So its been a long time since ive done a full hydro grow have been stuck on soil for a long time. but Im in a better position to put the extra time into a full on hydro system.
So im looking at setting up a 8 pot uc system under 4x 600w lights using magnum xxxl aircooled hoods in a 2.4mx2.4m tent.
Im gonna build the system myself but dam its taken some time to locate the bits i think im gonna need. now im 100% gonna be getting a hailea 250a chiller & 3000ltr p/h water pump and a air pump ,buckets 25ltr, net pots clay pebbles.
the pipe work for the under current im thinking 50mm i would like to go to 75mm but dam the pipe fitting etc start getting expensive.
Is 50mm enough?
now i have 2 options in terms of the pipe fittings do you think i can use the solvent to seal the pipes or will the pushfit be ok under the pressure? i feel safer with the solvent but im worried it may poison the plants?
so the pump is going push the water from the system which will create the under current through the chiller then return the chilled water into the side of the buckets (just below the lid)which will have a 13mm elbow to to direct the water straight down create more dissolved oxygen. air stone in each bucket
will adding the top feed mess things up do you think??
now i want to keep things as simple as possible and im thinking of going along with canna aqua and cannas full range any opinions?
i have always been a strong believer less is more when it comes to your nutrients if environment is perfect they will pretty much look after them selves.
the strain i have is crimera blue from barneys i have jut done one plant in soil with my blue cheese grow and its a defo keeper. on week 7 and im sure its ready to come down buds are a great size and as hard as wood leaves 95% yellow.
so any input guys & gals that would be great
