My local store, which became a national hub, had full time staff knocking these out the door. Until I got one, and realised it didn't work properly. Sent word back after modding it, and now the stands exist. Though I don't set them at an angle. Which is why mine is kinda sip, and could use a float to maintain it as such. I have other mods to maintain the level, stop root blockages, and quieten it down. The basic idea is great though.

I think they misunderstood why the stands are needed. As with the sip drawings, you need an air gap between the water, and the inner pot. Or the roots go to mush. There is no need to tip the bit out though. Or indeed, have them quite so high above the brain bucket. The pipe they use into the outer, is just a couple of inches, so tipping the roots to it, is illogical. The pipe needs to reach the center, so circling or dropping roots, don't go straight for it. After which, it's very reliable, but noisy. Mine... you hear the relays click. Only as it's the standard box still, not one of my own. Which are 12vdc, because it's a grow room.

Pebbles don't really hold enough water for a few hours between cycles. They have pots packed closely, indicating smaller plants, and no access routes. Most people are using 4 pots per meter, maybe less. They need a bit of water in the bottom. These are all things to think about, when running these systems. I can help anyone running into difficulties though. That noisy air hole that eventually blocks and floods the place, for example.

High Performance Deep Water Culture Hydroponics Systems

UC SOLO COMM- RECIRCULATING DEEP WATER CULTURE (RDWC) SYSTEM​

screenshot-hydrobuilder_com-2024_10_22-09_42_41.png

The Under Current COMM DWC Hydroponic System is a Greenhouse Grade Re-Circulating Water Culture System made specifically for Commercial Growers.

The system includes the newly designed 35-gallon Multi-Mod Commercial growth module. It’s built to last a lifetime and produce consistent heavy harvests. It features a specialized recessed Drain Well that allows for full drain out and a Fast-Fill Float Valve for easy maintenance during planting cycles. This unit excels in "media-less" growing, utilizing Current Culture's industry leading "media-less" net pot insert/neoprene collar. Less inputs means less hassle!

The 35 gallon Under Current COMM systems will function much like their 8 and 13 gallon counterparts but will feature several unique and up-sized heavy duty components. Every element of the system has been reinforced and maximized for longevity in adverse greenhouse-style conditions.

All COMM systems come standard in a “Boneless” configuration WITHOUT straight sections of 3” PVC to allow for custom plant spacing. The COMM Air Manifold also comes standard in a “Boneless” configuration WITHOUT straight sections of 1.5” PVC to allow for custom plant spacing.

Current UC COMM Configurations are only availble in 1 Option at the moment:

  • COMM LID 6 X 5.5" HOLES WITH 2 X PORTHOLE COVER
GROW TREES
Yeild more with less reduce plant counts more production per plant
GET YOUR WEIGHT
Accelerated growth rates cut veg times heavy yeilds = heavy profits
TAKE A VACATION
Easy and reliable no timers, no guesswork reduce labor & maintenance

Growing in the Under Current COMM

For commercial applications, the Under Current COMM triumphs in efficiency and yields. The COMM system offers growers the opportunity to fill very large spaces and grow massive plants without the extra work of managing multiple systems and reservoirs. Having fewer larger systems equals higher productivity in terms of workflow, transplanting, maintenance and harvesting.
The Under Current COMM system would be best situated in either a greenhouse or indoors with a combination of vertical and horizontal lighting. The 35 gallon COMM growth module with single plant sites will be best utilized on 70”+ plant centers.
Starting plants in our 8-gallon Under Current® systems and transplanting them to the COMM module at a height of 3-4’ will yield a monstrous 8-10’+ finished plant when harvested.

Accessories for your Current Culture UC Hydroponic System

Grow confidently. With 10+ years of industry-leading innovation and results, we are the experts.
Culture Solutions nutrients are the best way to provide balanced nutrion in your hydroponics system to maximize your plant's vigor. The proven approach to successfully growing hydroponically.
Cultured Solutions Nutrients

The following important tools will maximize your garden's production. Suggested products listed as add-ons at top of product page above.

Reverse Osmosis Water Filters
Water quality is of the utmost importance when growing in water culture. RO water allows growers to control all minerals and nutrients their plant's uptake. A reverse osmosis water filter is recommended for source waters exceeding 100 ppm.
Water Chillers
The highest levels of dissolved oxygen are only accessible with cool root zone temperatures. High water temperatures limit the solutions ability to hold dissolved oxygen, while also providing the ideal environment for dangerous pathogens. Water chillers ensure cool, consistent solution temperatures are provided to the root zone.
Meters & Testing
Utilizing metering equipment in your garden will offer precise monitoring over essential environmental factors such as pH, ppm/EC, temperature and humidity. When used in conjunction with dosing and controlling equipment, the Under Current has the potential to be completely automated.
Reservoirs
Using a top-off reservoir will maintain accurate and essential solution levels throughout the course of the growing cycle, ensuring plants stay hydrated.

Current Culture has commercial cleaning products for both surface and air disinfection and sanitation.

Current Culture Air Sanitation
Indoor greenhouse air quality can have a huge impact on plant growth and final product yield. Humidity generated by the plant creates a perfect breeding environment for various airborne pathogens and fungal diseases like powdery mildew, downy mildew, and gray mold/botrytis. These microbes can easily spread throughout the greenhouse, putting your crops at constant risk. The best way to prevent an outbreak is to invest in air sanitation technology.
Current Culture Surface Sanitation
The Current Culture C1 Mobile Disinfection Cart is best when you require ozone disinfection in multiple locations within a facility, different buildings, larger facilities, or when you simply want the convenience of mobility. Professionals understand the benefits of ozone as a disinfection tool and a safe organic solution that can replace traditional or harsh chemicals. The Mobile Disinfection Cart uses ozone-enriched cold water supplied at the rate and concentration you desire.

GROW TREES
Yeild more with less reduce plant counts more production per plant
:thinking: Wasted floor space results in less root and yield? Round buckets ok? Square buckets better ?
You already know where im going with this ?

As with the sip drawings, you need an air gap between the water, and the inner pot. Or the roots go to mush.
Aeration is a issue if there is a power outage
Expandable Sip design. Passive.
Thats what makes a system like this so attractive

That noisy air hole that eventually blocks and floods the place, for example.
The overflow valve, must have a safe overflow plan if flood is a danger


The above system is only 35 gallon ?
