DIY Recirculating DWC PVC Tube

[miwa]

Thank you.
Thank you for checking out my grow test.
To be quite honest I felt uncomfortable running so many plants so if I do upgrade and run the system again I will be reducing the number of plants by half.
This grow test is over but I will post a link if I run the machine again.
If you enjoyed this diy project you should check out my next diy test grow. Here's the link 1 Plant DIY Recirculating DWC Test

Fantastic DIY....Thank you.....now to your next test grow...Wow head is hurting with ideas...

any updates on this ingenues contraption? lol

 

[Mr Smith]

Next run should be in my darkstar journal sometime in january DarkStar Project - Advanced Growing

Any new modifications will be explained with the new grow. Thank you for checking out my vertical tube setup.

Clippings were just recenly taken so the next run in this machine should start in about a month. There will be a 2 week veg in a diy dwc machine before they go into the satelite vert tube. I'll send a link when that happens.

by the looks of the bubble gum it must have been a lot easier to trim than others? Can you tell me what seed breeder made the strain?
Thanks sir.

Quick question, I know this is an old post, but I'm thinking about doing a smaller version of this, if I used the original 4 plant design, but used 6 inch tubing instead of the 4 inch PVC you used, would I have enough room to veg 4 plants for 2 months and then flower them? Or would there be too much root mass in the pipes?

I know this is an old thread, but thankyou very much for this DIY. I just built a smaller 3 site 200gph setup that has 10in. Of waterfall into a 5 gallon bucket. Hopefully it performs as well as yours did!!

Please show me more.
How did it work out?
Its been a long time since the post.
Just found it. would like to try something like this.

I've only seen the first page of this thread and I'm definitely subbed! Wow! That looks like a genius system you have there. I'm in the process of designing my own RDWC, something small, 3-4 plant type thing so i'm sure i'll learn something here!

Sean's Dual Satellite nft/swc (shallow) system
thanks for the idea's guy's

3" slope for every channel (14'ft)
82 plant site per system
2 adjacent system running off a shared 30 gal res
1 1000w vertical hps per system (2 1000w lights)
each system will have there own 396gph sub pump in the res
each layer will have its own input controlled by ball valve and drain
16 4" pvc test caps will be used at the beginning and end of each pvc run
1/2" holes on the top intake side for 1/2 irrigation hose (controlled by ballvalve)
1" bulkhead fitting will be drilled and fitted at the bottom of the test cap of the 8 drain ends
drain to the res can be either 2"pvc (for velocity) or 1"irrigation hose with tee connectors
the water input will be pumped straight up to the top using by the drain pipes using 1/2" hose then
90 degree over the the input side (to avoid blocking my way in) the pumped into a 1to4 1/2" manifold
2" net cups will be used with Neoprene Inserts
clone to rockwool 1 strain at a time for entire system
take 200 clones.. take the best dominate 164 of the 200 and toss the rest
