I just posted pictures of this in my journal, but I thought I would make a thread just for it. I think it's amazing so I thought I would share it with you guys. After all, the only reason I know about this technique is because someone shared it with me!
This system uses a waterfall aeration technique that allows for circulation of the nutrient solution. This is good for many reasons, but the best thing about it is that you don't have to stir the reservoir I think! LOL
It cost about $100 to make not counting what it costs for a drill and hole saws if you don't have them (I blew like $100 on a drill and hole saws, cheapest drill I could find too- hole saws are expensive as shit!)
Building it is easy- you just have to know what parts to get. I'll do a thread on how to build them later, but for now this thread is just for the design.
It holds a ridiculous amount of water so that when you use the Lucas Formula or Flora Nova you won't have to fuck with it but every great once in a while. You'll be moving the lights more than messing with the rez.
The tubs also put the plants at the perfect height so you don't have to bend over to trim and train them. This one uses three waterfalls for maximum oxygen distribution and two 396 gallon per hour water pumps to move the water. The roughly 32 gallons in the root zone is being cycled around 25 times per hour.
