I've posted a few grows on here before, small stuff that didn't get the most love, but i'm sure you guys will enjoy this one. This is a home made idea that is a hybrid of a few different pre-fab systems you can buy, but i wasn't trying to drop $1000 for a hydro system. pretty simple idea feed the buckets manifold at the bottom of the buckets 4x PVC risers. only one hole poked in each one for the veg side, the flower has 3 in each. The bottom of the buckets have a hole in them for the water to drain out, there is a gutter sitting right beneath them that brings that all back to the rez~

for now i am monoculturing a BUbbA kush from WA state. good strain, heavy yielder

lighting veg i am using 4 foot 4 bulb T5HO arrays (not pictured)
flowering 2x 1000W HPS in 6" air cooled hoods.

nutrients i am using Ionic grow, bloom, and boost. Botanicare amino treatment. Orca and myco madness. CalMag. AZOS. B+. i think thats it :P

Nice setup , you dont use any sprinkler nozzles ...just a hole in the pvc ? What do you use to make your hole in pvc ? I just made the jump to Aero and thinking about setting up some tote systems .

Been waiting to see some aero grown larger plants, always single cola sog style ive seen mostly.... keep us updated, if the split top pvc lines work im all for it, you should do a couple emmiter top'd lines to see in comparison... Az

I used a dremmel tool with a 1/16th inch drill bit. to drill a hole right beneath the end cap on the riser. i did this instead of sprinklers because it is less work not having to worry about the tubs being water sealed around the lid. i get enough coverage this way anyhow.

ditto on the larger aero grows. everyone seems to be going with bio-buckets, but dealing with 10 gallons of water at a time instead of 100 seemed more appealing. I will prob try some emitters in the flowering room. this is the first go with this system, so still figuring out the kinks.

also, forgot to mention to ignore the date image on the camera. stupid thing is apparently set in the past... will update every few days, and i'll change that stupid image date on the pics :P

looks sweet so far

another look at the riser set up, for all intents and purposes 4 streams of water are working just fine~
