Under Current Recirculating Deep Water Culture Hydroponic System

[baseballDUDE32]

Your ideas helped me build my grow room.

Thanks for your video. I've posted my video

If you get a chance check it out.

( 10 x10 Grow Room) Peace.

[Mr2Grimm]

hows that hydro grow light working out? thinking about getting 2 84x pros soon, but cant decide

[JBarth22]

PS- you should be using sterile plastic gloves if you want to wear gloves and NOT dirt bike gloves or ski gloves or work gloves as they are nastier and carry MORE bacteria than your bare un washed hand would be...YUCK!

[JBarth22]

This must be a older unit as they do not make them with white buckets now for obvious reasons....you should insulate your buckets and make them light proof or you are gonna grow some serious algae and other unwanted growth.

Yikes! They also do not recomend you use Algen Extract in this systems...man I bet that was a pain in the ass to clean the system and remove all the organic slime from inside the PVC pipes....

Whats with the glove and the whacky music?

love,le set up good job ..

what size water pump and air pump are you using, im about to be using the same setup except ill be having 5 setups of your same make...

[Luciferoshua]

what would the nutrient mixing ratio be in reference to the entire DWC setup? ie, would i mix my nutes based on the size of the resevoir? or the capacity of water contained within the whole DWC buckets sum?

[dcantanable]

How do you clean the system when you have plants growing?

[dmomo20]

I'm having trouble finding buckets, especially colored ones in that shape.. Can you tell me where you got yours??

[dmomo20]

Clean setup...Is that Pharcyde i hear?



[jbricks89]

I love house and garden, I pulled 12lbs off my 4 plants doing dwc

[opt1c420]

@MrGlassAddict that one actually was running at 120v.... it can do either... just got to have a good electrician who knows what they're doing... i think the cost of running the line was a 6pack and change ;)

[Luciferoshua]

is that possible with a PVC pipe setup? like two rows on each side of a room. (1foot dia, 20, feet long x 4)

[opt1c420]

@Luciferoshua check out the guys at current culture; they do all sorts of custom setups

[gouldsgoon]

what were the pm of the back buckets vs the reservoir

[1926times]

is that a reverse osmosis filter,,if it is your missing the most important part

[opt1c420]

@1926times yeah; my tap water is good and i just wanted the chlorine and sediment out of it

[ClankyRochet]

To be honest if you are not going to grow more than 10 plant, you might as well just use DWC bucket system because this is wasting too much space when you can grow a few more plant and make the best use of the light.

[itscorcor]

i think you should grow tomatoes

[Higgs666]

I'm surprised your inline fans can handle all those tents, especially with all those turns in the hose.

[opt1c420]

@Higgs666 when i added 2 vert 600 bulbs under the 2 hoods i had to add a portable ac as a window ac alone wouldn't cut it

[alexakapollo5]

I you speak spanish any you help

[520matthew]

Very crafty setup..just won't to know how big the air pump is in liters per hour..I think over 1000L is good

Also the water pump size in LPH

Thanks

[opt1c420]

@520matthew i had an ap20 on the epicenter and an ap40 on the 6 buckets; i'm sure you can find the rest of the info on the net

[dpina01]

when installing your sentinel HPH-4 did the indicator light turned on when plugged to your 30 amp plug or did you had to plug in a timer to activate the indicator light

[kaos968]

All right, I need to know the name of that Jazz tune that is playing at the start...?

[RootsGrowSupply]

did you ever grow in this undercurrent?

[opt1c420]

@RootsGrowSupply not this one in particular... found that with white buckets light would leak through from underneath and light proofing them was too much effort... used some blue buckets instead ;)

[BrickTweenty]

im sorry to ask:

Do u have bublers at the bottom of each container..?

[opt1c420]

@BrickTweenty one 6 inch airstone in each bucket; the cheap ones... when they are done growing the roots have eaten the stones so i just chop the lines and start with new ones

[hellboundkidd]

question. what do you do when the plants have rooted and you have to lower the water level? because the float is so high inside the control bucket, if you lower the water, more will pour in from above? so i was just wondering how you use the float when the water levels need to be around 4-5 inches instead of 2 inches into the pot. thanks!

[opt1c420]

@hellboundkidd i always run higher water levels; more water more roots... i figure these systems excel at water roots as opposed to air roots but i've seen success with both methods; i personally just run the water high

[lexx10079]

so any updates, anything with ur girls in it would be gud to c.

how big do they get and how long do u veg for?

[Damu266]

LED for the Loss

[opt1c420]

@Damu266 free ftw... couple led lights have already gone out... hydro-grow led is FTL for sure

[AlexSuperWeed]

what is this? 2.23

[opt1c420]

@AlexSuperWeed it's a water filter; just carbon and sediment filters not ro as my tap water is pretty good as is

[313MrDetroit313]

Do you have the r/o unit automatically topping off the control bucket? if you do that is so sick. This room is tight props bro

[opt1c420]

@313MrDetroit313 yup; going to be adding a reservoir between the ro unit and the buckets; so i'll be topping off with premixed nutes from now on

[313MrDetroit313]

@opt1c420 that sounds like it could be a headache though... wouldn't the ideal setup be just topping off with ph'd water and nuting from the control bucket? I am using standalone 5 gal buckets and I always top off through the week with just ph water they seem to like it better then full blown nutes 24/7 maybe its just my strain though... I am about to go buy an undercurrent and leave a couple buckets empty so they can just act as buffer buckets instead of plant sites.

[aenima1]

Did you build the system yourself? I only ask because I know the CC sells them in blue, no need to wrap in black plastic! I found the same supplier that has white, does it let light in? I plan on building my own shortly.

[opt1c420]

@aenima1 yeah the white buckets let light in; especially through the bottom of the buckets as they have grooves and don't sit flat. this was a prototype unit from cc i didn't build it myself; just assembled it

[rolandsonofstephen]

check out thcfarmer you have a lot in common with a few guys there

[ColeFried81]

Holy shit you got a lot of money rammed in to that setup.

[wertysw]

at 2:05 is that your water cooler? i have a somewhat similar system which recently failed because of too hot of water.

[opt1c420]

@wertysw yup; 1/4hp which is overkill for a 6 site setup but allows room for expansion in the future. You can get away with a 1/10hp chiller no problem. I know people who run water cultures without them and rely on ambient air temp being pumped in via the airstones to keep temps in check but i don't like things i can't control.

[wsvitak]

Dont know exactly what it's for but that looks like a damn good setup. Looks complex as hell whatever it is thats shit looks technical. Looks like some mad scientists water purifier

[illbefuct]

Now thats a top setup mate ! you've thought of everything... THUMBS UP !

[joebud2007]

nice set up bro could of been more organized dont u think??? well at least u dont have open wires next to flowing water ohh wait

[opt1c420]

@joebud2007 you forgot the propane tank and open flame on the co2 burner.... been raging over 2 years in the same spot and haven't burned the place down yet. If you don't have the balls and brains to play with water, fire, and electricity i and i suggest staying in the dirt.

[JRastafari007]

@joebud2007

sucks you didn't make it past 5th grade, moron. read more books, dipshit. if you know anything about indoor cultivation, you would see that bro's op is tight.

[MrMetalLife]

this is one of the more intricat and maticulous designs that i have seen

[archuletajustin]

u @ thcfarmer???

[ARTnSKIN]

Dam bro very nice setup been looking at that setup and really like how it works, one of the best !!

Now i can watch it being used, perfect thank you for posting up your grow, lets get some little girls in there now.

[cesarcruzjr]

nice!!

[mholinski]

love the set up

[moshdot]

simply awesome

[slowmopoke]

very nice thx!
