Basic DWC starter
I'm starting up my first hydroponic setup. I was planning on doing an aeroponic setup first, but was convinced by the guy over at Frugal Hydroponics that a DWC system would be significantly easier to get started.
The System: 2 10 gallon totes from Lowes - $14 ($7 ea) 1 can of primer spray paint - $3 1 can of black paint - cheapo - $1 1 can of glossy white paint - cheapo brand - $1 2 12" air stones - $5 each i think 1 40 gph air pump - $20 (cheaper if i'd do it from ebay or amazon) 12 3.5in grow cups - $6 Total so far: $50 Other plans: 2 bulb 4' long t8 fixture - $18 from lowes (still need to check price at home depot, i'd prefer a t5) 2 bulbs - $12 Nylon ropes to hold up the fixture and hooks to hold up the lights (not sure price) Total after: $90 or $100 Not bad. I plan on adding the lights on next paycheck so my wife doesn't get mad . I also bought some rockwool from a local hydroponic store, will probably buy online next time. Just getting started, but figured I'd start a thread here. I do plan on making a quick site to show the logs and track results. I'm interested in ideas . |
