I really want to try plasma lighting, just dont have the cash to blow. I use to use CDM at the hydroshop I use to manage. Id get great growth the first 4 weeks then after four weeks it wouldnt do shit.
At home I use HPS start finish, and a single 8 year old 24" T5 for clones and germination. But I have to admit the buds flowered under the MH are way more frosty..
Hey tty do use individual RDWC or are you using a controller? And what size uniseals or pvc? And have you had and issues with the pipes clogging?
I saw some dude using a recycling shallow water cultivation areoponic hybrid system.. he was using 32 gallon trash cans with misters in them.. pretty sick system he had, but seemed like to much room for a error for me.. but is was purty cool.. I would have just filled the 32 gal trash cans with soil it probably would have been better...
I use 8 tubs, 27 gallons each. Each tub has a site for one plant. The tubs are connected together with 1" screw on bulkhead fittings and 1" flexible hose.
There is one control bucket all the water flows back through to get pumped out to the tubsites again. It also has the copper heat exchanger coil to keep the temps in the water in the right range.
The water from the pump flows through a manifold which then distributes water to a fitting in the lid of each tubsite, where it then falls into the nutrient solution. This creates splash, agitation and aeration while effectively mixing the nutrient water continuously, no air pump or stones needed.
It works pretty well, proof is in the pics.
