Grow Mediums I want to try hydro, you want to do hydro with me?

Thats very cheap. It will definitely save some money to DIY but i wanted a complett system so i can start going directly, all this hydro is new for me so i try to make it as easy as possible. But in future when i understand how and why, and whats good when it comes to buckets i might fix the system myself if its a big difference in the pocket. Its basically just a bucket and air.. pretty simple. I wounder where all the expenses goes? Will jump in to your growroom once im done with the preparations.
 
I like to build so its fun for me to make better stuff than u can buy . Anything breaks which it shouldn't I can fix it. 60 gallons of water is alot to fuck up in my upstairs haha

I have a flood pan as my floor; It has already saved me twice! You can see it under the three DWC reservoirs I used before this rockwool grow.

A flood pan is good to have if you care about your floor. Im lucky and using my laundry-room where there is a sink on the floor... sure, the concrete-floor has some damage from water but if i want to make it nice in the future i still would have to put a new floor.
I have planted the seeds. Lets see if they come up in a coiple of days. "CS - Klick - Seeds have been planted" .
 
I can control the level of my buckets. I have them high for now because they are literally popping Lil sprouts out the stems now. Later on I will lower the levels . its all done by two Lil valves

My setup will go for a test-run tonight... just need to get 2 power-adapters and im good. Lets hope the hardware got them. Exciting. Will get some photos when ive got bubbles and some movement.
 
One of the pipings is wrong. Started to fill water and its leaking from a "pipe". Im pretty sure they have sent wrong pipe as it was way to easy to fit that piping on. Its just one bit that is wrong, but its to loose in two ends... going to need something to wrap around the pipe and clinch it.
I did put an emergency-thing that i found... its still not tight enough, i will check if i have the correct piping... i just need 112 cm of correft size or 2 very tight and strong things i just put on... this was the piping that came in the package so it will be a downer in 1-5 ☆ rating.
To fit the rest of the piping, heating was a must to be able to fit the conections together. I used my wifes hair-fan to warm the cables/pipes up and it went smoth. If it wasnt for this piece i would give it 5☆ for how easy it was to put together.

Will try to solve it today, any tips are welcomed, what would you have done? Its saturday and shops are closed. What stuffs in home would be good to tighten that line? The pipe is like 1 size to big, you can fit it without problem. Its not tight.

They sent the wrong T-conection and wrong fitting for the pump. The piping is correct, two conections is wrong. So, ill check the pump-conection and see if its "changable" or i have to go with a 13mm pipe instead of a 20mm... i think its 32% loss in circulation. I like to buy things and want them to work from start, i dont like hassle.
