So I have been on these forums for a while now just reading but decided to start my own project. I currently am in no situation to be growing weed, however i love smoking and also growing all kinds of edible plants in general. I decided to build a hydro system. I wanted to copy the more expensive ones and build a low pressure aero system but after reading some stuff about them decided not to. In reality they are just more complex NFT systems because the mist produced by a low pressure pump does not break up the water/nutrient solution enough. So i decided to go with a flood and drain system. Using 4" vinyl fence post, endcaps, 3/4" pvc pipe, and 12 uniseal bulkheads i came up with this. 055.jpg056.jpg057.jpg058.jpg059.jpg060.jpg061.jpg062.jpg

looks great man!

get growing some tomatoes or something now haha


only one thing that i might have done differently is the way the tubes drain, i feel like there would be a small puddle at the end of the tube since the pvc drain is not all the way to the end. Very minor however :)
