Im still using botanicare grow, bloom , cal mag and LK but i also use aquashield, drip clean great white and no sweet. And my top ppm is 700. Much better results.

Stinkbuds system was a great start for me but it has some problems and limitations. You absolutely have to keep reservoir temps in check or risk root rot. The small tubes are problematic and you get puddles of water that cant drain fast enough. Not to mention if you run 3 systems 3 weeks apart you are changing reservoirs weekly (pain in the ass)

My system is way better. One chilled res, plenty of root space and perfect drainage. DWC is great but, AERO is the fastest hydro known to man!

Yep thats the pump. I use a solenoid in line after the pump hooked to the 1on 5 off timer. My sump pump is a flotech 1/4 hp 2880 gph from home depot. I rigged a float switch (bought seperately). It allows about 5 inches of water to collect before it starts pumping back to the main res. The strain is green crack. Its an ok strain , but im testing some newer better strains at the moment and hope to find one that will work well in the system. Good luck..let me know if you have anymore questions.

Thanks, the pump is is a shallow well pump 950 gph. I paid 150 bucks at harbor freight. Works like a charm! NO co2 right now but will be using it when i seal it up in summer.

hope that helps.
