Look for a Danner/Pondmaster/Supreme Air (all the same thing) AP-20. O.co has it the cheapest @ ~ 85 shipped right now. About 28L/min so a little less flow then the Eco commercial 1 but they are higher quality.
The 4" holesaw in reverse does a nice job of melting the hole, I also had to take care when deburring not let the blade cut too deep and nick the hole making a weak spot. Now that everything is put together and holding water I'll try to get a couple harvests out of it and maybe give cch2o a call...
It's not so much that the walls are thin, the plastic on the tubs is a bit brittle, all the leaks I had around the uniseal were due to the hole giving out and cracking. As long as the hole is actually intact a watertight seal isn't a problem however I made the mistake of putting everything...
I just finished a DIY UC and I gotta say alot of hours went into trial and error, fighting leaks etc. The lessons learned were valuable though like running the holesaw in reverse for a clean hole (had to redo a leaky tub due to this) using heavy duty PVC glue on the 3" manifold (waterweld is a...
PM is like herpes... You notice the safer product says controls PM? Sulphur, milk, neem, phed water, it all kills and can control PM but it wont eradicate it. A systemic is the most effictive way to break the cycle. I know theres people on the farm that can attest to how well eagle 20ew works on...
It's a combo of Eagle 20EW a systemic fungicide and Dithane a contact fungicide with a different method of action to prevent resistance development. Seriously hard hitting shit, you'd have to break from label instructions as Clevis comes in 4 8oz soluble sachets and it's 32oz per 100 gallons of...
In veg? Clevis would be the most effective solution if you aren't uncomfortable with harsh chemicals IMO/E. 1 Clevis application to my veg room after finding PM and zero PM to date (happened 4-5 months ago)
Killer setup man! Youre doing what I want to do with my closet on a much larger scale. Do you have your GroBot already? There was a significant update recently so youll want to send it in if you do.
I don't know the model off the top of my head but the Brinks 1 outlet grounded lamp timer they sell for about 7 dollars definitely works, actually I like that one better and it's easier to find.
Glad to see everything is going well BS! I just finished putting together my quarter-colli, had to PVC glue the tees (sucks because the angles are a little off and can't fix it now) I had a guy that cuts custom neoprene collars make me some 4in white ones for my setup... waiting on them to...
I agree hose and clamps are not ideal at pressure. I found a place that has the fittings for a reasonable price 10+ so JG Tee + Female adapter under $5 a set, sweet.

On the misters I've read...
How are things going for ya Bob? I've been considering the options on the colli and I think I want to take the plunge and go HP also. How did you connect your misters to the JG fittings? I'm trying to figure out whether it would be cheaper to go with 14 of the tees from here
plus 28 hose...
I like 4 levels with 2 600w lights but I don't know if I can afford them, I think I'm going to start with 3 levels and 1 1k since I have that on hand, 45 plants should do fine for the first run and I can add levels and change light config easy. I don't know if you mentioned this earlier in the...
You should know, there's never a *final* plan :evilgrin0040:
I'm on hiatus right now, wanted to start off with a low/no veg SOG to get things rolling again while also vegging/growing out some big plants. I figured the best way to make the most out of the GroBot is to have it maintain a large...
