i bought mine already set up..... ill try and explain tho....
the big tank is the reservoir and from this, we have a small plastic filter which runs down into the head tank (the tank with the blue pump on it). So a pipe runs from the reservoir to the head tank through a hole drilled in the top of it to which the float mechanism is attached.... Once the height of the float has been set, this regulates the level of the water througout all of the four plant holding pots as they are all connected by hose at the bottom using T connectors and rubber seals.... hope that helps :P |

There is an easier way than manageing your water leval. Instead of using a lid, cut a large piece of styrofoam to float and then cut a hole in the middle to hang your net pot in.
Here is a diagram: http://greenmanspage.com/guides/hydrosystems.html Its the second one down : "WATER CULTURE SYSTEM" |

ppm question.
Can you please give some more gory details about measuring out the nutrients... I read earlier you mentioned a syringe and some kind of measuring device that also does ph? Do garden stores sell syringes? or where?
Since you mentioned that it doesnt really matter what company you get the nutrients from... I saw Gro formula and Bloom formulas... but I put it back on the shelve.. and almost hung up this whole project all together.. because of one simple fact: I suck at math. I dont know any of this 4 quarts to a gallon or whatever.. so I fear burning the plants, drowning the plants, starving the plants, because I dont understand this "Parts Per MILLION" language. Can you please give us some more details on this extremely important section. Thanks in advance, and great thread so far! |

Both your explanation of the bubble bucket setup, and the link that tylonalsnifnfoo provided were great. I can see why hydroponics works finally
![]() 1 question though. How much water do plants use in a day? I hear people saying they change their nutes every 7-10 days and I'm wondering how much of it is being dumped. |
