Hey now. Almost set up again and will be posting pics in a day or two. Just dialed in the climate control. My partner and I have spent about 7 grand so far in equipment. Hope it is worth it. I am very happy almost now..

Those buckets look great! Can you post a step-step on those? I think theres alot of people here looking for a good bucket setup and yours look top notch

here is an update on my project. Any imput would be greatly aknowledged. I have a few minor things to do still but I am up and running. I have a fully automated climate control and am maintaing my co2 at 1850 ppm. So far so good. A 12 inch elicent fan is powering my carbon filter by canfilter. I have a 10 inch canfan sucking out my hot air from my 4 k worth of lights. I hope this pays off well.
Also check out my garden pics I don't know how to add that yet to my link here

looks good, u got everything covered. what do you mean when you say the elicent fan is powering your carbon filter and the 10in. canfan is sucking hotair out of your lights? which one is your exhaust for the room? and where is your carbon filter located in your room
greenthumbdanny
the 12inch elicent is exausting my room, it is also hooked up to my canfilter so the smell passes threw first. The 10inch can fan is hooked up to my light hoods sucking out hot air

Tight set up bro but i'm still lost. Most hoods have 2 flanges. An intake and an exhaust. If you have glass in the hood then you leave the intake flange open and the other one goes to the exhaust. If you have removed the glass, only an exhaust flange is necessary. I'll now resume my position in left field lol.

im building this same controller bucket system but with 8 buckets. do you have drip emitters on the 1/4" tubing? is your return 3/4"? do you have air stones in all your buckets including the controller? do you cycle your pump or 24/7? sorry to dump all the questions but im a rookie.i have 8 dutch passion seedlings 4 bluberry 4 w/w they are 3 weeks old ill be putting them in their own buckets in about a week so i got to get this system built. i have all of the materials except the pond pump & drip emitters. anyway you look like you got it going on. nice setup!

The bucket system has worked very well for my friend. Very fast growth and big yield. I am running the pumping columns with 1/4 in tubing no air stones in the buckets not needed being that I cycle the buckets a couple times a day the pumping columns provide plenty of air. I am running 1/2 inch tubing with 1/2 in straights and elbows. I am trying to find a pump that will move all 32 buckets quickly any suggestions would be great.
greenthumb, my light set up is like this only because I have no access to fresh intake, the only way I can think of is to suck out my hot air out of the grow. It seems to do a good job of sucking all of the hot air from the hoods out, I know what you mean by the other end being a big loop
