Drip Setup Help Needed-help me design it.

turbo+awd · Oct 30, 2009

I'm in the process of designing a drip setup. I want to make 10 plant setups to start with.

5 gallon buckets-1 per plant

2inch? net pots with hydroton

I need to know what's the most efficient way to plumb these buckets together.

I want a Drip / Waste Setup, probably not the correct terminology but you get the point. I want to drain the buckets once a day into a reservoir but I'm not sure how to accomplish this in a affordable/efficient way.

I have not seen enough documentation on doing this and that's why I'm seeking help.

Thanks to the people that have chimed in to my grow room questions.

Get the net pods that replace the 5 gallon bucket lid, I used 3" net pods for a grow and ended up cutting most of the net pod off because the roots were waaayy to thick and the net pod was cutting into them.

Here is a cpl of bucket setups I built with a drip system. Raised off the floor w/ a gravity return system. The buckets are 3.5 gallons and I drilled the tops to recieve 4 in netpots with hydroton clay pellets. I had at one time 60 buckets in an upstairs bedroom but have now reduced it to 15 buckets that I use for mother plants since I built a downstairs flower room in my garage.
