xTaps The Hydro System (DIY DWC)
Reservoir: IKEA HÅLLBAR (10L), fully light-proofed.
Precision Upgrades:
M16 Cable Glands: Clean and air-tight hose routing for the air pump.
M20 Cable Gland: Modified to securely fix the monitor probe in the lid, ensuring it is both light-tight and stable.
Monitoring: GIDIGI 8-in-1 WiFi Water Quality Tester (Real-time pH, EC, Temp), ADWA AD11 pH Meter (for double-checking).
Nutrient Base & Preparation: To ensure maximum stability, I am working with a precisely calculated 3:1 CalMag ratio. I supplemented my tap water with 0,21ml/L of T.A. Calcium Magnesium Supplement. The system and media were pre-calibrated and stabilized at a pH of 5.3.
