Fast Veg- 5 day pictures

[AquaponicHerb]

Check it out, the bell siphon driven vacuum and the Venturi drive are really doing their charm. The double Venturi and the saturation have been outfitted for stealth with insulation. I modified the bubbles so they are about 30-50 microns, which seems to be the best oxygen transfer rates with my particular 375 gph twin pumps.

Anyway this is 5 days of veg. I actually transplanted into this bucket 6 days ago, and this is my progress. I'm converting my entire crop to "Suckit buckets" for a number of reasons:

-growth rates in veg

-the shredded rockwool/lavarock layers act as filters for both water and air passing through bucket

-large aeroponic chamber under medium for roots to grow into, since the bucket self seals between fires, the roots are in 100% humidity with no need for any kind of foggers misters etc

-buckets are stable, they are heavy as shit, and the bolts/lavarock/rockwool combo design grows big trees

-easy configuration with non-static approach; buckets can be mounted many ways.
For my use 2x4s on cinder blocks are cost effective, stable, and easily reconfigured

-cost effective design. venturi is easy to make and bell siphons are just pvc fittings

-40LB surge-to-res created by bucket can be used for many applications, I double them back through a nute-mixing venturi chamber

Getting really good growth rates, huge leaves, and thick stems. Trees will soon live here....:hippy:
