Yea GB no question lolz in the early days I did try I did ok but that's real man AL has the table method perfected when it comes to digging multiple plant sites in single res setting it really isn't gonna get better I had to learn the hard way lol.

I will take some pix of my current build for this thread later I am doing a perpetual sog 5gallon buckets.
Think Ebbnflow but inline undercurrent recirculation. Simple and effective I will bump the build thread but break it down for this thread later.

U can sog dwc Dwc u have to keep them in there own pots tho like tables all I basicly have done was applied ALS ideas to my DWC to create my sog all it needs now is a screen. Woot woot

Heres some with about 4 weeks of veg and what u should expect if u allow ur plants to veg into trees and flower them out so id say utilize ur dwc to the best of its ability AND dont flower out babys but grow treez and let dwc grow ur plants to the best of its ability. Fullest potential maximum efficiency. lolz:hump:

Nope no leaks bro I used 3/4 inch connectors tho I see people running into issues with the 1 inch connectors.
For the 3\4 inch connectors its a 1inch drill bit for the grommet.
Only thing id change is the way I have my pump hooked up far as instead of tubeing I'd use solid PVC and threaded where it buttons up to the pump I can see how if not carefully u could spring a leak with the tubeing on the pump but none for me.
Only down fall about the 3/4 inch tubeing is if u don't have enough bubbles in the buckets themselves the system will pull the roots and I have had a clog but putting serious bubbles in the buckets straighten that out.
Good thing about the whole deal is u could easily pop the controller res outside of your tent man and get those res temps in check.
But yes its a hell of alot easier to maintain one res bro something I should have done long ago.

If that was for me bud., no this isn't my first grow but it is my first at sog..I've done my hundreds of hours research(mrs thinks I'm watching porn lol) . Easy is cool but I like a challenge...what I've learnt is that everyones situation/needs are differant...from chatting to all you very helpful folk, I've been able to decide what is going to work best for me...which will be....dwc perpetual bog! Haha..kudos to yall, no doubt saved me a lot of time and money...P.s anyone used the flexible airstones (hose style) to good success? Cheers

What kind of Dwc did u decide to do scroga?
I wouldn't bother with the flex tube its no better than the cheapy stones.
I'm not even using stones anymore just tons of air being pumped into the water about 10 watts/bucket now they kinda sound like there blasting off just keep in mind whatever u do even if u hook up an rwdc make sure u put air in all ur buckets keep them popping.
Good luck man.

This is me so far... got another tent coming for flowering.. think I'll flower Lil bushes.. guess the smart thing to do would be to use individual buckets for single plant/2weeks.. in the pic there is 2 querkle,1 cheese candy, 1 white widow revegging in soil from last grow.. couple of GDP in cubes and couple of autos to get me by while I'm. Waiting to clone mums...

Run lights 24/7. Autos flower with lights on and grow then too so its doubly good.

I just bought 18 4-gal black square buckets and lids from Affordable Buckets. I have an Expert Seeds, Afghan Skunk mother plant under a cheap multi-color LED lamp. I'm going to place the buckets in a 3x6 configuration under a 4ft 8-bulb high-bay T5 fluorescent fixture after I have enough 10 inch clones. Beware if you buy the same buckets I bought. You'll want to use a drill to cut the holes. These things are built Ford tough. My hands are aching right now and I've only got 6 done with a slide-adjustable hole cutter that I've been using by-hand while I'm waiting for the dock guy to finish unloading my wagon. Thank goodness I only brought 8. I have complete faith that this will work well. To link the buckets to my reservoir I ran black rubber line through a hole that barely fit and stuffed a barbed fitting into the line to spread it out to the edges of the holes. Not a single leak.
