Ultimate Dutch Bucket Setup for Experiments

In this video, I'm tackling a major overhaul of my Dutch bucket hydroponic grow system! My goal is to dedicate one side to growing delicious strawberries and the other to setting up an A/B/C comparison test for various growing conditions. You'll see me completely redo the plumbing, addressing issues with incompatible pump fittings by designing and 3D printing custom couplers. It was a challenge, but I'm excited to share how I solved it to create a more efficient and isolated system for accurate testing.

I'll also walk you through the process of cleaning out the old plants, preparing the buckets, and setting up the new irrigation lines. Discover how I'm making the system easier to disassemble and clean for future experiments. This transformation will allow me to conduct precise comparisons, starting with hydrozyme, ponzy, and a control group. Join me as I get this revamped Dutch bucket system ready for its first scientific grow test!
