1st Hydroponic Grow - White Widow

Here are some early setup pictures of my first hydro grow, DWC/Bubbler. I dont have my WW seeds yet but my order as of today they are in the mail, so hopfully in about two weeks Ill have em. Meanwhile Im still waiting for my hydroton rocks, my dyna-gro Grow nutes, and my net pots. And I need to buy a water pump and a 4-way hub to put lines to the rockwool. Like I said these are early setup pictures.

Here is a picture of my main tank with my external resevoir.


Here is the water gauge on the main tank


Here is my on/off for draining the main tank and refilling when it's attached to the external resevoir.


Here is the air hose w/ check valve just to make sure no water runs back into the pump if the power fails.


Here is my air pump.


Inside main tank- 2 8" air stones and 1 10" air stone.


Inside main tank- All seals done with aquarium glue no leaks

wow i bulding same sort of thing but getting bits from car boot sales so taking a while. i watch this one good luck with your grow!

Looks like a good setup. My only sugestion is to not bond the airstones to the bottom of the tub. You will need to clean the stones regularly as they get clogged quickly. Please keep us informed of the progress.

WW arrived today along with my net pots, hydroton and nutes. Ill post some pics later tonight or tomorrow of my grow setup all together. I won't be planting these until I harvest my other stuff https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/13612-1st-grow.html cuz I dont want to buy more lights and I want to bug bomb my basment before I start the WW

Here a some final pics of my hydro setup:

Inside main tank, with my water pump on the bottom


Cover w/ Net pots cut in


Under cover, net pots with water tubes cut into the side of each


MY WW!!!!

lil tip by the way, despite your great setup you build, if you happen to get access to an hole saw, this a drill with a saw blade attached to it use to cut holes for appliance into drywall and stuff, use that tho cut holes into the lid. puts less pressure on the net pots, some of them got holes up to the rim and like to crack if the holes they stuck into aren't perfectly round. also is it less hassle with a cutter knife, sucks to cut yourself with those, i know that one for sure


gone have another white russian on your grow

Here are some pics of my hydro grow room pretty much just waiting on a good coat of flat white paint, a good fan under the grow shelf, and the WW to germ.

Looking in:


Main tank w/ lights above:


External tank w/ humidity/temp gauge and exhaust vent:


Full exhaut vent w/o my carbvon scrubber (still in use with current harvest):


Fresh air vent w/o bug screen:

where did u purchase the smaller hanging lamps... (the lamps itself not the cfl's)

looks good man, keep us updated

how to clean those airstones?
