Hey
Whats up all ? i just finished a harvest and grow journal not to long ago with a NFT system it all went well. Now i am expanding as we have opened a medical marijuana collective in CA and have the proper paper work to go ahead and law down some seeds for our members.
So over the last few days i have been reading many DIY tutorials and the last couple have been the Ebb and Gro DIY for the control bucket. http://www.aquahub.com/store/diygbuildebb.html
I have a good deal on a brand new control bucket from a hydro shop so i will just be buying one i think as it would be same price to make.
My HYBRID idea is...
Using 5 gal buckets, setting the controller to flood the buckets to say half way and leaving the upper half to some NFY sprayers.
My goal is to have the Control bucket flood the plant buckets half way then the sprayers come on for 15 min intervals and if the water level gets to high in the bucket i will drain it back to the resvioir.
The problems i see are just getting my timing right for he flood and sprayers so i dont over fill anything and flood stuff.
i have 20 x 5 gal buckets , ill get a 70 ish gal resivoir, set it to flood 50 gals into the buckets , which is half way filled. Then make the sprayers activate for 15 min intervals every couple hours. , after a few sessions of the sprayers the control bucket would then Drain all buckets back to my main resivoir in which i can control temps and do my flush's etc.
Here is a little blue print , please let me know what you guys think of the idea ! i may start creating it today i have most of the parts in the house now !
