

I read this way too late. Just about done with the dry build I’ll take pictures before I prime weld and paint. Just waiting on my new kickass lights too come in and I’ll be ready to roll!

Hydro farm 1000 gph

I’ve been looking at your pictures for weeks now man it’s really helped. I was talking about making the line that goes up to the water falls a half inch. The 1 inch poly line will connect to the 1 inch pvc then I’ll split a 1/2 inch line from there through a 1 inch t split. The one inch line...

I think I’m going to try that split and go down to half inch for my waterfalls. Here is a anther chicken scratch scketch to go with it On your system you have polyvinyl tubing throughout I’m talking about taking a foot or so off to add this.

So I’m trying to come up with a way to create waterfalls in my buckets without using another pump. I was thinking of splitting my intake to split it between pushing into my tubs and putting waterfalls at the top. My pump is rated for 1000 gph and my total water shoud only be ~60 gallons. Have...

Will do. I called my local hydro store and will be going there tommorow for the tubing. Guys pretty chill there and I’d rather support my local business than go to Lowe’s or HD. I’ll be back tonight with some pictures after dinner of the progress.

I’ve read everything on growweedeasy.com it was my go to for diagnosing plant problems and general info. They don’t have anything on the RDWC especially undercurrent. Thanks for being my resource man! I’m going to check Lowe’s by me they may have it. Going to start putting some stuff together...

Cool thanks. What’s the black flexible line called?. I can’t find it at my loacal HD

Found my feminized seeds still sealed from 2 years ago. No water damage and it’s been in pretty moderate temps. They should still be good right? Like I said they are also vac sealed.

Did you have problem with draining your containers? That was one of the big advantages that i can think of for raising the tent/containers. The tent that I’m getting is 72” inches tall not 80. Also what brand of ph and ppm reader do you use? I also have the 27 gallon totes I thought they...

Thanks for the tip. Since I’m creating the platform I guess I can just plumb it under the tent which would eliminate most of the plumbing.

Hey guys I finnaly got the space and time to start this up. Phase 1 planning. I posted a picture of a rough sketch of my plan. For anyone who can’t decipher my chicken scratch I have 3 55 gallon hpx containers. 2 inch return to my res that will be outside the tent. With a 1 inch flexible line...

Are you weaning off your fertilizers? Could be a sun spot if it’s right under your light.

I was agreeing with yah man just thought I’d add in the math that I did. I think RO water is the way to go. You start with a blank slate pretty much. The only thing is you have to add is calmag; since you pretty much start from 0.

At what weeks did you do your major trimming?

That’s the short route but it’s at 50 cents a gallon on the low end. Even a small system holds 20 gallons of water. That’s $10 a run. I would recommend putting a RO system in the house since they are not horribly expensive. It would pay for itself if you are in for the long haul. It also has...
