Hello everyone ... hydro question :)

[tomislaw.nijaki]

HI

I'm new here ...

After couple of years of grow, and only reading and checking some informations I want to introduce myself ...

Hello ... I'm new here, but I know grow a little bit ...
Always growing in soil...so I register here to talk about hydro and maybe find someone to talk about my current grow, and plans to improve it ...

I have veg room with 2 lamps ...watering plants is annoying so I started to interest about hydro ... I bought osmosis and air pump and at the start try to clone some plants in another tent ... I made from air pump and small container DWC for cloning ... at this moment clones have 5 days and I dont have any problems with them ...

I want to talk about hydro that I should choose for this clones ...
I was thinking to make other systems for each lamp ... for example on first lamp DWC (Simple bucket with airstone and air pump 200l/h), I have heard that is the most efficient and simplest system ...
and for second m2 and lamp I was thinking about amazon aeroponic - Its the cheapest lets say "Aeroponic" system that I'm able to check ... but if someone will advice me about DIY hydro/aero for second system I will be thankful ... best way to customize it

I'm quite handy but I need a write The list of purchases becouse I dont know wich pump will be good for this kind of thniks

What do you think about it ?? ?? ??

I know what you should try and it is three gallon smart pots full of B'cuzz coco and blumats with a self topping res, it is the easiest growing method I have tried and works very well. It is also relatively cheap to setup. I did straight hydro for a while but it ended up being a lot of work and hassle as well having to worry about flooding. Check out the blumat thread below.

For BLUMAT thank you but no ... i never worked on pump with PSI ... Amazon Aeroponics have pump Maxi Jet 1000 Water Pump ... Its small pump ... maybe better way will be make DIY with 4 x 360 sprayers and pump somethink about 2000L ... I need quiet pump...I never even heard how will work pump with PSI over 50-60 in home made hydro so I cant take the risk to buy somethink that will be to noisy to work on it ... and like I wrote there will be DWC (Buckets) under one lamp ... I'm looking for advice about second system ... Please help me choose the best way

Ive seen folk use tote boxes with tubing inside for the sprayers.

There are some good tutorials here.
You can get smaller maxi jet pumps also.
This may be of help.

They are quite quiet.
Check out the manifolds and tube beneath.
Hope this helps.

This pump in my opinion is too small for system that will take 1m2 and will need to take care 12-16 plants in aero ... I'm not sure becouse i was playing in soil to this moment, but ... But a pump with 100 or above PSI is much more louder than this pump i think ... I'm not sure how many watts is using High pressure pump becouse i cant find information about it ... anyone can help ??
