I'm so damned jealous!:thumbsup:
those pics make me miss my old basement, what a great, cool place to grow :thumbsup: ... you've done a beautiful job with yours, Xcrispi :thumbsup:
crispi, got any pics of the recirc buckets in action? Am I right that you recirc into the DWC buckets a bit above the water line to get a waterfall effect? I am going to grow some trees this time and have a parts list about half completed but wanna know how you designed your system to recirculate.
Thanks,
MVP :jointsmile:
P.S.
HOLLA! I do need a link to parts / supplies cheap

Here's a cpl. pics. of the mechanics of my system, and of the system recirculating .
The res. is 20 gallons , It's aireated w/ a dual outlet aquarium pump and 2- 6in. airstones . And it's always recirculating unless were checking PH / PPM .
There's about 12 - 13 gal. in the room , and 7-8 in the res.
The larger waterlines = water returning into the system from the res. via. gravity.
The smaller waterline = water from system being pumped back into the res. using a "Via Aqua 302" adjustable pump rated at 120. G.P.H .
Once a day you shut the 2 valves outside the room next to the res. in the black catch pan - the pump will take all the contents of the system and return it all into the res. for PH / PPM check and adjustments . Once the numbers are to my liking - just open the 2 valves and the system refills itself .
MVP - I've only dealt w/ a cpl. stores out your way . I really like the ppl. at "Texas Hydroponics" - they'll match any prices you can link them to , and the cheapest place I've seen most things is Plantlightinghydroponics.com . Wish you were closer to the East coast , The guy from "Liquid Sun" is way way cool :thumbsup: .
Peace guys

Here's a cpl. more current pics.
I managed to burn the piss outa the dirt plants and had to flush them real good yesterday and see how they recover . The hydro plants have some roots in the nutes now and are coming right along .
Reaper - here's a pic. of the algee you sounded concerned about w/ hydro .
I don't let it bother me . Once the plants are huge all the light is blocked and the algee dies . I used to use H2O2 to kill it but can't anymore as I'm using hydrogaurd now .
Weedhound - The righthand plant is W/H mix , The left is the Ghetto Ind. and both are seem to be unbothered by the nute buildup . Exactly what I need = strains that put up w/ my abuse :D
Later folks
