Look into Dutch Bucket hydro. No air pump needed, no chiller, you can either hand water DTW, or recycle using a small reservoir and fountain pump on a timer.

sounds too goo to be true. how do you keep your bad bacteria out?

simple dtw yes but but recirculating drain to waste seems like a nightmare.

Its really very easy to set up:

Kitty litter bucket filled with perlite, and two PVC elbows for the drain. Drench the perlite and wait for it to stop draining. Then just place a small container (I use the bottom of a laundry detergent container) that holds a quart of so of nute solution and place your pump in it. Put it on a timer so it runs for a just a few minutes several times a day. I just top off the container daily.

It ain't pretty but it works. I have not had any root problems with this setup (knock on wood) for about a year and a half.

My next one is going into an 18 gallon tote. Gonna see if I can get a really big plant this time.

I'm guessing that its the use of regular tap water with chloramine in it that keeps it sterile.

hmm interesting

So in your second pic, do you grow them out in those saucer-on-saucers? If so, any media under the top saucer?

a chiller is required. runs a minimum of 270 bucks for a 1/10 hp one works for 4 buckets and a res. 67 degrees and I add hydroguard bacillus to colonize the rhizo so other bad bacteria dont grow.

That chiller will chill a good 50-75 gallons to 68 in a 72-78* environment no problem.

Definitely. Especially once those bitches start flowering out big time. Transpiration doubles.

What ratio do you add the micro? I’m about to switch to jacks 321 but my boosters were going to be monoammonium Phosphate, Monopotassium Phosphate, potassium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, & DB sugar.

You don’t use Fulvic of humic?

Nope humics will fuck you in hydro dont use them. The most is actually not needed. The regular hydro blend has enough of it.
