2400w Homemade DWC system

long time lurker, I finally bit the bullet and decided to make a grow log.

I built a new system with home-depot buckets, using 6 inch net pots with rock wool cubes in them with a top feed drip system until the root venture down into the water. I used my old water farm control bucket as the level for the rest of the buckets. There are 2 pumps inside the control bucket one for the drip and one is inline to move the water threw the system twice and hour for a couple mins. Ive got 4 600w lights over 20 plants. I just switched from GH to Cutting edge and so far so good! Seems like A LOT less salt build up with the CE. Over all im happy with the system so far no need for a water chiller and the ph is stable in all the buckets. Im always up for advice!!


For some reason it wont let me upload pics

Here are some pics right when they went in and at 1 week of flower the root pics were taken 5 days apart

Thanks everyone! The new system is working out great so far, I am putting together my second as we speak. The 2nd system I used 1 inch hose to move some water around quicker. Didn't have any problems with the 3/4 inch but wanted to see if it would make a difference. Also I am going to do 10 plants instead of 20. I think they are too cramped together so we'll see. I got some pics of day 18 flowering, the growth is great and the roots are beautiful! Any guess on weights? I have no idea what to expect. 20 plants under 4x600s?

not sure if anyone is looking at this but hey! Im on week 6 for the big system and week 2 on the little. The big system will be revised this next go around. I am going to do 15 instead of 20 buckets. I think 20 was a few to many. Here are some pics. I went out of town for a couple days.. Came home and some of my plants looked damn near dead.. I took the best pics of the leafs that I could so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks
Take care
