quick question.. could u go over how you make them recirculate with the mag drive pump..

I personally recirc with a pond pump on a timer in the controller pumping water for about 15minutes every hour to the top rez.. the backflow from the other buckets.. coming back into the controller so frequently with the water mixing down from the top seems to keep everything in check..ph and ppm wise.

Thanks for stopping by everyone, and thanks for all the compliments.

sog army - The way I recirculate the waterfarms requires a few modifications. First you need to drill a hole in each of the waterfarm buckets just below where the bucket holding the pebbles rests.


Next you will need to increase the return line size from 1/2" to 3/4".

Those are the major modifications you will need to make.


It works by pumping water out of the res



through the chiller



to a tee in the line with an inline flow controller going back to the res. This allows you to adjust the amount of water going to all the buckets.



then the line tees between the waterfarms



Each bucket has its own flow controller so you can equalize the amount of water in the buckets.



The water then returns to the res through the 3/4" lines



Hope this answers your question and if you have anymore feel free to ask. :D

An Update

An Update

Well, last night wasn't that great of a night.

I had to throw away one of my girls. She was battling thrips and they took her over last night. I have never had thrips before and the only thing I can deduce is that they came from the rockwool I germed them in.

Thrips are evil little creatures.



I think I will try and replace her with an Dutch Passion Isis seedling.

All of the others seem to be doing well.

Looks clean, what nutes are you using? For future reference, a queen sizes waterbed liner would exactly fit the floor of your tent, and buy you some time in the eventual leaking moment. If something can leak, it eventually will. Happy buds, may the force - the light side - be with you.

I am using Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow and Liquid Karma for right now.

I am not worried about the carpet fading, but a leak is something that would definitely cause a problem. A waterbed liner sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the tip. :smile:

Update time.

The plants are doing pretty well, although a couple of them have some brownish yellow spots on thier leaves.

Here are some pictures of the healthy ones...





The current conditions are

RH 45%
Nute 200 ppm (160 ppm of Liquid Karma and 40 ppm of AN Sensi Grow)
Room Temp 79
CO2 800 ppm
Water Temp 66
pH 5.9

Light is 3ft away on a light mover

I don't really know what is going on with the plants. Here are some pics if you can make out the spots at the end of the leaves.




Notice the cotyledon(don't know how to spell) leaf has yellowed.

I noticed that the water smells kind of like a pond, even though I changed the water and added some Hydroguard yesterday. I also noticed there was some mold growing on the pebbles beneath the surface.



If anyone has any idea what is going on, your response would be greatly appreciated.

The update everyone has been waiting for.... just kidding. :D

Well here it is for anyone who is interested.

First lets get the numbers out of the way

Room Temperature 80
Water Temperature 65
Nute Strength 320 ppm
CO2 Level 950 ppm
RH 50 %


Now for the plants... So far I have what seems to be 2 different phenotypes. One that looks to be a sativa dominant pheno and one that seems to have a bit of indica.

This is the sativa dominant pheno




Here are the plants that are partially indica





And here is a pic of the whole growroom.
