Picked these up today. $4.14 for a 3 pack. Going too hook up the other room tonight when the lights come on. I got these to have better coverage over the coco they spit out 8 fingers and adjustable.

Nice auto feed dude. Nothing like having employees that never sleep. ;)
After fiddling with a few of the different nozzles from Mr. Landscaper, I settled on nothing at all. Nothing to clog, nothing to replace. Cheaper and no difference in performance...
Currently I use stakes to hold the bare cut end of the emitter hose in exactly the right place, right where water doesn't hit the base of the stem yet still gets enough spread on the top cube in the rockwool stack to flush things a bit. The flushing may just be my imagination, but thats what I'm shooting for. I've also jammed the stake in the side of the top cube, kinda wedged in between the cube and the plastic wrapper. Both ways work fine and I've never had to worry about elephant foot rot issues.

Yeah I like just using the drip line by itself with the cubes. I did some fiddling with those today to get that good coverage on the top block. Im probably gonna grab some stakes for those next time.
Looks like 2 min on for the first feed and 1 min for the second will do it this round. These babies are stacking nice for 4 weeks! Already got some leaners! They've put on more frost since the last pics too. This is going to be a real good round both of them put out pretty nice.

No filter yet. I have one just need to hook it up. I ran out of time tonight but I did get it up and running just before midnight. Wide open gives some nice coverage with the ap 1000. I'll dial it in when I get back. They already want twice a day.

Rock wool is 2 min feed then a 1 min feed later.
Coco is also 2 feeds but just 1 min each for now.

Hey thanks growchick!
I did clean up pretty good with all the nutes! I was wanting to try the H&G stuff too especially the aqua flakes. @BudGoggles told me try that a little while back. I didn't realize what I had either till I got home and read the top of the box. It was labled H&G hydro kit and I was like oh man!!
I cant wait for the expo coming up this weekend! I'll take all that free stuff.
The ladies are a cpl days past 4 weeks. Im pretty surprised at how big they are. Starting to stink real nice too. #5 has got some double headers. That thing is going to be a monster! Im really liking the rock wool.

Hey sixstring thanks for stopping by bro! Yeah I had this setup before and they started clogging up with salt so I tore it out and went back to hand watering. I need to get my filter on there today.
Had a few clones die on me while I was gone they weren't ready to be outta the dome yet. I need to get on that domeless cloning!

I thought about using a filter on my setup but then I wonder about the filter catching larger nute particles and changing the mix on me.i guess im just thinking about granular nutes like jacks more than liquid stuff but even the ionic bloom and boost I use is pretty salty.idk man im prolly over thinking the whole damn process lol.

My problem is I dip my buckets to get water and they sit on the floor which has coco bits. Always getting floaters! lol
