IMgreen's first hydro grow! WW/WR in a river/waterfall/bio-bucket system
I got some hydro building going on!
In anticipation of my forthcoming beans I am building a couple river/waterfall/bio-bucket systems!
So far I have leak tested one "practice" unit (none, even with a cracked grow chamber!) and I got some lavarock cleaned and sitting in the system in 8" buckets...
that stuff is a BITCH to clean!!
the bottom bin in this pic is really gonna be a grow chamber, not a res, but I did not want to drill the holes in the expensive one until I tried it in a cheaper one (the sterilite container on top) and
this bin is rated at carrying 400lbs so I am not worried about a collapse...
its got a 400 gph with a 1/2" line (empties out the res in less than 5 minutes and the "real" res will be a lot smaller) and the root zone has a 1" line to dump through
