hey jazz good to see ya back and yikes what a hostel start to this thread. Dam i wish peeps would get the facts before they judge. all they have to do is look at your last grow and they would know.
hey you said your looking for something new to grow in. So i had a thought for ya if you go to a web page called hydroterracorp.com and look around you will find a 3gal black bucket (
http://hydroterracorp.com/3gallonand5gallonblackplasticbucketsandlids.aspx ) and 8" net pot bucket lid (
http://hydroterracorp.com/premiumroundmeshbottompots.aspx )and a water farm kit that fits the 8" perfectly(
http://hydroterracorp.com/generalhydroponicswaterfarmfarmkit.aspx ) all for about 25.00 to 27.00 i think. Or you could just use the links. lol. Thats what i'm using now. hes local for me and a great guy. so just take a look. i have 2 now and just love it
It all runs on air. I put a air stone in the bottom of the bucket and the air farm kit will pump water up to the top of the bucket. I also zip tied a 5" net pot upside down in the mesh pot lid and cut a hole the size of a AG cup. this also helped in the amount of hydroton i need to fill the 8" net pot and man the plants just love it to. you have to do a little DIY to it to get the best perfomence. But i have seen what you have done so far . So that should be no thing for you
i have 2 running off a wisper 60 air pump and i have air to spare. So this just might fit your needs i think. if its not to big
good luck man and good growin
