I'm using 9inch red frog diffuser rings. It doesn't get any better than these puppies. I was initially using 4 ft flexible diffuser tubes in each bucket but it became a pain to manage and anchor down once the air pump is turned on. The diffuser rings are weighted down with fender washers and...

Cant be its a brand new pump. It does get hot but my fan draws the air to the outtake fan over the HID light.

No it started happening when I added superthrive to the weekly nute feed.

No. the soap suds must be the superthrive I added to the weekly feed. I didn't lubricate the airpump either.

I think its the nutrient solution. I use RO water.

Does anyone know why the roots are yellow rather than white?

Has anyone come across yellow roots in rdwc? Whats causing this? How to turn them white?

I'm using a 38LperMin Dual Diaphragm Air Pump and am getting insane bubblage. See screenshots below of each bucket and the air pump suspended in the middle at the bottom. Question: is it normal for the braided air hose to turn brown/discolor after the first few days of use? Why does it do this?

Okay, I figured it out, the Y filter was clogged with nutrient and clay sediment. I had to clean the filter about 4 times this afternoon and now its working fine. Thank god for simplicity. Here's the 2 bucket setup with outtake in rear returns to a ball valve and then a Y filter and then a...

Thanks for all the advice fellas. I'm back in rdwc growing mode. Hey have any of you ran into extra air bubbles without a visible leak in water pump return and delivery manifolds? My 250 gph pump was struggling at first and.not pumping water and air bubbles started filling tops of the...

Well, it appears there are large cracks in the buckets im using so I had to scrap these cracked buckets and get new ones and going step by step courtesy of youtube:weed: and then add the sealant to both sides of the buckets and each seal. That should do it to avoid leaks in the new system.:bigjoint:

The ones I got were from Allied Aqua. http://alliedaqua.com/uniseal-1-inch.html These aren't the same uniseals? I thought there was only one kind of uniseal out on the market.

Thanks, I bought some 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure 5200 so I hope this does the trick, a fellow in another forum used 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure 4000UV and it worked great for him. Hopefully, it works. I ended up getting the 3 ounce tube in case the other seal had problems...

Awaiting any answers to my uniseal leak dilemma from helpful knowledge out there!

How would you suggest to fix it the right way? This is my first setup and I had initially checked the seals by filling each bucket with 3 gallons of water and no leaks showed then. I also ran the system for a little bit and then checked them again a few days later for new leaks and nothing...

Hi, theres a leak at one of the uniseals in my 2 bucket setup. Can I get away with using PVC cement on both sides of seal? If so, how long do I need to let it dry for? I just pulled my new clones out of the buckets and drained (most of) the nutes into stand lone buckets and placed the clones...

Has anyone using hydrotons as grow mediums ever layered the bottom of their netpots with lava rock? I was thinking of expanding my 10" net pot into a 3 gallon bucket drilled at the bottom with holes to create a larger netpot lining the bottom with lava rock so that the roots would develop more...

Sweet thanks!:bigjoint:
