  3. Yes ,
    I haven't gotten to set up plants yet due to adding a portable AC unit to my grow room , I'm running 6 autos in soil in a 96 x 48 x80 at the moment in there and the ac unit took all my space for my bucket system .
    I've ran all my leak test with great success.
    I'm almost about to set up the bucket system in the garage and test temps and such . [​IMG]

  4. I bought 2 120gph just incase but one on low pressure switch keeps the two buckets equalized perfect .
    The pump has a twist switch if I turn it all the way up the first bucket in the rotation fills higher than the second so on low works great .

  6. Yes, slightly, and they are a little different shape on the lower part. They are the rhizocore 6in net pots from HTG supply.

  7. Low pressure sink spray nozzle might help. As long as your not using a pressure washer I think you will be ok.

  8. In good news - when I left this morning ph was 6.8.

    When I got home tonight almost 12 hours, ph was still 6.8 which is awesome news!

    I bought some new proper ph down and it's sitting at 6.0 now so I will leave it overnight and see how it is tomorrow :)

  9. I think I'm going to go the mesh screen female fitting route to protect the plumbing. However, that still leaves the potential issue with the roots picking up the air stone as they grow. If I was to silicone the bottom of the air stone to the bucket would I be ok?

  11. Yea man I am running into the same problem as well. Temps are 75°. I haven't installed my inline fan yet though. Will be on my doorstep Friday. That will take a lot of heat and humidity out of the tent. I will put the exhaust out the window.
     
  12. How you doing over here dude? @Han-Bolo

  13. Doing great I'm on vacation so everything's on a momentary pause ! As soon as I get back I'll be starting it up. Trying to get my hands on a local land race to use as the other 3 plants to grow. Still just have the 3 dark devil seeds.

    Those blue Lowes bucket are see through.
    Hold one up to the light and you can see light shining through.
    Get some of that aluminum metal tape and cover em'.

  18. I'm thinking about using some extra mylar I have laying around. Should help keep the temps down inside the bucket too.
