DIY - 5 Litre DWC Pot - Simple!!!!!!!

BlueStar said:

So, I have been designing my DWC system, based on PipeDream's brilliant post in the FAQ section here.

Having made Mk1, I decided to make Mk2 last night, and it's even better. Because I couldn't see the pics from PipeDreams setup, I had to use the description he gave, and imagine my own system, which has been SUCH fun.

So now you can see the steps to making a 5 litre DWC pot, and let me tell you, if you have all the stuff you need, this is the ultimate in FUN FUN FUN. I could sit and make these all day.

Shopping list for a 2 pot DWC system (TM - PipeDream)

1x Air pump (Dual output min 90L/hr, quiet)
2x 1m standard airline
2x airstones (or actually, the smaller and cheaper, the better)
2x 8cm basket pots
2 x 5l Food-grade containers with tight lids
1x Roll of Aluminum Foil Tape
Hydroton Clay pebbles
1 x Piece of Diamond Mylar to cover the lids (you can use the aluminium foil tape if you don't want to buy this stuff)

Tools:

hand held drill with small drill bits
craft knife
Glue (I used a glue gun, you could normal super glue)

Instead of giving a long description (you can find that in the FAQ under DIY hydro systems - PipeDream), I will simply post the pics, and you can ask me questions, if anyone even reads this post!

All questions are welcome, I currently have Mk1 running with some capsicum seed in germination, so I know the system is tight!

Thanks guys,

Thanks for your comments. Just fired Mk2 up with a "herb" seed, fully ph'ed weak nutrient solution, under 50w CFL. I love the concept of the bubble bucket SOOO much.
