I was convinced to try rockwool buckets instead of dwc so lets have a go at it.
I went to lowes, bought 5x10' pvc pipe, bunch of 3/4" adapters, both size cement tubs Lowes offers, 3x 5gal buckets, and 2" cement reinforcement grate for the scrog, total ~ $65. Im trying to keep it as diy as possible.
One $40 bale of grodan shredded rockwool filled the buckets with about 2/3 left over.
I soaked the rockwool overnight in ph 5.5 r/o water.
Drilled some drainage holes in the buckets.
Filled the buckets with the soaking rockwool and let it drain
ph'd the runoff and flooded the buckets one more time with ph5.5 and let it drain
Backfilled the dabney babies in
ph 5.5 ppm 350
Like I said I have no experience with rockwool buckets whatsoever Any and all help will be appreciated.
I'll do a diy for the flood/drain table+scrog with parts list and measurements if there is some interest but its very similar to Levitikuz's ebb tables: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=70262
rockwool growers please stop by and say hi
