FG, recirculating the buckets makes it easier to control the amount of ppm in each bucket as well a the ph, keeping them stable in each bucket...

if your not recirculating then its a big hassle topping off and managing all the buckets.. it's not extremely necessary but I don't know anyone who has made the modifications and not felt like it was the one of the best things they could do. And I also know people who haven't made the mods to the w/f's and are still having troubles...

In my opinion I'd drill out the holes to fit 3/4 inch ebb n flow outlets and daisy chain each bucket together with black tubing, w/ a res, but that's just me...

. Have a look at the W/F dwc club thread it will help you out. I'm currently building a recirc DWC with 10 gallon buckets

hope this helps Farmer Guy

d4twamp Reviewed by d4twamp on . Help setting up my first hydro systme I have been growing for several years now and have decided I want to try a hydroponic system. I have done some research, but am looking for some ideas for a set up. I have a bathroom I never use, so I was thinking about making it into a grow room, using the bathtub as part of my hydro system. I have never set up a hydroponic system before, is the bathtub a good place for one? This is a first for me, so any info on the setup of a system would be great! Thanks for any input. Rating: 5
