If you would like your lids to come with the 3 small holes drilled for securing the net pot via zip ties please choose the "Yes" option. We will drill them and secure with zip ties.
Otherwise, lids will ship with the standard 8" hole for the net pot and the appropriate number of zip ties to later be installed as you see fit (no zip-tie holes pre-drilled!).
This PA Hydroponics MINI 8 Gallon Waterfall system is designed to fit in a 4x4 or 5x5 Gorilla Grow Tent with the reservoir out of right side of the tent and flows back with 3" PVC for clog free growing! It will need assembly but all hole and tube cutting and pvc glueing will be already done by Gary himself. Please allow a week for construction on these systems! This system can be put together without any tools and is ready to go. Water flows from the outside reservoir thru 3/4 inch tubing and pours into top of the 8 gallon grow chambers with an inline 400 Gallon per hour pump, each plant site will get about 100 gallons of nutrient solution per hour which should keep it stirred up for even PH balancing and mixing. Included in the kit is a 265 GPH bottom draw pump with 10 feet of 1/2 inch tubing used to drain the system and reservoir. Each plant site has an airstone and 10 feet of airline to run to a 4 output air pump that's included. All you need is Clay rocks, nutrients and starter plants and you will be growing in the best system that we have ever built! Please watch our full assembly video to see how to put this together and to fill and drain this system - this does NOT come with any printed instructions! Thanks for watching :)
This system kit includes:
5 - 8 gallon buckets - drilled
1 - reservoir lid
4 - 8" custom built bucket lids - pre assembled
- waterfall tubing manifolds and 400 gallon per hour pump - tubing mostly assembled
- 4 output air pump with 10' tubing and air stones
- custom built 3" pvc return pipes all glued and ready
- water level indicator for reservoir
- 265 gallon per hour system drain pump with 10' hose
- 3 complimentary hose clamps
This system is totally drilled and ready to fit perfectly into a 4x4 Gorilla Grow Tent, it IS possible to fit into other brand tents that have similar placed duct ports.
ASSEMBLY TIPS AND HOW TO FILL:
- Use hot water for the soft tubing! This expands the tubing which helps it go on better and also helps it seal better on barbed fittings as it cools back down.
- On the 3 inch pipes the large rubber washer goes on the outside of the buckets.
- Lean the hump piece over as much as your tent hole will allow for smoother operation.
- IMPORTANT! When you fill the system, fill it to the bottom of the hump inside and out, then turn on waterfall (this will burp out the air in the hump piece)
- Your reservoir will run lower than the plants sites, top off the water level till it touches your starter plants roots to get started, later you can let the water level go down when roots are established.
- I usually don't use hose clamps on any of our systems and have had minimal problems, some people do add hose clamps to our systems that is up to you. We included a few incase you need some.
- Don't snap shut the plant root access flaps! They are very hard to reopen!
- If your flaps start to loosen at the joint you can put on a strip of Gorilla tape or electrical tape to strengthen it up.
- Please watch our videos on Fallponics for assembly :) Thanks. And don't forget to tag us! #FALLPONICS - Gary :)

4 x 8gal Fallponic system
This was my first time using hydro of any kind. After researching the cost to build a similar system Gary’s price beat the diy homedepot lowes build hands down. The growth of the plants is amazing. Once the roots hit the water they took off. Can’t wait to add the chiller to the system. I’m sure that will be a game changer too. Thanks Gary for building a great system and keeping the prices reasonable for home use.

Great system
Great system. No leaks, runs great, fast plant growth. Easy to put together. I actually 1st built my own using 3" bulk heads and Gary's water fall design in 2 x 27 gallon totes with 1000 gph pump. Built it after being inspired by Gary's videos. Cost about the same.. Let me tell you so much easier just to buy it. Probably would have saved a couple of bucks as well. If you figure in the cost of the parts and the time to put it together and mistakes, it's really worth paying Gary the extra 100 bucks or so + shipping just to buy the system. Although it wasn't necessary I changed out the 400 gph pump with a 1000 gph pump that I had laying around. Runs great no issues, leaks. After I harvest my current plants I intend on raising the system up about 4-5 inches and either leveling out the caterpillar to get rid of the hump or replace it with a straight. It will be much easier to drain the system. I currently have system running through a 2 valve manifold so when I want to drain it all I have to do is turn a couple of valves. Because of the hump though I need to pump the water from one of plant sites over to the reservoir to drain it. But still 5 stars, it's worth it!!

Awesome System!
After a great deal of research, and wasting money on subpar systems and thinking about designing our own rdwc, we wish we had just bought this in the beginning. Awesome design, easy to build, and after troubleshooting a couple small leaks we are good to go!!! We modified one thing. Instead of having the caterpillar as a hump to get out of the tent we set everything on plastic pallets and flattened out to catepillar. It allows us to have a lower water level if desired, and the system is easier to drain, but we do lose about 5 inches in tent head room. Love it love it love it!!!!

4 plant mini fallponic
System came in quick, was easy to put together, and is a beast. Been running a couple of weeks now with 0 issues and not a drop of water leaking anywhere. Watch Gary’s videos and you won’t have a problem, I’m also the questioning type and the customer service is great, they write back to emails super quick. Happy growing.

Exceeds my Expectations!
I replaced a RDWC system I bought off Ebay with the 8 Gallon Fallponic system. I could not get the old ebay system to work without leaking. The quality of Gary's system is far superior to those sold on ebay. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Thank you Gary, and your you tube videos are a great source of knowledge!
