This is a self-build kit for 8 plants in a recirculating deep water culture system. This system is NOT DRILLED or you can choose us to drill it for you. This is the same system featured in our YouTube video but with 8 plant's instead of 2 or 4.
*Please watch our video below before ordering as this system DOES NOT come with instructions!
This system includes 8-5 gallon buckets with 6" bucket baskets and one 5 gallon reservoir bucket. The whole system is connected with 1" soft tubing, and recirculates with a submersible 75 gallon per hour water pump. This 8 plant requires Hose Clamps due to water weight to seal up better. Each plant is aerated with its own air stone from the 8-output air pump and tubing that is also included.
This system also includes our water level indicator kit that is in our video except it is a heavy duty non tilting version due to water weight. This does NOT include growing media due to shipping weight. You can order Hydroton separate box. (PLEASE SEE VIDEO LINKS)

THERE ARE LOT'S OF TIP'S AND TRICKS IN OUR VIDEOS TO HELP BUILD THIS! We have a 4 plant video setup but not a 8 plant video, build it's the same as the 4 plant but add an 2 extra buckets so it will have 2 rows of 4 buckets instead of 2 rows of 2, hope you can figure it out :)
WE DON'T RECOMMEND GROWING HUGE PLANT'S IN THIS RDWC SYSTEM THAT HAS 1" CIRCULATION LINES. OUR RECOMMENDED HEIGHT FOR FULL GROWN PLANTS IS 1-3 FEET. BIGGER PLANT'S CAN CLOG 1" TUBING. IF THIS HAPPENS TURN OFF WATER PUMP AND KEEP AIR RUNNING.
