View attachment 3992328 View attachment 3992327 My first go at making an rwc just need to add cooler and a big supply tank to feed the header tank, but just made it to get an understanding of how they work, added due to watch the water circulate to what do you think for a first go haha? Bit botched up but a few alterations and I think I'm there can't put it into practice for around 10 weeks yet need my soil grow to finish
Sorry to say this but you cant use clear tubs in dwc as this will cause algae to grow, you need black containers that let no light in.
looks like you have to basics nailed down impressive.
I bought my system as i didn't have time to make my own.
Things i would recommend to you are black containers and bigger pipes ( i have small pipes and they can get blocked with roots if not careful).
Are you sucking the water from the containers or pumping in to them and just allowing water to flow back on its own? most people put there re circulation pump so it draws the water from the plant pots back to the res, this is how mine works.
I have 2 rows of 3 pots with each pot connected together at one end of each row is connected the the control bucket and the other end of each row joins together to one return pipe, this return pipe has the pump drawing water back to the control bucket.
Did a root check on my girls last night and my blueberry cheese cake has already filled the full pot with roots. its a beast of a plant and looking forward to harvest lol
