Neat - your net pot has a little raised platform - though I just used hydroton and then set the rapid rooter on top of the hydroton them backfilled hydroton around the rooter. That was the right way to go about it - correct?

You should start a thread showing the progress of both systems

Covers installed.. Ready for some real super growth here soon..

1 has the attachment to keep it level and a larger tank that sits on top that feeds the bottom

Oh control bucket.. Take a picture of it...

Hahahahaha...
the cover is sitting under it. Im looking at putting a 30 amp breaker in there, to run my lights off off.. I want them separated..
And honestly if I was able to attend that, I would!
I could def learn some more about electrical, and Im the first person to stfu and listen when there is something good to be learned..
I'm a seeker of knowledge.. I love History, but there is a lot of History!!!

Yep, I know exactly what you mean

Oh ya buddy, we can do great things together...
Here was my first system..
Except I had the recirculation kit with mine so it looked like this..
225 on ebay right now..

I changed it so it would fit in a 5x5 which would be perfect under a DE gavita...

I dont use that top bucket anymore. I use that tote behind it as the top one and I sit it outside the tent on top a dresser. So it gravity feeds the bottom one when the float valve opens.. Works awesome..

Yea your right it is the general hydroponics water farm system

Exactly what it looks like but I have 3 of 4 flower buckets

3/19/18 Update




#1 still not “feeding” ... still at 370ppm, ph up to 6.2 ... rusty spots continuing to spread






#2 DEFINITELY feeding! ... ppm at 300 and ph at 6.3 ... some additional rust spots on the leaves below those big fan leaves, but not as bad as on #1. And I’d swear she got taller overnight

Are you still doing the daily solo cup thru the hydroton? Are the roots growing?
refill water to waterline and tell me what ph is?
on number 2
Refill to water line, then take ppm measurement. Then add grow till you are at 450 ppm, and then tell me what the ph is before you add any.
Because we are now getting where we can maybe start to stabilize number 2. If after adding nutes the ph lands anywhere from 5.6 to 6.1 dont add any ph up or down...

I got quite a bit of work to do so i try to check back in a hr or so...

And 2 is looking good. We are doing a good job now with it...
