How are you accounting for current vs. voltage curves, did you digitize them? I mean you specify a target current are you pulling the voltage value of the documented curve, or just using min/max values?

I got some fin heatsinks from MingfaTech for about $9 a pop. Nice quality. Check them out. MingfaTech.com

Reverse Osmosis. They sell systems all over the inter tubes. It’s a series of filters that get your end water down to almost 0 ppm (mine got it down to 20, off well water).

Yeah spend the money on a decent ph/ppm meter, you won’t regret it.

Fuk-in A!!! Awesome dude,

Where did you get those planting containers that fit so nicely on top of the 5 gal buckets? I like your setup.

I’m a little OCD, so I sterilize everything with a lite bleach solution.

Lol, I was talking about the meter. I check the pH continuously.

You know I started recalibrating every 2 weeks in the beginning, but found it wasn’t necessary because it was spot on. Maybe it was my environment. Definitely checked it at the beginning of each run, both veg and flower. Doesn’t hurt to check more often than less.

Agree! It may not be obvious but a 1” main line can supply enough flow for 4 0.5” feeder lines (given the sufficient input flow). Hence your manifold!

You are correct, but in my experience if your main line is large enough and you have enough flow, it should be minimal. As long as GPM out < GPM in, he should be fine.

Another thing you can do is create a loop, vs. single feed line. This effectively doubles the diameter of your pipe by feeding from both ends (given your main line is of sufficient size ). This helps equalize pressure so the guy at the end isn’t getting just a trickle. Put a T and valve at the...

I had 2 separate systems: 1 for veg, 1 for flower. The chiller set next to the resivour and had the system water/nutes continually pumped through it. I had a valve to adjust the amount of feedback flow through the chiller. Was able to keep a 16 5gal bucket system at a constant 68 degrees! Of...

@Moflow what is the "flattening area"? Are you going to SCROG her out?

Your buckets look a lot like mine, except I used 2" drains and insulated the buckets. But damn, roots looked jus like that! Great minds think a like.

My previous veg room used those. I had a double decker 16 bucket RDWC setup. It was pretty cool, if I say so myself. Single resivour system. I need to find some photos.

Thanks fir the photo. Nice setup. Looks like you can plants on both side.

Hey @ttystikk how do support those lights? How do you move them in and out to adjust the distance? Do you have some sort of rail system?

Not trying to contradict @zypheruk , but I have always done top drip just like you and have never had an issue with root rot. If you cover your rock wool and stones with some reflective or opaque material it should cut down on the algae (no light). I'm just talking from my experience. What is...
