:wave: HI Everyone,

I joined awhile back but never posted

I have a functioning Barrel system converted to all water trough grow beds.

Tomatoes love it. Lettuce.

right now I have lettuce and Cauliflower

Sunlight has dipped behind the trees to the south of our lot so limited sunlight But I am supplementing it with grow lamps 7000k and a 10,000k

I am preparing to setup a larger system IBC with filters.

Anyone in the Philippines done a IBC system?

NFT styled trough system will work good here if you have a fast pump. I have an idea for that as well

have a wonderful AP day! :wave1:

Yep. But it has its draw backs 1) lack of materials, 2) here in Palawan we have two climate types hot and rainy and hot and dry. 3) good seeds, 4) net pots and the like are nill. 5) hard to buy online from here because many do not want to sell and send to the Philippines.

My average water temps are 29-31c. And this time of year the sun had dipped behind the trees to the south not giving me enough sunlight.
