1.jpg I just put this 12 site setup together with two 50gal bins and a 50gal res. The res. is the blue bin in the back. It has a pump pumping water into the left white top bin and a pump in the right white top bin pumping back into the res. The pvc pipe at the bottom connects the two bins. I have 2 large air stones in each bin. I was going for a rdwc undercurrent setup. I'm wondering if this is too large or if I should make any adjustments/changes to the setup. Also, if anyone could recommend the BEST nutrients to use for MAXIMUM YIELD with this setup that would be great +REP! :neutral:

4.jpg2.jpg5.jpg Here are some more pics of the setup. Basically I'm wondering if I need that big of a reservoir or if I need one at all. I just realized it's gunna cost me a ton to treat 150 gallons with nutrients.

Hell yeah juice, nice ass setup. Your right about treating that many gallons lol
I would turn that extra res into a whole new grow box. With the rez's being so big PH should be a breeze to control.
Or keep it the same, either way you'll have a bad ass grow op.
Just make sure you have enough bubbles!
What kinda lights are you gonna be runnin with these? You could make a super scrog.
Will be around to watch what happens :D

Yeah the bubbles won't be an issue I'm getting another air pump and more stones next week but I'm still trying to decide what lights to use. I've seen some sweet fluorescent grows but I think I might need a little more for this size setup so probably a 400 Mh. And yeah I'm thinking I might take that extra res and make another grow unit out of it because I want to have 2 identical hydro setups side by side one for veg and one for bloom separated by a wall.

That's wassup.
You could make the extra one a clone unit.
Then you would have all the elements for a perpetual grow :hump:
400MH sounds great, by the time you get ready to flower you could get a good HPS.

I already have a 600w Hps that I've been using for my soil grows....2.jpg but I'm done with soil and moving on lol. As far as clones go I'm going to make a much smaller unit that I can put in the closet with a 100w fluorescent. My soil grow with the Hps is in the same room as the new hydro setup so I'm gunna have to make a light tight dividing wall. Maybe cardboard and duct tape for now haha but I'll get it to work. But yeah man a nasty full hydro perpetual is what I'm going for.
