Dutch Passion Auto extreme - 2400 watt - 12 plant - hydro grow
- Thread starter Taviddude
- Start date
Sorry for the lack of Pic updates, but there's not much going on at the moment.
Root's are EXPLODING with the beneficial tea.
They need to be transplanted out of the cloner soon since some the root's are touching the bottom of the bin.
Waiting on a few things to come in the mail to get this system up and running, but I must say - IT'S COMING TOGETHER GREAT.
SUPER EASY system to build with stuff that's readily available at lowes.
I'm going to start up a new thread on building the system step by step with exact parts so people can save a few hundred dollars on their hydro system, and take pride in knowing THEY built it.
So far I'm using 3/4 inch grommets from lowes with 3/4" barbed fittings (from lowes).
A 15/16" spade bit to dril the holes, and it all fits perfect.
Nice and tight. DEFINITELY won't have ANY leaks, and you don't have to be Hulk Hogan to push in the fittings.
I tried a 3/4 bit and I could get the fittings to go it with a LOT of effort. Although they would have worked fine, I don't think they would have stood up over time while taking the fittings in, and out.
For a 12 pot unit from HTG supply your talking 600 bucks.
You can build it yourself for just under 300 which is still less than what they are asking for the 6 bucket system.
All in all, I hope I can do up a good enough step by step that people can feel confident building it, and saving a few hundred bucks for a decent system.
300 bucks for a 12 bucket ebb and flow system is a pretty good price.
Will get some pics up soon.
Peace.

Check out these Blue Dream roots from the cloner. Only using non-ph'd tap water and clonex solution & gel. Haha i got lazy with mine though and left it in there to long but i figured it was growing like a bat out of hell so screw it...That's cool your building your own system. I got this oxy pot system and i am considering returning it because i can build it a lot cheaper and its similar to yours but you use fabric pots inside the buckets to hold the hydroton instead of net pots.
Hey!
I'm back, lol.
Sorry to anyone who was watching this grow hoping to learn and follow along.
I dropped the ball big time, but Vacation was Gooood. Needed it badly.
All is going good with the setup, and plants are loving it. Put the screen on two days ago.
Pinched the tops of each plant at 13 inches so they would fit under the screen. They bounced back within 12 hours.
Pictures to come.
Sorry again for just taking off in the middle of a show.
