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 ? @BehindEnemyLines
You need to premix your nutrients in a separate container (I use a 5 gallon bucket & 400 gph submersible pump w/ 1 ft. of 1/2 hosing) and mix until it is 100% dissolved. If you do not premix your nutrients until they are 100% dissolved, they will fall out of solution and end up crystalized on the bottom of your reservoir like you are seeing. I use hot water to mix my nutrients substantially faster, room temperature water dissolves slower (I have a hot water tap on my sink).In my 25 gallon dwc reservoir I’ve noticed my jacks is like scattered across the bottom of reservoir some weeks! I have an extra active aqua 400 gph pump is that what your using, can’t seem to find much online about it other than a waterfall? but yeah if you could go into detail that would be great thank you !!!
That looks bad ass, good job.I fixed it!!

I do premix them in separate container never thought of using hot water though I will have to try that.. back to ebb and flow system with the 400gph pump how would I use this rather than airstones ? Do I literally just put it in the reservoir ? But Wouldn’t water shoot out of the top of it ? Lol is there any thing connected to water pump ?You need to premix your nutrients in a separate container (I use a 5 gallon bucket & 400 gph submersible pump w/ 1 ft. of 1/2 hosing) and mix until it is 100% dissolved.

1. I mix Jacks Part A + Epsom Salt in 5 gallon bucket with 1-2 gallons hot of water until 100% dissolved, then add to reservoir
2. I mix Jacks Part B in 5 gallon bucket with 1-2 gallons hot of water until 100% dissolved, then add to reservoir
Lol, I know it sounds crazy, but yes i just stick the pump in the reservoir and plug it in. It runs 24 hrs a day. I haven’t had any issues with flooding/spillage, actually my biggest complaint is the light humming sound it makes while it runs lol.I do premix them in separate container never thought of using hot water though I will have to try that.. back to ebb and flow system with the 400gph pump how would I use this rather than airstones ?

I had to take apart the frame of each one and remove all of the things that hold the lights in placeView attachment 1303409
And re drill every single hole again to make 5 light bars fit on one frameView attachment 1303411
And I have 3 on the other frame View attachment 1303410
I will add that I am seriously exploring ways to increase my reservoir for my flower room to 40 gallons+. My 20 gal res. is forcing me to do weekly changes and I want to make that a less frequent task.View attachment 1303425Then I can adjust the right side to make it more even with the other lights
