Not quite, but most top feed systems all have the same idea.
You may want to have air stones in each bucket; it would help to keep nutrients mixed up as well. You may want to use more of a fill & drain technique. Fill the buckets for x amount of time ever few hours or so. Leaving a small amount of water in the bottom of each bucket with air stones to feed them in-between each water cycle. Each water cycle will bring fresh nutrients with it and balance the system.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . New growing system I plan to grow next crop in a new system ( enhanced one ). 6 buckets connected together and connected to a rez. The 6 buckets are 1 foot over the rez. No airstone in the buckets but lot of air in the rez. A water pomp to throw the water from the rez to the 6 buckets in a continuous flow, 24/7, this water go back to the rez afterwards. Is it close to your drip system, Zandor? Fhydro Rating: 5
