They are some general hydroponics seals I found at a hydro store.I think they are for a cloner or something..
This may be a silly question but how do you drain the system to refill with fresh nutes?
+rep really good, may try myself
you dont have any leaks on your 2" connections ever?
I'm looking for an alternate way to connect these, I may use your idea, I was looking at uniseals, but not too happy about those either. THink im gunna visit my Home Depot tomorrow and see what I can think of.
RDWC with undercurrent definitely is the path I am looking at taking. I want to make a system that will rival DD's
From someone that came from that direction and moved to MPD's, I can say you won't. You may come close but I doubt it. Im not knocking ehole's system, or even my previous system, but from a practicle standpoint, his system is waaay better engineered and provides a more stable environment. I have a thread called Tub Girls which is a 4 tub rcdwc system I build off of inspiration fro DD's work.
While it worked ok, it had high tubs, low tubs, controller tubs, etc. With dds system there is alot more flood control as well. I ended up with 30 gallons on the floor when a drain clogged and they system over topped.. DD's properly set up will not do that.
It was clogged airstones, yes.. I also contaminated the rootmass when it was going into flower with another girl that had root issues from before I had chillers running.
Basically I made a bunch of stupid mistakes that I should have known better. Instead of a 2 pound 98bubba kush i got just over 1 from that one plant. 2 pounds from a horizontal lighted plant with 1 verticle would have been sweet, but of course I fucked it up. And really, would 2 lbs be anything to sneeze at? Its just all being said, you can for similar effort build DDs setup. :) Both of these system yield, period :)
HEY SP look for flexible/SPA PVC. Its not super flexible but at least its not rigid.
I will try to be brief.. lol..
One MAJOR thing that dd's system had over mine is that each bucket it individually filled and drained if that makes sense. One bucket is not dependant on another bucket functioning with dd's where with rcdwc the nutes flow from one bucket to the next. If one bucket fucks up, they every bucket after that is fucked up. Not with dd's system. Also a big thing about dd's system is airation :anim_19:
I could be wrong... But I think your wrong homie. Dub's system is modular in the sense it can be pulled out quickly but each mini res is "fed" from a central res. So... if one gets sick....
I think. Correct me if I am.
