Ive read a few posts on here where they give you the build details. But was wondering if they was anyone local. With some info as we dont have a home depot. Lol.
Thanks for the ideai built one many years ago, but didn't like it. i converted it to a shallow water culture with constant flowing water with much better results and a lot simpler...
i would let the water fall from the growing tray into the reservoir to oxygenate it rather than using airstones which tend to affect ph quite dramatically...
like this without the airstone/pump...just make the nutrient return higher so more water sits in the tray

good luck...
What do the air stones do to the p.H?
Old thread,but let me reignite it..wouldnt a waterfarm be a recirculating dwc? I built some years ago and they worked a treat. Which system did you run in the end?
To stabilize the ph i found "mineral magic" powder to sort out most of the troubles. It might be hard to get,bit definitly worth the effort. I think i threw one tbsp per waterfarm a week and the ph never gave me a headache again. It settles a bit, so when you change water keep that in mind and clean ot out
My pumps were running 24/7 and since adding a spoon of mineral magic per waterfarm never had a probpem again. I changed the water every week and always added that one spoon .
What part of the world are you in. Do uyou have a pic or link for the magic
