Hi Argos argosthewizard - thanks for your updates and photos - sorry for the delay - work picked up and life just got in the way of my new hobby!! Pics below of my veg set up - it has space for 16 small plants, twice as many as in flowering area but wanted the space to grow from regular seeds and room to keep 1 or 2 small mums, also to set off some other vegetables to grow alongside my 'Jamaican Tomatoes". These are my basic pots, theres another tank on the right with 4 mesh pots - I added the 14cm dia pipe sections to lift the plants giving more space for the roots. Inside the tanks I fixed a cheap misting kit, that will be operated by a timer delay relay and a small pump - waiting for a 15mm to 1/4" fitting to get the mist/spray running. My chiller and inline header tank - theres a larger tank above for mixing and top up. Ive since changed the hose and fixed it properly. Hi Geo - thanks for the photos and updates - those roots are looking very healthy - they look moist without being wet nice! Im gunna start a diary later and will add a link below. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbillybob Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 looks good, just to let you know, that the garden hose your using leeches chemicals into the water, or so i was told. You would be better off with the rubber, food grade hose mate, but it looks like a killer set up, i like it. there are 2 types, go with the soft one,its easier to get on to connectors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bill - I have changed the hose, but to another type of cheap garden hose from Screwfix. I'll get some rubber hosing and change soon.

gavlp20 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 How did you get on with the misting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQ710 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi @gavlp20 Have been very happy running with RDWC - got my hands full actually The misting pump was useless and its replacement is a regrettable AliBaba purchase that still hasn't arrived from China! I plan to get the misting sprayers up and running next year. I did use an aeroponic propagator - its meant for clones but works OK with rooted on seeds too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just build a flood and drain out of a old 8 pot Wilma system but it’s a bit of a pain I need like 60l just to fill it which means my res is stupid might be ok when the chamber is full of roots but was thinking of just using some misters then it will drain back to the res 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
