kind of but its a DWC system... They want 80 bucks for that one system i was just ooking at... I want/need a good DWC that can house 6/8 plants...totes are ok but sticking 2 plants will be croweded...and doing 5 gallon buckets would work better then totes..

I want to do a SOG with DWC..Trying to think of the best way to do it.,.

Thanks for posting bro

That is an Emily's Garden system by general hydroponics they sell the 1-gallon Emily's Garden pots for like 2 bucks each. i am sure it wouldn't be hard to do a DIY with like a 12-pot system or something.

true.. I just dont want anything crowed.. I just got in and had to trim some of the bigger leaf's bc they were blocking the other plants.. I love DWC the stems are sooooo thick and healthy.. So I would like just 1 bucket per plant.. Maybe I will just do single bucket DWC? Maybe I will take a ride up to the HYDRO place on monday.. haha..

If you do a bucket style SOG they sell net-pots that fit the top of a 5-gallon bucket. You can set-up a recirculating DIY waterfarm type system very reasonable.

No, checkout the waterfarm system from General Hydroponics, they provide the directions on their site so you can see how it works, or look on here i am sure someone has done a DIY thread on buckets

no dout man.. Instead of running each hose to each bucket.. I'm building the same way but 3 lines come out..

Each line will go to 4 buckets.. And will have Tee's and the last bucket will have a 90" elbow..THUS the last bucket..You can add on.. Also like it said on the bottom what if the roots get into the line where it cant return the water?
Well I will be using 3/4 hose just " INCASE " the shit clogs it will have a big enough hose to return the water till I catch what happen..So I wont have 30-40 gallons of water on the floor.. I will also use 1/2 to run to the buckets and my feed line will also be 1/2..

I will post pic's on this thread so i dont have to start a new one..

Also..I got homedepot buckets with lids..painted them white and black now just have to drill the holes.. Good luck
