New Buckets for '05 - Indoor Grows - Hydro - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

pistillwhipped · 01-11-2005, 12:25 AM

Here's my latest creation. This is a twelve site recirc/drip system. I have a bubble stone in each bucket, a 390 gph little giant pump, and GH dual diaphragm air pump. Resevoir is a 25 gallon rubbermaid.

Nothing in them yet....... more to come

Outstanding, Pistil...that looks totally professional, like you picked it up at the HD or something...can't wait to see one of your legendary grows in that thing...

may I ask where you picked up those buckets at? I am looking for some good black or dark blue square or round 5 gallon buckets to make a setup like yours. thanks

Very nice Pistill, I do believe your on your way to brighter days.

pistillwhipped · 01-11-2005, 01:04 AM

Thanx!

Suppra.... I went from restraunt to restraunt collecting these buckets. They were white when I bought them, but I cleaned and sanded...undercoated with fire engine red and topcoated with the blue.

I wish I could say I'd found a cheaper bucket supply ...already black/blue/green....but alas... I had to make them that way. Can't beat the cost though...if you don't mind a little elbow grease.

Awesome...i love top feed re-circulating systems...they are definitly awesome...the only problem i had was when the storms hit the mid west the last two weeks, and i lost my power for a week, and all my plants died!!! It sucked...luckily, ive got six of my clones...at my girls house to continue my strain...but top feed systems do rock, ive got a Top feed/NFT tube system...and compared to some of my friends...it blows all there stuff away, even in the growth factor....

I cant wait to see your next grow!!!

Any chance of a HOG or Krypto style how to?? I have just bought some Aquafarms and am getting interested in drip systems,

I would like to get the principles down so that I can set up something for vegging them a while before putting them in the system. and maybe using one for another place which im setting up a grow at, lol, my gran always told me never to keep all my eggs in one basket. But thats not gonna be for couple months yet. So pistill, hows about a how 2 please??? cheers m8ey.

That setup looks like it will perform for you, pistillwhipped. Pulling up a seat for this one!

How high will the water level be in the buckets?

pistillwhipped · 01-11-2005, 08:06 PM

Thanks for stopping by SmokeyCigars. I'm about two weeks from filling those up ... going to be an Ice run

Harry... You betcha. One of my other friends here has asked for a little pictorial...step by step.... I'm on it.

Rolando...ah...graced by your presence Orchid Man!! Good to see ya. I like to run my water about 5 inches deep. That way the roots are always wet and the oxygen massaging them. My system is not necessarily conventional ... others will surely come with suggestions...which I am always open to , of course.

I'll put that stuff together for you soon Harry-G
