Some net pots.And a little hydroton.
I used 3.75" net pots in this set-up.
A black 5 gallon buket.
A cheap single outlet air pump,a little hose and a 6" stone to get started..
Key points:
Reservoir:
Black bucket..U can also use the orange and even clear buckets. All u have to do is make them light tight by covering them with either duck tape..OR i got lazy wrapping and decided to start using black trash bags taped around the buckets so no light can get in..
Ur going to have to use what u can but light tight is the key..
If u can put it over ur head and see light thru it. Its not ready for water.
NET Pots:
U dont even really need the
FANCY net pots.. Although it does make life easier and they are real cheap if u have access to a dro store..
Ive personaly used regular soil pots with holes drilled in them.
Ive also seen anything to cheap plastic cups done the same way.
Just make sure u cut ur holes in the lid of ur bucket small enuff that whatever kind of pot u do use is unable to fall into the hole cut into the lid of the bucket. I trace my pots on the lids. Then take a marker and trace a new line around the inside of the trace and proceed with cutting from thier this always works without fail.
HYDROTON:
Id reccomend using hydroton if u have access to a dro store just because its cheaper then lava rock and its dark in color to help keep the light out of the reservoir water..
But u dont need the
FANCY Hydroton either.
Ive seen successfull DWC grows using marbles as well.
Id reccomend getting marbles dark in color.But if u have to use the clear glass ones just plan on covering ur pots.
Be back with pixels..
After a little consideration i didnt think it was neccesary to post pixels of a Bucket.Pump and Stone.
But heres a crappy one of the bucket already set-up anyway.
SET-UP is next.
PLEASE remember dont post until u see the Smoking Zong
