Beginner grow systems

ASMR

Hey /crops/ I recently built a 10 plant recirculating DWC system, it was "Stinkbud's" build
I wanted to know if there where other systems, could be drip could be dwc, ETC that a noob could build over a weekend
Also where is a good place to look up hydro builds plans and things like that?

Thanks for the response, that 28 plant system looks great! The build I have finished only has room for 10 plants and tbh that one looks very similar!

I have to ask, do you have instructions for those drip lines, or should I just set up a 3/4" pipe on the inside of the main 4" post to make it simpler?

those posts were 6 inch and there was 35 sites...but a sprayline /tube inside like the aero flow setups works too... i modified that setup to a spray bar for a bit once...just requires one more grommet on each endcap...yeehaw

6" inches sounds much better than 4 giving the plants more root space thanks for correcting me on that.

From what I see those posts are only resting on what looks like a table and the water returns to the reservoir by gravity, do you use separate pumps in that system or one strong pump? Because I think I have a 640 GPH pump lying around somewhere that I could split the water line with a couple elbows. Thanks for the help man!

When I'm done I'll post pics during the week. And give you a little cah-redit! Well deserved
