Been wanting to do this for years, although with a different setup then this....
3 years ago I did a decent Humboldt Backyard "Hydro" Outdoor, like 9 blocks from the County Courthouse when I used to live in Eureka =)
It was hydro in the sense that it was soiless/coco medium in 8 gallon buckets that I hand watered coco/hydro nutes every otherday, but I've always been wanting to use flowing, bubbling, splashing water under the HOT SoCal sun.
Now is the time!
As you can kinda see, there is a PERFECT ~4 strip of intense sun that falls inbetween my house and my garage, its SUNNY back there, and both walls are painted with a gloss white exterior paint making VERY bright reflective surfaces inaddition to the direct sun. Any time I was back there doing shit I was squinting so I figured plants should like it nice!
This is a 50 gallon rubbermaid agricultural stock tank [that I normally use to E&F 3'x6' table's]
I then made a little structure out of 1x's that I can set an 8" netpot into that my victims are waaaaay rooted in, I have a small dual output airpump under the edge, a 6" stone under the spot where each basket will be hanging
The only thing I'm worried about is heat, it gets pretty cold at night in the high-desert, so that will swing the res temp back down, but just hot tissue damage and vascular stress, but then, its hydroponic so as logn as it keep it's respiration up, it should be fien, right?
Oh well, we'll see! I know where to get shade-cloth!
But either way, I covered it with panda wrap the plastic gets WARM, even though it reflects so much energy, as long as it the plastic getting warm and not the water!
My dickhead neighbor has the day off and is fucking around in his backyard, so I will put the ladies in there later, but this is them from liek 3 days ago.... it the two up in the table... I have been training/tying them for a month or so getting them nice n wide for the outdoor plans!
Check out the link in my sig to, theres some normal DWC action lying around my digs as well!
