man your not the only one! they are already showing their preflowers and the smell is intoxicating to say the least. I want to run dd system but money is tight so i have to go the cheaper route for now. im hoping to get at least 5-6oz outta each one running the 600 hps and 1000 hps. :afroweed:

ok well after researching and looking around i cant figure this out so ill ask here. I have 5 gal buckets in a rdwc with a 290gph pump 3/4" fittings and 3/4" line the problem is that my first bucket from the rez fills up wayy too fast all the other buckets are fine and my drain is fairly good. Ill let the pics do the talking I hope you guys can help me out!

Looks like the pump from your rez might be pushing water in faster than the pressure from like 2" of water can push it into the next bucket maybe??

Try to slow the flow from your pump, or drop $10 on another bucket and and drill a bigger outlet hold in it, then try using it for your first bucket and see if that fixes it.

dont think that would work i think the only thing i think im going to be able to do is get a smaller pump. if anyone has any other ideas id really appreciate it.

i had that problem too at first. what i did was get a "T" for the black tubing and split the flow so half went to half the buckets and the other half to the other buckets. the only thing now is that you will have 2 returning lines back to the resi but you can "T" that off and combine that back into one tube so its only one tube in one tube coming out of the resi. This will at leas cut the water flow in half so not as much water should fill up in first buckets. hope this helps

im going to try that now i just hope my shop locally has 3/4" tees which i doubt....idk im getting frustrated been at this all day ive tried lifting the buckets up a bit but that doesnt seem to work.

If you can't find a "T", couldn't you just drill a 2nd hose outlet (essentially turning your bucket into the "T")?

i was thinking the same thing. in making 1 bucket a manifold of some sort i think. If i cant make it work i think im just going to flower in the rubbermaid bucket there in. only problem is that its wayy too cramped in there i think i messed up letting them grow so big in there ha! :anim_09:
