Hey Fam!!
Im running a commercial property and we just recently received our DAB pump after many other reviews we went with this one due to its future use with "Dosatron" applications.
I have a few questions as Im running into a bit of a conundrum for how im going to run this set up and lay everything out properly. I have two rooms a veg and a flower room. In my flower room there are 15 trays that i would like to make each its own zone so it can receive the proper nutrients per the schedule each tray is in. We run a perpetual grow cycle by flipping each tray out of the main room. After countless hours, aches and pains of hand watering for so long ive decided to draw something up and see if its possible before i start to spend the money on the equipment needed to complete the project at hand...
My nutrient line I run with is Athena. I have 4 different feeds (4 different reservoirs) for each cycle of growth. Veg feed, Flower 1, Flower 2, and Flower 3. 5th feed would be R.O. flush.
If I had say a 1/16 hp pump inside each feed reservoir plumbed to a manifold with solenoids each flowing toward the main input line of the DAB PUMP and then having the DAB PUMP turn on at the same time the desired feed pumps solenoid opens pumping that feed toward the DAB PUMP then pushing from DAB PUMP out to the proper zone or zone(s).
My questions are if that would work at all for starters....and how would you go about wiring the solenoids of each tray (zone) to the proper feed pump when the feeds change 3 times in flower cycle.
Im not worried so much about veg as its the same all around anyway. My questions are more focused on my one flower room that we have 15 trays in how I would wire them to a sprinkler controller. Could i put everything on a 24 zone controller ? or would i need separate controllers for each feed? Im still new to this irrigation stuff and would just like some feedback on wtf i should ultimately consider doing or possibilities that are better than what im transpiring at the moment....any help would be greatly appreciated !! Thank you all!
