I did not expect it take 1 1/2 days to setup my hydro system. Changes from last year...four 13 gallon buckets vs seven 5 gallon buckets, 1200 watts CMH lighting over 4 plant vs 900 watts over 7, inline pumps vs submersable, below net level spray vs 1/4 inch diameter top down drip. This is a picture of the first wet cycle. So far so good. No leaks. Running a solution of bleach and clearing solution. After my reverse osmosis tank refills, will drain the system and recharge with 600 ppm nutrient solution and transfer my seedling to the bigger pots. They are ready..already dropping roots to almost water level. Next weekend will be the high tech weekend, setting up the aeroponic system. I have a few extra days to get more deliveries.
