Hello, and welcome to my cherry popping diary here in IC.
A bit of background before we get into the good stuff -Ive been growing for years, and in hydro rdwc since about 2012.. I did the usual before that, soil, coco, dwc, before eventually finding my favourite way of growing, roots in hydro, with both rdwc and top fed recirc systems.
Way back in the midst of time, I used to read pretty much all of Heath and Billy Liars posts on varius forums, so my diy system is nothing new.
So my system, right , its 60 litre pots and there are 9 of them. These have 40mm returns to the res, and a 22mm spray bar to top feed them. The spray bars are fed from the res, with a 4000 litre Hailea pump to do the 4 pot side and a 8000litre for the 5 pot side.
here is a pic of the spray bar, and a pic of it in action
The reserviour has another stand alone pump in it, and a large aquarium heater in there. the pump is to feed the chiller. its a 1000 litre pump and a 300 litre chiller, but it copes fine with my. system keepi
