Hey I just needed some help, am planing in the future to setup my 2x 5 gallon DWC buckets in to a RDWC system. Lock in my country(not US) we only have pool shop that sell overpriced PVC parts. My question is for the outline in the bottom of the buckets can they be the same as the...

Is it a good idea not to use a pump for recirculation ? I mean it's only 3 buckets with each their air stone so there is already a lot of water movement. All I want in fact is having to adjust ph/ppm only once, not 3 times ! And I do not want any pump to add heat and problems. I want to...

What's up everybody. Wanted to share the RDWC system I'm just finishing building. I'm using 2" PVC to connect 8x 5gal buckets. I used the X style, rather than under-current style. Basically, this is just because this configuration uses the least amount of Uniseal's, which end up being the...

hey guys, building and ebb and flow multi site system and was looking at buying a Brain Bucket Controller with float switches and such. but they are like $250 and I think I can make a much simpler design. I came up with little idea and drew it out for a visual. the idea is that, - Nutrient...

I grow in DWC systems and one of them is using 5 gallon buckets to Veg my plants and then transfer them to a Current Culture DWC system to flower. I have a water chiller on my flowering system but I don't have any H2O cooling for my 5 gallon buckets. I have wrapped my buckets in insulation and I...

Hello all. I recently bought a full grow package from someone. It was 5 4x4, 5 1000 watt hps with switchable ballast, buckets, air stones and tubing to set it all up, and reverse osmosis setup. I have a few questions. What would get more yield, 2 plants with scrog, or 5 or 6 plants. I watched...

So I'm adding a chiller to a two 5 gallon bucket system. I'm going to add a chiller. I'm thinking I can get a third 5gallon bucket as the resivoir, and two submergeable water pumps. One to circulate water between the res and the chiller, second to circulate water between res and other two 5 gal...

Does anybody know if an 8 Gallon Counter Culture lid fits an EZ Store (Ropak) bucket? The CC buckets look identical from pictures I see online, maybe even from same manufacturer. I have the EZ buckets and need lids, but the cch2o lids are pre-cut and are way sturdier. Anybody doing this?

Hi Everyone, I'm about to start a small grow with CK Feminized White Widow and Green Crack using 5gal bubble buckets with GH farmkit drip rings added and air stones in the buckets. I will do 2 tents with 2 buckets per tent, 1 tent per strain. I'm going to use 1 Mars Reflector 192 LED light per...

I have picked up 4x black 5g buckets with 6 inch net lids now its time to pick out the aeration , without any DWC experience I can only guess am hoping someone with experience with either of these two air pumps could offer me some advice on them. My worry is that the stronger 40w pump will...

After 3 or 4 grows in soil without amazing results, I finally coughed up some $ to try some DWC. My grow space is a small 4x2 shower, walls are lines with emergency blankets and the rest is pretty straight forwards. I currently have 4 plants growing in soil that are about 2 weeks old. Im not...

Hello, I have a 3x3 grow tent and my next purchase would be ebb and flow buckets, particularly the 6-Site Bubble Flow Buckets Hydroponic Grow System. If you have other suggestion please tell me. My question is, will this be a noisy set up? I will be growing in a condominium flat. I don't want...

Yo growers! My tent is 2x2x4.5ft. My objective is to maximize the yield and decrease time between harvests. I thought to make a sog grow in a rdwc system. I will flower clones inside the tent with 0 to 1 week vegetative. Clones will be taken from a mother and put in a cloner machine. I...

Hello growers! After a single bucket dwc grow and a coco/perlite grow i decide to step up and try a sog grow (clones) in a RDWC system. Let me start saying that here where I live it is hard to find the right equipment. My grow space is 2x2ft (4.6ft height) and I want to fit 9 buckets inside...

To start off, this isn't the beginning of the grow. It's more beginning of flower. Tonight I'm switching the plants to 12/12 and giving flower nutrients. I use general hydro 3 part series along with Botanicare Calmag and Sweet. I also use Cannazyme. I started the plants in 3.5 gallon water...
