DIY 4 site hydroponic system for full size plants

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share this hydro system I built a while back.. Its similar to a lot of popular systems right now, with a few upgrades of course;)

The system connects (5) 5 gallon buckets using one for a reservoir while recirculating the nutrient solution with aeration. A 4 outlet air pump is used to run air stones to each site which provides oxygen to the solution and root zone keeping plants healthy and happy=)

A submersible water pump provides nutrients through a drip halo in each site. Gravity drains the solution back into the reservoir through drainage tubes.

These are great for any larger size single site plant like tomatoes or other vegetables. The roots grow through the clay medium and hang out in the aerated nutrient solution. This can be considered a deep water culture system or DWC, with recirculation. The constantly moving solution helps with salt buildup over time, which eliminates potential toxicity from those types of hydro systems.

You can easily build one of these yourself if you are handy, I'm happy to answer any questions. We also sell these at our store with a small markup for the labor.

Hope you enjoy the post and good luck, happy growing!
