I dont think anybody should BUY a hydroponics system, there is one big thing about growing is to keep it one the LOW :) now why would you go an buy a system, maybe the cops keep an eye on that place...or maybe he keeps a list ? even if you pay with cash...do you think he has a pen handy to write down your plate number? hmm i love the hardware store, plus you look prof. buying there too :) the ladies like a man who is a proffesional :) just build your own stuff if u smoke weed you have an imagination

I totally agree with Hardtimez, anyone with a computer and a little imagination can put together almost any kind of system that they need, just look around and think about it, the hardware store has everything you need.......

Like I was just thinking that I have an area in my op that has enough light to warrant a few more ladies...

But I am kinda strapped for cash right now so I went looking around the house...

I found...

1 - 185 gph water pump

2 - 5ft of flexible hose

3 - 18 gallon tub (the res)

4 - bottom half of a 32 gallon rubbermaid (the tray)

5 - 11 6" pots

6 - some string

7 - some gravel from the driveway ( I would have preferred using hydroton, but the gravel was free, we'll see how it works)

It is a recirculating drip/squirt sytem...

The water gets pumped to the individual pots via holes in the hose.. and returns to the res via holes in the bottom of the tray...

I plan on running it 4 hours on 15 min off... during lights on...

Simple as it gets, and although it was not free, most people here have this stuff at home...

Here is the picture...

and I'll make sure to bring updated pics when the time comes...

Cheers...

Can anyone direct me to any info about complete automatic hydro systems: requirements, materials...step by step for dummies like me! I have a 10 x 10 room I want to convert into a perpetual green-space. I need to know approximate costs and whatever resources and techniques that would improve my chances for success.

Thanks VV...

I appreciate the help...

I solved the plug problem at home... lol... you'll see...lol...

Also I figured I'd mention that I will be re-doing the pots, with the hose running lower... below the RW cube level... they are just getting soaked...

But other than that.. it works like a charm...

Thanks again VV...

Advice on , nutrients?

I have a 10 gal ressevior, if i start with full strength nutes, should i just add nutes at the rate of fresh water that i add now, roughly 3 gal every 2days is its use, or I am getting my nutes to low because the plants are taking the up, henceforth do I have 7 gallons of just water in the tank, any one have advice on this , I have sickened plants bfore over nutes, but i think i am losing time over safety. ph 6.0 tapawater, nly needed to bring it down te once on adding full strenght nutes at startup.

thx
happy mothers day
