sD's 6 bucket recirc. DWC White Rhino / Orange Crush

[skunkydelight]

Ok, currently, I have a lot of things goin on in the room....The 2 buckets on the left are empty, meaning they don't have plants or airline/airstones, but they don't have the dripper lines hooked up....Once I can fill them, I'll hook the airstones up. the back middle is hashplant10...the backright bucket is orange crush, the backright tubbler is hashplant10, the front middle bucket is o.c. and so is the front right bucket....the back left 1gal planter is O.C. and is a hydro experiment with gradan growcubes...also I have two White Rhinos from seed in 1gal planters on the floor. They are being sexed. Everything else is obviously female.

In the veg, the mom is Orange Crush...

Also, they are all at different stages of flower....I harvest 2-4 plants every two weeks or so...

I run Ph 5.5
TDS is about 1000
water temp 72
room temp 78-85

Damn skunkydelight, VERY nice to see the OverGrow wisdom relocate this is a kick-ass first post!! Perfectly described, hat's off to you man.
I'm very much considering this method to be my next experiment, don't have that much experience (check my sig) but it's threads like these that allow a brother to learn.
I think this thread hasn't been answered because there aren't a lot of people checking it. Try redirecting it in Indoor or Cabinet growing
Also, is this an expensive method? Already have lights, fanning & nutes.
Cheers

ps great strains too, looking forward to seeing the trichomes on them

hey Harvesthetic! Thanks for stopping by...I'll link this thread to the Indoor section and see what happens...
-Anyway, to answer your question, this is the most inexpensive system I've ever built....with h20 pump, I think it ran right around 100 bucks...the most expensive part is probably the 5 gal buckets, at least for me, at around 5 bucks U.S. per with a lid....I can give you a parts list with prices if you want, just let me know...Try it out man, you can leave it for a week and not have to worry...unless the power goes out of course...then you have a once a day babysitter to make sure all is well! Welcome to DWC!

Hey Skunky,

What's the white stuff in with your plants? I don't recognize it? Looks like croutons.

[tomknox]

are you dumping nutes into your bath tub? you might start some unwanted growth!!!!

Hey Skunky,

Gen, it's called GrowCubes by Grodan...the same people that make Rockwool Starter cubes, Rockwool slabs, etc....I'm switching to lava rock at the end of this cycle because I've been having problems with algea growing in the medium when it gets hit by light, because it stays so damp...I've also lowered my water level which helps the top stay dry...I've already lost like 5 plants to this damping off tho, so don't mess with growcubes unless you know what your doing....They seem to work very well to just stick in a pot and go soiless tho...you have to keep the ph above 5.5 or they will break down is another big problem with them... :thumbsup:

tomknox, that's a great point that I've never really even thought about...has this happened to you? What's your best alternative solution, the sink has the same issue, correct?
