Yea thats shit sounds NICE. I would reccomend if ur going to do bins than add a small submersible pump for water circualtion. To be also used for later water changes to be hooked up to a drainage tube that leads to a drain or faucet.I've decided to set up a small grow space in my basement. I'm going to pick up three 18 gal Rubbermaid plastic store bins and make my DWC. I've done this on a much smaller scale with success, but the volume of water with this project presents a new problem(s).
Should the bins be placed directly on the floor or should they be raised so they don't get so cold, or is cold good?
What is the best way to airate a 18 gal bin? I get the feeling that one 12" airstone is not going to do it.
Also, I plan on running 3 bins, what's the best way to do this? Must I have an air pump for each bin? Or do I need to have a pump for each airstone? Do they make pumps that will run 6 or more airstones?
Should I be using something other then pumps and airstones?
My vision is three 18 gal bins, two plants each. Where going for max yeild per plant as this will keep me legal. It would be great to be able to run all three bins with one pump.
Experienced DWC growers I need your help!!! What's the most effective and simplist way to airate my setup?
2 pumps per bin.Case one fails. 2- 8 inch air stones per pump should be sufficient.
78-82 degrees controlled res or room temp.
A small fan blowing directly on the tubs will get them cold. Or maybe U could put a timer on the fans so they dont get to cold.
Thats just a vision im having.
