DIY Undercurrent system

[TND]

Hey everyone so after seeing and reading so many posts i decided to put one of my own DIY up and see what everyone thinks about it. the system is very easy to build and not that expensive the most expensive part was the Danner 700 ghp pump 98 bucks:
buckets was 8 bucks each
pvc pipe 20 bucks
uniseals ordered online 68 dollars ordered a few extra just in case i may want to expand on system

i have 2 master kush clones in and a power kush from seed and violator kush from seed

im going to get some new micro pore air diffusers tomorrow to help get the system dialed in

let me know what you think any tips and questions

here are a few more pics of how i have the room set up with the system. i have a icebox cooling my 600hps vertical and the inline danner pumps the rez thru the water reservoir for the icebox cooling the plants rez at the same time got the room dialed in at 77 degrees right now and my rez temps are at 71 degrees

anything i'm doing wrong? any input appreciated thx

Hello, I like the set up. How big is the room you are using and how many sites is your system? How many gallons are the buckets? Do you have a pond diffuser in the epicenter or is there an airstone in there? I just started using the UC system a few months ago and I love it. I'll be watching your grow with interest.

Peace,

After they get to be about 36" or so I think you might benifit from a 1Kw for final veg and flower.

I need to figure out the vert one of these days. I am sure you will nail the shit out of any Gram per watt calculation, I was thinking about having the bulb raise and lower from ceiling to the base of the plant, up and down all day long.

Think of a few of them looking like a merry go round going up and down in the room!

Peace,

Think light mover rail set-up vertically then attach rope/cord to the light mover run it through a pulley or eyelet and attach the rope/cord to the socket assembly. damn I just invented something maybe.
