I would appreciate it

I'm thinking about with my next harvest building a complete new DWC system. I had one built at a local hydro store and was not quite happy with it . My plan is to make a 4 bucket system using 5 gallon buckets and a reservoir. I would like to keep it in my current tent which is 4 feet wide × 4...

Okay thank you for all of your help . I'm in Illinois so it's legal now , so they made it legal for us with medical cards legal to grow 4 plants. Lol I definitely should have done a lot more research. But this is definitely an interesting learning experience.

Other than that I have nothing else to prevent it . From what I read the oxygen made by the bubbles from the airstones would help prevent root rot . Is there anything else I can do or should be doing?

I have 2 airstones in each bucket. Those help correct?

Here are a couple of pictures of my plants after approximately 3 weeks old from the pictures can anyone tell anything that the plants need like more nitrogen or calcium or anything like that ?

I definitely won't. He told me he was building me a " kick ass " system . I asked how much it would be he told me $300 max . I told him money wasn't really the issue I want a top of the line system ready to grow . Thats what he gave me . It also ended up being like $350

Things like bulkhead size hose size , set up in a 4 foot tent with the reservoir outside of the tent. Bucket placement everything. Can anyone give me the perfect set up using what I have . I have extra money to do what I need to do to perfect it . I just nwed advice from the experts

I just wanted to thank everyone here for your help . It's much appreciated. Say for instance I basically start this whole system over keeping reservoir and 5 gallon buckets and air pumps . My air pump controls up to 10 airstones with 2 in each bucket and 2 are in the reservoir. So if I started...

Nope he's the owner.

Interesting story the guy at my local hydro shop is who built this for me . I moved out of state unexpectedly for work but I have to go visit family here in the next week so I will have to go talk to him.

One more question I read the hoses at the bottom are not big enough because they will get clogged with roots . How do I fix that ?

Makes sense thank you . You had mentioned a valve to control water how do i get those or where do I put them ?

Sorry for the noob questions but are you saying I need to put a T connecter on those 2 hoses and then running another hose to each of those other 2 ?

2 of my buckets have t connects on top and 2 have just a single connect. Should they all 4 be connected?

I could definitely remove all of the feed lines and start over and would love expert opinions on how to do it properly

Ok so the submersible pump has a 12 in hose connected to it . Which connects to a single plastic connector which connects to another 12 inch hose and then that hose connects to a t shaped connector which has 2 12 inch hoses coming off of that on each side, and then finally each of those hoses...

Also on the return lines being completely on the floor I have my reservoir outside of the tent and the hoses ran through the very bottom of the tent . There is a pole at the bottom of the tent so the return lines have 2 elevate a tiny bit to get over the pole . Any suggestions how to keep them...
