being able to feed remotely is also a big benefit, I was just thinking I can now test the effects of night time feeding something I could not do before

One thing I'm highly excited to see is all the different and unique ways you guys find to use the system.
I tried to incorporate as much "to each their own" design into the "swAmp method" and system to give the grower the ability of adapting and personalizing it to really make them "their own".

I'm very excited this is my first real dive into hydro, besides the 100perlite hempy. I like the idea of all the run off going to one basin, collecting run off in the back of my flower grid is difficult and I always bump into things

safety first I will remain in contact with you since I've followed your previous journals on other forums and can attest to the fact you are the first one to put these methods in this form for all to learn from. although one could probably build the system themselves , as many do with aero clones, you may find it faulty or run into errors. I have faith in your production standards and would think you would provide customer support for simple gardeners like myself who rely on things working without major hiccups or headaches

I appreciate it.
It wouldn't bother me if a home grower took the idea and ran with it creating their own personal system.
With the simplicity it runs with, most will be able to figure it out in just a few minutes.

I only did that so someone already making systems couldn't show up next Christmas and say, "Come look @ our all new system!"

If you're a home grower who figures it out and makes your own, great!
If it turns out better, get a hold of me and we'll "speak"

swAmp is made by a home grower, for the home growers
(Just me and a work bench with too much caffeine atm actually...but growing.)

I know but it's a savage market and the all in one pre-fabricated systems are a gem for people like me who can't afford leaky DIY systems, I also prefer to "plug n play" as it were with thing's

That's what I hope to do with anything that comes out of here as a "finished" product if the concept takes off.

The "method" and bucket, if proven successful, can and will be easily replicated by others.

I want you to "know" you have a swAmp product in your hand right when you pick it up.

Coming from the background experience of being a veteran who specialized in electronic warfare for 10 years, along with another 10 as a plumber, I understand and value quality work and craftsmanship, and would want any "production items" made to make that loud and clear.

I'm a firm believer in, "Quality work is worth the extra cost".

I'd bet my bottom dollar on that.

A few shots of the Blue Dream before harvest. Day 74

Day 2 of the auto bubblegum germinated directly in the bucket. No more dome needed.

Gelato clone looks good too.

Everyone is happy.

 

[kovidkough]

hey man hope your healing up well

Gelato colas coming down tonight. 1 of 4.

hot damn this is ?

Are you gonna explain how it works, then?

Are you gonna explain how it works, then?

It's a method that uses a reservoir with just the right amounts of LECA and water that doesn't need any added air or circulation due to the automatic watering that waters 1.25 gallons per day at a specific rate.

Here is the first complete ~swAmp Bucket 1.0~ that I'll be sending out to a few interested growers in the next few weeks!

With a 1/4" quick connect that allows you to shut off and disconnect each individual bucket.

And a 3/8" quick connect drain for easy removal of drain lines

As you can see, everyone in a swAmp bucket is cruising right along.

I've managed to only spend about 15 minutes a day for the last week taking care of the plants.
So long as the reservoir isn't empty, it seems the system really doesn't need me much anymore.

But that was the plan all along
More coming soon.

Sounds good!

I've been having to neglect the plants lately due to outside circumstances, but I finally got some time to invest today.
I figured it was time to get the veg tent up and running with everything in place.

650W HPS in the hood for the upper deck, 24W T5 flourecent over the seedling dome that's heated to 80F (will place tape over temperature sensor) , and ambient/indirect light for the clones.


It always gives me the warm fuzzies when everything is nice and tidy
More inc soon.

Inspirational stuff!

Really interested, but not quite ready to dive in.
I'm still having issues with soil! lol - but I'm reading, re-reading and studying this thread because your system clearly works - VERY WELL
(I have no windex sized buds to compete with those pics! lol)

I've been griping about short plants in a 7' tall tent --- your shelving might allow me to get into some REAL trouble!

 

[rkymtnman]

so have you thought about a price point per bucket? or did i miss it?
