nice work mate, would say airstones, but youve sorted that one.
Cheers m8, ye got the venturi injector on 2 tubs now. Strange thing is - cant rly see any difference on with or without - growth wise. I think the "waterfall" into the res produces loads of o2 in H2O. Still gonna keep the injectors - found a article here in rollitup on Co2 dissolved in the water. Need to try that, was rly nice figures, like 170% growth on some flowers. Maybe i can cut a week or two on veg w that.... Anyhow need to try it

my mucka who grew a bit, used co2 tabs from the aquarium store and swore by them.
Well need to look into that. This is the thing about the growing i rly love, look into new methods and learning by doing
Cheers for the input m8

Cool concept Icarrus! I heard/saw the floating raft method before, just with things like lettuce in greenhouses.
It'll be interesting to see how this works out weight/growth rate wise. I see you've addressed issues well as they've
come up. Ingenious use of the radiator, even if it's not as efficient as a chiller. Bravo.
I think the waterfall will help oxygenate well. It's similar to flooming from my understanding.
I use an undercurrent, and at one point want to try to waterfall all the sites, to create turbulence and improve
aeration.
Someone else mentioned the SoG clone to flower method with the raft, and I'm inclined to agree, but only
because of weight/stability. I know those were covered, but since I can see the system I can't get as good
a view on that.
I'm subbed.

Cheers mate! Light depending on the room and setup. Lol yes we tries ALOT of different tech on the site. Let see;
The bloom room we redid this weekend 4 x 600 hps.
One bloom room 4 x Apollo 10 LED units. Sooo exited to we the results there
One is mix of leftovers tbh. A sad room
Aerofonic clone boxes cfl. Had a MH there before but was needed elsewhere.
Veg room 1, 4 x 600 mh
Veg room 2, 2 x crap China leds and 2 x mh units

Cheers livingcarnavas! Again I'm not here to brag about system setup - I'm a learner, and your input is vital! ofc my partner would whoop my ass for posting pics lol.
Lemme chk if I can post a video on utube w some special viewing permission. Any one know if that's possible?
The raft setup is a undercurrent system. I'll use tubs w different heights to keep the flow. The pump is feeding the highest tub, and a constant flow feeds lower and lower tubs. Last tub feeds the res.

Pic of the new Bloom room - plz ignore the lamps, not done yet
Looks good but do i need my 3d glasses for these pics
