Easy Homemade Hydroponic System
This is the same system we have put together from another site we seen, we would love to talk to you about how you went about your grow with this unit and the steps and amount of water vs nukes and lighting that it took u to use it correctly to grow, this is our first attempt and have became addicted already , just need a little advice from a user of this type system?? Is there anyway we can e-mail you and trade info. for us two crazy chicks in need of info.

We was going to start out with two of these setup's and put 5 plants in each setup and was needing to know if a dual 400 watt mh/hps setup system would be enough for two of these setup's sat side by side??

Before you buy 2 400 watters, why not one 1000 watt HPS? You get basically a 400 watt light for 200 more watts and almost triple the lumens. 400 watt = 55K lumens, 1000 watt = 145K lumens. Lumens = big budz. By the way, nice efficent setup, Postman. I am going to construct two fo those for moms, and I had already thought of the PVC inner frame before Zandor mentioned here. Should you want to build one, here is the a link that has all the fittings you will need.

I made this exact system for my first grow, although I used a larger tub that was able to hold 6 plants. A couple things to watch out for, the tub will begin to bow the more water you add, especially if you have to drag the tub to and from a water source. For this reason I would reccomend adding some type of valve at the bottom of the container so that you can easily hook up a pump and pump the water in and out. If you do this make sure you seal the valve really well because you dont want it to start leaking one day when you arent there. Another problem I ran into is that the plants grew so fast some quickly outgrew there allotted space while other were slower to grow. I would reccomend only three or 4 plants. For and 18 gal tub I use two plants, however if growth is controlled and flowering is induced early you could opt for a more sog method. Good luck with your grow. -Diz:rasta:

i heard that the roots get tangled up between the plants sometimes, what i want to know is how long can they stay in this system, i have not found any photos of the plants maturing, flowering etc., is this just for cloning etc.

Looks amazing, but the solution of nutes cost big bucks dont they? And iv read logs on hydro and the list of nutes/ferts are long. Also, it seems like there are always a problem with the ph all the time?
Im new to this, but i just see it a lot.
