There goes my dyslexia again, make that RDWC

Them saying it's the same as the one from GH isn't true, simply because it does not have a separate return line.. The GH reservoir/controller actually circulates the water through as many WFs that are connected to it.. This controller only maintains the water level in the system.. It does not...

How about a link to the manual.. This last pic doesn't help me much without it.. Maybe I'm just slow..

You need to return the water drawn from the reservoir.. Each WF is also connected to the reservoir with a return line.. With 2 WFs a common return line works fine.. With 4 WFs each 2 WFs can use a common return line.. Two separate common lines.. You need to understand that the dripring pulls...

From what I gather GH has stopped making and selling water farms.. The GH WF controller pulls water through as many WFs as you have set up.. The GH pumping column is in the controller to move the water.. The only way you can move water with an air pump is with a pumping column. The GH...

11 years ago, a closed thread asked, why are growers disappearing .. Now I wonder why there are so few new growers.. Myself, I'm not going to disappear until they kick my ass off for being a curmudgeon.. To keep on topic, I grow because I'm good at it, I just don't post them anymore.. It would...

I'm sold on 315 watt cmh.. Their 32x32" footprint works better for me than my 600hps. About half the heat...Summer heat where i live is a real plant killer.. My cooling is evaporative [swamp cooler], On a really hot day the house temp can be between 80-82*f in the afternoon.. I'm just 35 miles...

I should start by saying I've never done E&F.. Just a post to say, even scroged, some plants will not submit to being kept down.. Perfect example is the two Waterfarm plants in my mixed hydro thread.. Both plants trained exactly the same way and feed the same.. One stayed down to one foot+ long...

I posted this a while back and it passed muster, so I don't believe I'll be stepping on anyone's toes to do it again.. I bought quite a few of their 1/2 inch fittings.. Bags of 25 are really cheap.. I live in a desert so I use drip in my outdoor garden...

Home Depot has 2 types of 1/4" black tubing. The hard plastic is found in the evaporate cooler section.. The softer vinyl 1/4 inch is in the drip irrigation section.. It's not dead soft like the clear but is a lot softer than the hard stuff.

I've come up with a solution for the small capacity of a Waterfarm. For less than $20 in parts, and a simple plumbing, change you can use the WFs drip ring to draw water from a remote reservoir. Thats 120 gals a days for each WF connected to the reservoir. Gravity will return the water to the...
