Blazeoneup - I just wanted to thank you for a great tutorial. I downloaded the file and checked it out. Great - thanks for all the work you did, and do, for the rest of our benefits.

Question: Kinda like the Krusty buckets, what if you got some very high output air pump, like a compressor, to really pump the air through. Would this be beneficial, or is the air system you have more than enough? I ask because I have the compressor, and noise is not an issue.

Thank you Blazeoneup. Really superb.

What's up blaze on up... YOu are by far one of my favorite documentators of grow journals... I really enjoyed your tutorial and had to read it 3 times to get most of the system... I am really curious how the water flow is done,how do you fill the buckets and when you drain them... what is the actuall process... Do you have your float valve on a timer and how does the drain work other than gravity and emptying the controller.... i've seen your latest journal on ICmag... and was curious how you set up the dehumidifier and r/o unit all on teh same drain.... ... I am starting a new grow and need a little advice.... I was thinking recirculating dwc, because of my success with dwc in the past but hated the hard efforts to keep the buckets at proper ph and ec levels not to mention the once a week dumping of 10 + gallons per 20 buckets.... anyways also would you suggest 2 1000w hps or 4 600 digital hps? I am thinking 4 600 for the light spread and the maximum effiency and pge cost... plus i have the multi flow system with 30 buckets each are 2 gallons, would that be sufficent amount of space for roots to grow and not clog the drain holes.... with your current system what prevents the roots from cloggin the drian wholes and over flowwing a certain bucket??? also where can i get a cheap water chiller for 2 55 gallon drums... I am going go big... plus i have some fantastic genetics and want to continue my hybrid's and train to stabilize a few strains... any help you can give i wiould love... anyways hope to hear back from you and hope every grow looks like the last few i have seen... You should also consider writting your own book on the DWC and Recirculation... have a good weekend... C 4 n n 4 3 1 5 K 1 n 5

do you ever have problems with slight leakage on the bottom on the drains? Mine are tight but drip a little. Also, when the plants take off the roots will grow down into the drains all the way to the rez in some cases, maybe you want to suggest to install an ebb and flow filter for each 3/4" fitting.

Thanks for your post though Blaze, it was very useful when building my Recirc DWC

question blaze, .... these are some tough ones, and im sorry if they are a pain in the ass. but you will be saving a confused medical patient some real fucking help...... here it is.



Im building a 14 bucket system. I plan on doing it in a square 10 x 10 room but im using 6 x 2 for a vegging/mom area. so that leaves me with 8 x 10. i figured 2 feet fully round each pot. im gonna grow trees are huge monster colas. I own 1 1000 HPS, 1 1000 MH, 2 600 watt HPS hortulux bulb, 2 150 hps. 2 10 inch flange 5 feet tall carbon scrubers. I have 2 256 eco pumps sumbersable. i could get a 3rd out of storage. All my hoods are air cooled and i plan to have a 12,000 3 in one AC/dehumidifyer(does 60 liters of water a day)/heater. THe walls are pink i got a bunch of flat paint gonna paint the room..... I also have a closet... this is where i plan to put my Control bucket and Trashcan Rez. 2 rows will have 5 buckets on it. 3rd row will have 4. So 3 line system.

questions..

1.What size pumps do i need? should i use all 3 pumps each line?

2. How well is the water really recirculating? Is it because the pump draws the water as it squirts a stream of water on top? Are there any new modifications you are working on you can let me in on? I want to make sure to do this right!

3. Do you own a inline chiller? What size etc do you suggest for me?

4. What and how many parts do i need... my shopping list.... i notice you have one for 12... what do i need to add for what i just explained.... I was also thinking of using metal brackets that tighten to prevent water leaks.... as that was a major problem without anything holding them.... little problem.. in a side project i have going on 2 bucket system.

5. should everything be level? this is how the system works?


6. What products, nutes, algie fighter, root stimulators do you use. i remember you telling me about sm90..... will this prevent me from having to flush this system every week.

7. flushing... do i need to clean out all the buckets and everything? so i need to prepare another 14 buckets to put my plants in as i clean the system out? Whooo thats a lot of work....

8. Do you use 3/4 ebb and flow fittings for drain and 1/2 inch ebb and flow fitting for pump because of recirculation reasons... or because of pump fitting into the hose?

ok i will stop right there for now... i will scan my print out to my room. and try to explain it to you... if you need pictures i can give you them, but its just a empty room right now.... im starting and need to get this done Fast~ As im moving at the same time, harest, transfer soil plants, tear down my old grow room, etc.... u know what its like to move..


so your help is sooooo greatly appreciated!!!!! thanks bud...


this is my experment i have right now. growth has taken off so much im just going with your system bro. looks like it works. look at next post of my scheme of the next grow room
