In this video I go over how I set up my recirculating DWC (RDWC) hydroponics setup. Make sure to watch through the end because I go through a few changes along the way.

Not using that seal front and back is a huge risk too take.. Come home to a flooded grow space will change your mind
Great job, I guess it habit for us to be whispering
Nice setup. You forgot 1 thing though. Teflon tape!!! Lol it'll help so much with potential leaks.
Did you have any issues with the roots slowing the outflow?
Bulkhead backwards. Nut goes Inside. Watch current culture h20 assembly video for bulkhead example the right way if u dont want leaks or not. If u wanna bad ass system YouTube heisenbeans genetics diy rdwc videos step by step. I did mine 27 gallon totes with 2 inch pipe
And those pipes are like 3 inch pipes
You need more power.
How big is your tent?
never gonna work right just saying do a little research maybe before you spend all ur doe!!!
That`s a nice setup for a closet!…My tip for you would be thinking about going for Uniseals for the connections between the pots/buckets, not Bulkheads.
Uniseals are much better, they really keep it tight so no leakage, besides they are very much cheaper than Bulkheads and last your life out.
Bulkheads are really made for smooth surfaces, not rounded, so if used it should at least be square pots…but Uniseals work 100% no matter what kind of pots you got.
(And good going changing those tiny pex tubes for a 1" solution…1" is really minimum for such a setup because you can expect explosive growth and massive roots…those roots can easily clog those tiny tubes and all the water end up on your floor)
Use black pails bro, orange = light on yo roots = root rot
Nice!! What type of thermo insulation for the buckets?
Great video, once again! Stay high!
Awesome setup. I bet its gonna grow beast yields in that closet.
Love the setup man!
It’s a good setup, making it watertight a hassle. I’ve seen a coloured resin type glue for joining the pvc pipes. I think you may have applied that, but once it’s done will be well worth the effort. It’s a cool hobby. I like your attention to automating the whole system, taking time at the beginning.
