Bio buckets + undercurrent = living hydro

Hello. I've been gone awhile.
I'm back!

Doing a new hybrid system, bio buckets and undercurrent together. I live in the desert so there isn't enough bacteria in the air to colonize my system. I am experimenting with colonization by hand. I have added ewc tea and companion to start colony of beneficials.

I'm running well water. I haven't added any nutes except silica and calmag. Plants are golden pineapple. Not sure what line of food yet, I have sample of a few. I'm also growing under 2 630w de cmh from growers choice.

Day 6, took off the heads of each plant.
Golden pineapple was bred for sea of green. I top it at least twice. It produces well.

So I noticed a leak in my seal at the res.
I drained the system and sealed it. 24 hour cure and girls are in buckets while we wait.

Kal, you said that you were in the desert. It may be dry, but those microbes are still floating around in the air. Talk to people at local pet stores about how long to let a fish tank acclimate before buying new fish. The properties are the same, and big toke talked about that in his thread on bio buckets. Several of the bacteria are the same. It looks like you already have a great start going. I would have just left my system running for 2-3 weeks to start that bacteria, instead of 1...
