I don't know something I got at lowes... I found them on the clearance rack and grabbed like 5 9f them. Do you want specific info on it? Those 0.5gal air pots fit like a glove. You could technically fit five of them. I could probably figure out a way to link them together or maybe you can help me come up with a top feed idea. I have a spare water pump. Many air pumps. Tons of hose. Plenty of totes. Plenty of PVC. Thoughts???

you could build a stand for them tall enough to fit a lowrise tote under
each one put a drain on one side and attach some tubing to drain into the tote
then get another tote and run a pump and build a manifold with 1/2" tubing and 1/4" line for the plants

Hmm I'm not quite picturing it. Why two totes instead of one? This is recirculating right?

the low rise tote is the table, the bottom tote is the res....
but instead of flooding it pumps water thru a manifold which is just 1 input and 2,4,6, and on.. and each of them lines go to a drip feeder in each plant. it drips thru the plant into the upper tote, and drains back thru the drain into the lower tote

I wouldnt run a recirc with coco

not with top feed atleast
flood and drain floods from the bottom
top drip drains waste so it is better with top drip to waste
bottom tote is waste and the other tote out of the tent for feed

there are alot of ways you could to it


with those planter liners you have them in
it would be dope to fill them with hydroton with a drain on the bottom and run a recirc
you plant clones in there and the pump pumps feed to each plant via drip stake and drains back down into the res

Prob not good for coco straight but i would like to try it 50/50 coco/hydroton 15 min on/45 off
I actually thought you would have him put the drip on a timer. Like 3 times a day or 5... but i guess it would really be drain to waste since there would only be enough runoff to pollute the res..

Ok I'm slow for some reason I'll have to do some research as I'm not picturing it. I wanna have maybe 4 of those container things with 5 plants in airpots in Coco in each one. And be able to flower in those pots.

Here's the RDWC tent that has been runnng a Rez which has way too much UC Roots/Clear ReZ in it. The pH has been fine. They've been in it over night... are the serrated edges curling up telling me that bro my roots are in a toxic chlorine soup? Will they be fine? Or should i change the Rez out again today?

the edges are showing slight heat stress and they are trying to expell as much H20 as possible

Also is the lack of frostiness normal at 25 days? Or are these some duds ?

I am not for sure what your seeing or not seeing in them pics? They look fine to me. Why cant you change out the system if your concerned? Just change out half of it if ro water is a concern. I thought you bought the same system i did

so I will draw you a picture with what you want and what I was talking about
you want run the res and the waste container in there.....I will give you an example
It is just my opinion that you should run a drip to waste as opposed to a recirc

with a drip to waste you can make a large batch of nutrient solution and fill the res and when the res starts to get low you just dump more in......no guess work ....you just add more solution.....because there are no changes to anything....you just keep adding because the nutrients are at a constant
