General Hydroponics Water Farm

GH Water Farm

I've used the search function and come up with nothing on this product. Does anyone here have any experience with it?

I'm still in the planning stages of my future set-up and have looked at a few things. I'd like to grow 4 or 5 plants inside a DR120 grow tent. I considered getting the SH Bubbleponics kit (still might get it), but it seems a few people have complained about its small reservoir. What's the point in having a grow tent 6' tall if my hydro set-up can't support that amount of growth? The Water Farm seems like it might be a better choice.

So if anyone has any experience with these, I'd be grateful to hear what you think of them.

Thanks.

Yeah, it does look pretty simple to build a similar product, but I don't mind spending the money to get a something that's already made and will work exactly as intended. I'm going to be living in a new city with no family or friends, I'll have no tools whatsoever, so I'm looking for something that is ready to go out of the box.

To me, it looks like one possible disadvantage of the Water Farm is that you have to manage the pH and nutes of multiple reservoirs.

When I used the forum's search function, nothing came up regarding the Water Farm or General Hydroponics. Now I see that there are several threads on the subject. Maybe the search doesn't like me?

Hey bro..Whatever u do im glad ur thinking about doing DWC..Remember there are other options as well..U can grow multiple plants in Tubs.or rubbermaid container's.. One res to worry about its that simple.. Size of tub will depend on number of plants.number of plants will depend on style of growth in tubs..
But ur going to save money doing things urself.. Just built a tub for 39 bux and currently flowering 11 plants in it..Started with 13 but recently plucked the 2 runts..Anything's possible tho..

Good luck

I don't like the idea of having multiple reservoirs to worry about. I guess I just want to have the best possible set-up for a newbie. I'm hesitant to make something myself as I have no experience to rely on. I still have a lot of time before I can start my op, so I'm going to do all the research I can. Like I said earlier, I don't mind paying a bit of money for start up costs knowing that at some point down the road it's going to pay for itself. At the same time, I don't want to throw money away either. I'm definitely going to keep scouring these forums until I find something I like.

Thanks for your input.

Flagg - Don't forget the bucket (reservoir) sets up way over a foot and the lights have to be above the plants far enough so you dont burn them. You really dont have anywhere near 6" of actual growing room for your plants. It's more like 3-4'

I think I've nearly abandoned the idea of going with the Water Farm. The DIY DWCs look easy enough. I'll be sure to start a grow journal once I get things going. It won't be for a while though as I'm living in South Korea right now and need to wait until move back to Canada in the summer.

Thanks for your input, Hairy.
