So, my boyfriend and I created a drip double-bucket system.
It consists of a 5 gallon and 3 gallon bucket inside of each other. We drilled holes in the bottom of the smaller bucket to let the tubing come up and the water drain down.
180gph pump with 4 tubes, Lava rock for a medium, General Hydro nutes, and tender loving care. We put drip heads on stakes into the lava rock, and it holds them well and lets them drip right onto the plant.
The plants in the system are clones from our soil plants. The spots on the leaves are just cloning stress, and they all have healthy strong roots. We're running the system 4 times a day for 15 minutes. If you have a better time table PLEASE LET US KNOW.
PS! also as a special treat I included photos of the home-made air filter we made. On a tip from a user here, we're using Fresh Step crystals instead of carbon, hence the blue.
