My idea was to have the main line come back to the res with a ball valve at the end.

Could you shoot a link to this back flow thing? Is it like a ball valve?

I was planning on using like a 40% concentration hydrogen peroxide for nasties. Sounds like hydrogen peroxide won't do much for me after all. So do you put bleach into your feed and whatnot? Like your gurls get bleach in their water? That sounds totally fkd up to me man lol. But at low doses, I...

I got the 1 GPH emitters and the 1/2 GPH emitters and a ball valve to control flow. So your only dripping water and feeding by hand? How has it been working for you?

That's not a bad idea.

Seaslug mentioned nasties in his res using bubblers earlier. How do you guys avoid that? I was doing just fine until I tried to add microbes to my res and it started giving a real funky smell. I guess I didn't clean it out well enough after that because it kept coming back, very mildly, but I...

I am going to get both a drip setup and a blumat setup because I just can't decide and I'm an indecisive person like that lol.

Sweet! Much thanks! I already bought a bunch of Rain Bird products on Amazon. It was very well priced.

Okay, so I'm buying a 'magnetic rotor' pump and gonna do a test. I'm gonna take ppm readings of my solution, run it thru the pump and take a second reading. If the magnets are hanging onto particles/ions/elements, I should get a lower ppm reading, right?

People run mag drives without any problems whatsoever tho, right?

I think it might be better to go with a centrifugal pump. What do you guys think?

I dunno, don't you guys think that the nutrients in the solution (negative/positive charge) will stick to the magnets? Some more than others, causing deficiencies? I JUST got my feed program down perfectly, don't want to upset anything.

I am a landscaper lol

Should that be all that I need?

I'm flip-flopping like at mother fkr here lol. Okay, I think I'm gonna run blumats and 2.2 gal air pots.

Shit... I want runoff tho and I'm going to be running 100 gallons of medium. Looks like I can't run blumats.

Here is my plan: Blumats running to give me 10%-15% runoff and a very small 80GPH pump that empties my waste catch. I will have bubblers going in my res to keep it aerated. 1 blumat per plant sound sufficient? I apologize for the bombardment of questions. I've been nonstop researching for 2-3...

@seaslug could you please give me a supplies list for blumats? I am ordering them online now and don't know what components I need. There seems to be a lot of different add-ons and whatnot. Do I need a filter? Will these things clog-up on me?

Only a couple of degrees? That's not bad, I can deal with that.

Blumats may be the way to go, but I know nothing about them. I just know that the res has to be higher than the blumats and they feed at a constant and can keep your media at a constant moisture/saturation.
