nice
You taken the complication out of doing this project! Thanks so much. I see you’ve run 2 lines from the pump for 2 buckets. I’ve not even begun to get necessary items and try this. Is that the most you can run off of one pump? Wonder and helpful video!
to loud in the end. 🤨
Using clear tubing for water level indicator nearly killed my plants with Pythium & Rot. Just drill hole & use plug.!
how are people filling water with this setup? just pouring it thru the stones when needed? cracking the top would seem to be a problem down the line with some decent sized plants in there
We’re do u by the. Pots. And. The. Net pot to for on to bit. Cheep I’m from Scotland
You should have a gap between the bottom of the mesh bucket and the top of the water surface thus allowing the plant to air prune it’s roots
This is a masterpiece
water level indicator won’t be of any use IMO it’s bent what’s it good for if the water cant move freely thru the tubing? and try air discs you’ll get more bubbles.
Hahaha we got the same drill and setup
Use blue tinted hose for the water level. Algae will build up with the clear hose due to light penetration.
Really cool tks for guidance 👍
Thank you sir learning on this here
Bro a step bit works great and doesn’t leave all that mess. Just sayin. Great video.
This is THE BEST VIDEO EVER! No b*******, no cutesy chat… Just the facts. And very clearly shown. Thank you so much.
The clear tubes are cut to short and have kinks reducing the flow, as well as being clear they will get green algae fast, black tubes are best for this
Poor job
I have a question, for a 6 bucket dwc system; how much gph should my air pump be?
Right on! Still helping people 2 years later. Gonna buy a new drill right now. Mahalo!
how do you put the nutrients on this things?
Dude fuck yeah! Your awesome bro!
How often do you have to change the water and nuternizer?
U hadmyour zip ti the wrong way round
Starting mine today. I bought a 6 bucket system with everything included for $129.00.
elbow
Nice kinked hoses, I’m sure that’s accurate 😂
Elbow bulkheads are available and wont kink the clear tubing. Swing it to the left to drain spent mix and back to a snap clamp or ring but not a (tightened) tie-wrap.
Yiu should have you air stone raised slightly so not touching bottom of tank it will do away with flipping noise
Nice! FYI, when drilling into the bucket, go for highest speed, and very slowly introduce pressure to the drill bit and it wont chunk up.
Hello. How often is the water in the reservoir changed?
Should have used a 12 inch 90 degree elbow so the water level viewer is not crimped LOL
Looks more like a bubble bucket not "dwc" still cool tho
that "water level indicator" is so ghetto. Don’t do that people. there are simple 90 degree elbows designed for such use case. Plus, you NEED a blue hose tube. Not clear. Clear will grow algae. ignore everything this dude says
The fitting can be found where? Varied sizes?
Won’t the roots clog the small pipes?
Any root rot problems without chiller
Best ever
My man, your shirt and your build reminds me of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. He’d totally have made this tutorial too, lol. Thanks again mate!!!! Legend!
Much u for 4 pot system please
It’s called a paddle bit…
did the first zip tie backwards
Stupid…u use an elbow smh…
Thanks for this vid. Did you have any issues with algae using a clear water level indicator pipe?
What do u do so that the water doesnt come out the hole out the bottom??
So tap water is still good to use than ro water? Ro is always best i know but tap is good too?
What’s the black thing called sounds like you said ⅝ sparge fitting? As I’m going to hardware store try and find these.
You dont need to change the water?
I run the air line through the water hose…one hole
Lmfao 😆😂😆😂
