got the lights hooked up i Need to figure out what to do with that left side!!!!!! maybe I can spread it out a little once I get it in the tent i think I have some playing room. I returned my
bluelab ph controller and bought 2 of the Milwaukee for 170$ a piece ,got my reservoir, waiting on the flood table then I’m gonna build my stand. now when you said you have 2 400 gph pumps in the reservoir one is for keeping nutrients good wouldnt you just use air stones? and what would you say you harvest each Time you pull plants from the flower tent ?

You should be able to slide the bars to one side with one light, and slide to the opposite side on the other light.
I suppose you could aerate the reservoir using a pump and air stone.
The water pump will move significantly more water. I like the submersible water pump because it mixes the nutrients into the reservoir really fast. It keeps the nutrient solution in constant motion so it doesn’t fall out. This biggest reason; however, is when the peristaltic pump kicks on, you want the reservoir and PH up/down to mix fast. The controller reads the PH level through a sensor in the reservoir. If the sensor doesn’t tell the controller quick enough, it can pump TOO MUCH PH Up/Down. This is also why I suggest mixing the PH solution 50/50 with RO/distilled water to dilute it, so it is not so concentrated.
As far as yield, it depends on the genetics and how many plants I stuff in there, but I usually get anywhere from 2.5-4 oz. per plant. I harvest monthly and when a plant comes out of flower, one from veg immediately takes it place.
