Hey everyone! This is my first post here, so I'll start by telling you a little about myself.
Im a 50 YO guy who has been growing since the mid-eighties. I am a med patient and we currently have 2 trays running in flower at all times (staggered). We are allowed 24 in veg and 24 in flower.
Although the ebb and flow trays work well, I am always looking for bigger and faster yields (who isn't!). I never seem to able to get 1 lb out of either tray. Sometimes we hit 14 or 15 OZs. BTW, one tray is under a 1000 watt HPS and the under 600 and a 400.
So, I want to try building a Current Culture type setup! I'd love to just buy one, but I can't get myself to plunk down that kind of cash. Anyway, mine is going to be a 6 tray, 13 gallon system. I'm currently looking for the square 13 gallon buckets. If I can't find them around here (Lowes, HD, Walmart, Target,etc), I am going to buy them here:
I also have a great hydro store near me that carries UC systems and parts. I'm going there in the morning to see if they have the uniseals, etc.
So, I'd like to share this build here and hopefully get some expert guidance from you folks that have built these. This forum seemed to have the best info, which is why I chose to come here. I'll continue posting once I get some supplies to get going. I need it built in the next few weeks.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get me started? I know there are threads here about this, but I couldn't find any with exact directions. Can anyone point me to a good thread? TIA, and I look forward to building this and sharing it with you all!
