So I've been playing around with the idea of starting an undercurrent system...two, to be precise. Eventually I would like to have two 8 pot undercurrent systems running next to each other, but for now I'm trying to set up a shopping list for two 6 pot systems...Just trying to put a list together to make sure I have my head straight, since I smoke weed like it's my religion and am rarely sober. Not that I cant function, I'm just forgetful, hence the list.
The List
14 Reservoirs, preferably 8 gallons-ish, with lids
28 2" Uniseals...Contacted a guy on craigslist about buying 28 brand new 2" uniseals, offered 45 bucks, we'll see what he comes back with.
Schedule40 PVC, 2", probably aroud 30 feet or so
8 2" PVC elbow fittings
2 2" x 1" "T" fittings
2 1" "T" fittings
2 1" ball valves
15-20 feet of 1" or 3/4" tubing
2 Return pumps, around 600GPH each
2 Float valves
1 55 gallon freshwater reservoir, or directly connected RO/DI Unit or Tallboy filter
Airline Tubing
14 Airstones
1 Badass Industrial air pump, or 2 regular industrial aip pumps
12 Five or Six inch netpots
50L Hydroton
Possibly a chiller down the line, depending on room temps.
I dunno, am I missing anything here? I'm gonna be collecting these bits and pieces over the course of weeks, if not months. I'm just tired of lugging around 9 five gallon buckets a week to do water changes in my DWC grow...I'm sure a simple RDWC would be easier and cheaper, but I feel more comfortable with Undercurrent.
Thanks for reading guys!
