I love the stick idea consider it stolen lol. I can rig a pump up and runs a hose down the stick. The flood tray I will just shop vac after giving it a slight grade.

I tore my little grow box down and built a small 10x7 room. Half assed a door with AC and all the old equipment is adequate for it. Completely sealed and CO2.

It's half assed thrown together but air tight as hell here are some pics.

what i did is found me a couple limbs and busted them to have a v just like for holding a fishing pole,laid the pole across if and marked were i wanted the water to spray angle wise,every 6in ,so no matter were i took it it hit a plant,use the smallest drill bit you can get,small hole helps the water to build a pressure to spray,then make sure that pole stays level and you have a auto system ,if you took 4 rolls of pots and bunched them together on that table a sog would be the bomb man,wouldnt have to move them plants ,have your net on them pole leveled across pot let her go on a timer,take a few days to get timer were it would feed enough but you know the routine,hell with that room run sog both sides,find another room for vegging hahaha

And that would eliminate plugging. I will prob build a PVC loop and drill holes like you say. Then run a slightly oversized pump for it. I can measure the amount out of each hole and have an exact time per gallon and set it from there. Did I mention I missed ya old man

you just got to think im freaking broke how do i do this with nothing hahah,you should have seen me trying to level that suspended pole 30 ft long with a slope drop to 3 1/2 ft on the end,that long box i use to have was 2x12 boxes end to end,3 bed ,pipe was on the ground up top and 3 1/2 ft off ground on end,i wound up getting it level but half way down pipe i had to make bigger holes,no pump for pressure and the bigger hole made a steady drip instead of spray,the pressure at top of line sprayed back half dripped,i wound up putting 3 pole in the center of beds and put field fence right in the middle as a tressil and hung the pipe on it,what was best of all ,was no water sprayed on plants made for no bug issue from diesed plants ,they get wet in this sun turn yellow and shit ,you already know that game,but the pipe drip on the stalk and feed real good

You bet bro. Great to hear from you again

Well they seem to be doing fine after transplant. Will see how the vermiculite plays out now that they are in slightly bigger pots. Will update again next Monday.

Will be trying to hit 30k lux by then but we will see. Will be upping CO2 to 1200ppm tomorrow.

Tiny bit of clawing on a couple so water they get next time. Still no idea how long that will be.

Next water gets some...

Noice! I've had to back my ppm way off since using this stuff man, something to keep an eye out for. I think you're gonna like it.

The window AC has 2 fans 1 hot side and one cold side. They are separated but there is a tiny gap for water. No pressure in the room either way so there is no loss.

I use the titan 2 co2 monitor.
The reader is in my flower room. I adjust the heighth of the meter so it’s just above the canopy so as not to waist co2 by filling the room completely.

Lol exact same. But small room and plenty of circulation so it stay pretty mixed. I don't see any diff when moving my sensor. None the less it's good practice

So plants got transplanted this week and topped yesterday. No signs of stress. Pulled 4 plants, just to sensitive to light so not something I wanna keep as a mom. Lighting up to 25k lux humidity at 72% till tomorrow.
