ok here ya go....first off forgive the look of the floor, the people that had the house before me used this closet for some kinda picture frame shop. the 1st pic is a poor quality of the overall. i just wanted to show the water flow and how it gets to where its going. the blue arrows shows gravity feed flow, the green it where the pump pulls from....a line comes from the control bucket to a tee to feed the 2 front buckets. a line from each of the fronts to each of the back buckets. a line from each of the back to a tee, then to the pump line and back to the control bucket......just a note on why it was done this way. in a passive setup(gravity) it didn`t pull the water equally to each bucket and caused nute problems on 1 or both of the back buckets. the pump was to big for the 1/2" lines, that is why i used the cycle timer on the pump. bigger lines would have solved this problem all together, i just used what was already there.
on to pic#2 this shows all the components, well it should speak for itself. now if you don`t use my feet you should be golden here. the air pump was a 4 outlet, i use 2 of them when running all 4 buckets. one handle the airstones and the other works the drip sections. i also have one that with 2 outlets for the stones in the res.. the risers just help gravity. the cutoffs are to isolate the pump if need be, i use plugs for the rest of the system.....
#3 just shows where the float valve goes in the control bucket.
#4 the res....not to bad after 2 grows and still running for 3-4 weeks with no plants. lol oh how we procrastinate around here..
#5 this is the tent that`ll be setup very similar. this will be the veg area. it is a 4x4. now the res., control bucket, filter and fan will all have to be outside the tent. i can say this i don`t like a tent!
well that`s it.........
