- 3 dozen clamps for holding liners and cover in place
- 'L' brackets for strengthening side walls of the gulleys
- reservoir cover
- pH and ppm/tds meter that stays submersed
- float valve with solenoid for RO system (and a timer)
- air stone(s) for res.

Just poppin in to see how your goin and then I seen that shopping list you got there and damn its a big one. I dunno how you hydro guys do it but best of luck to ya. My usual shopping list for the hydro shop only includes medium and nutes and thats costly enough for me lol.

i'm sure i'll just use 2' bamboo stakes as needed... i've got a couple hundred of those. This clone crop i have been focusing on keeping them short and compact. (I never did hook up the 1k HPS in the clone room, as it has been unnescesary. So that's my back-up ballast.)

so far the only thing i've come up with (for adding to the list) is that i'll probably have to add an aquarium type water heater if the temperatures ever cool down.

i have most of what i need now except the UV water pumps and the tubing, L brackets, boards, and valves.

Hey DG...hows it going.? hopefully things will cool down in the next 60dayz out here..its been a hot one so far... so how much did that list set u back if you dont mind me asking? so I take it the 10 foot 12'' board you use to create say like a curb, and then u line the floor and sidewalls creating ur own pan liner? thats at least how I interpreted the shopping list, would love to see it once up. much luck TM

i've got a bunch of hybrid seeds i've been sitting on that are deffinitely worth growing out.... Durban Poison, White Widow and White Russian were all pollinated with a G13xHash Plant (Mr. Nice) ... which also pollinated its female self. But right now i'm still just growing those base varieties minus the White Widow. (Pure sativa, sativa/indica cross, and a pure indica.)

ya, its been averaging 101 here. but i can get used to heat to a degree... i can't get used to cold - its just like Pain to me. :D ...w/tax:

$175 - 300 gal. reservoir.
215 - (12) 4 cu. ft. bags of sunshine perlite
360 - (2) 1700 gph water pumps with inline UV and timers
195 - (3) 10' x 13' pond lines
95 - (6) 2" x 12" x 10' boards
30 - 28 clamps for holding liners and cover in place
10 - reservoir cover
120 - pH and ppm/tds and temp meter that stays submersed
120 - float valve with solenoid for RO system (and a timer)
360 - 6 gallons each of G.H. Flora Micro and Flora Bloom
60? - miscelaneous tubing for overflows and inlets
20? - miscelaneous valves for redirecting water flow
50? - aquarium heater
60? - air stone(s) for res. and air pump
14? - 'L' brackets for strengthening side walls of the gulleys

Probably end up costing just under 1500 dollars to make the switch to a true hydroponic setup. Though 500 of that is for the new Nutes which are replaced every other time at most... and the Media which is probably going to be replaced every time. So really around 1000 to go hydro i guess.

Ya, the (6) 2" by 12" by 10' boards will make 2 boxed-in areas on the floor. Each rectangle will be 5' by 10' ... with 12" inch high walls that are 2" inches thick. These two gulleys will then be lined with the pond liner. Two holes will go through the pond liner (and the floor) for the inlet and the overflow. I'll use compression fittings for both. The reservoir will be located under the house. But i'll deff. snap some pics after i get it up. :blsmoke:

i wouldn't mind having 3 of those... 2 lights over each. it'd be a 12' by 8' footprint with them placed all together, which would be perfect. but, ya, i'm not ready to kick out 4.5k. So hopefully the DIY setup will serve it's purpose. Throw up a link if you happen to have one though... i'd like to see what i'm missing out on.

hey, what happened to the Link in your signature? You gonna start a new journal?

thanks, DG
