Oh ya ,, I remember reading a few pages of this!!!The bucket:
the 1/2" inlet connector hole will be drilled using an 1-1/4" hole saw 1 1/2" to the center of the hole above the bottom edge of the bucket. the hole is then deburred, nilon tape wrapped around the threads, one rubber washer on the inside, push the connector through the hole from inside the bucket, one washer on the out side, then crank down the nut.
I then do the same thing on the opposite side with the 3/4 connector but this connector will be 7 1/2" from the bottom to the center of the hole.
I then plug the connector ends, fill with water and see if they leak...View attachment 703914
I line up the holes with the handle so that I know the two connectors will be directly opposite from each other. I hang the string just so I can line the hole up with the handle.

did you cut some holes in your tent????Finished water testing my bloom system, not leaks to report. I do notice that the first buckets do gat a little more water action than the others, but I think it's okView attachment 714561 View attachment 714562
Tag me in this shit when you get it going brother! Im down for the builds! I can help, and I like to learn, and im a googling muthafreaker when we need answers! :)h4ppyf4rmer we are thinkin alike I am doing a DIY 12 COB light and a DIY RDWC for my next grow I will be doing an under current RDWC system tho. It will be a 6 site system using under current design such as this one
Hands down UC is the best! The current can completely change the fluid in a 18 bucket system every 3.5 mins... It dont get much better than that unless you want to go aeroponicsI do like the undercurrent design, it's more of a water pull versus a water push system. I didn't know about this design before I started my designing... one thing I worry a little about the UC system is the distribution of nutrients moving up the buckets, it's probably fine though.
haha, I never answered this... yes, I cut holes in the lower Velcro vent panel of the tent and through the screen of the vent.did you cut some holes in your tent????
Well u know me!Once my bloom tent is done being used as a drying tent(next week), I'm going to make a couple of changes. I'm going to add another 1/2" feed line off of a tee from the pump to even the distribution of the feed. I'm also going to add something to straighten out the return lines because the distance between the buckets a pretty long and the return lines droop.
nice!!!I be firing up my Uc soon!
thanks, next step is to get the 6" fan mounted.looking good bro!
Man brother right after you get your light built,The 6" vortex fan installed, what a pain in the ass with all the lights in the way. Not sure about the intake routing of the 6" hose for optimal cooling... I'm currently letting the lights heat the tent and see if this fan will get rid of some of the heat
mine's better, cheaper, lighter, better ... yes, I said better twice because I like better };-)Man brother right after you get your light built,
they go and do this!
lmao!mine's better, cheaper, lighter, better ... yes, I said better twice because I like better };-)
screw that Growmau5 guy, selling out the DIY to work for "the man" !!!
I'm sure they are but you're going to hang one of them in a 4x4 or 4x8 tent... he's gone total commercial grower at this point.lmao!
those are badass lights tho!
oh for shizzle..I'm sure they are but you're going to hang one of them in a 4x4 or 4x8 tent... he's gone total commercial grower at this point.
Prob should of went 6" 440 cfm with the leds for a 4x8..so after running my lights and having the new fan running, I see no difference in the temps... I'm sure the air exchange is better, I have some good negative pressure in the tent. I can feel the air being sucked into the open vent.
hrmmmm, I was hoping for better heat reduction,,,
