The conduit is non threaded.just 10 foot metal poles

How the hell do they manage to stay stable enough to hold and support everything? Also do you too or think they do best in this system not topped and just lollipopped?

The plants support themselves.the scrog just spreads out the branches to get them under an even light footprint.i could take out the poles before chop if I wanted to and everything would just stay where its at.

Dont really understand your second question.if you dont top a plant than they basically just grow tall.without the need to scrog what's the point in lollypoppin.they both go kind of one after the other.

I gotcha, I’ll probably try pvc because I have tons of it laying around to build the scrog, unless you would recommend different. Buckets, lids and pump are ordered, should have the system built and put together this weekend!

I was asking because I couldn’t tell if you topped yours or just train and bend them. I usually top 2-3 times for height management and more tops but I guess trial and error will tell me how my strian will work best in this system.

Appreciate you answering my questions too!

Ill be doing this with 5 gal buckets on a 4 site system. I heard you want to add the volume of all sites and multiply by 2 to get your rez volume

I would use a light proof tote as the top off res and it needs to be higher then the system.

@heisenbubble Just wondering, why did you choose to use garden hose for the section coming out of the chiller and in to the epicenter instead of the standard black hose you used for the rest?

Also I noticed the 90 fitting going in to the top of the epi in your video is different than what you told people to buy, did you do that so people wouldn’t have to use a 2nd adaptor and could just screw the hose directly to the 90 piece?

Few things we need that aren’t on your parts list but are in the videos that would help make it more of a complete list:

12-16in channel locks
1.5 inch coupler
1.5 inch T fitting
X amount of 3/4 inch black water hose
3/4 in shutoff valve
275gph or more mag pump
1/8th of good bud or .5 grams of oil to make assembly more enjoyable

I gotcha, that makes sense. Yes, sir! Have watched them a few times to insure I don’t fuck up lol. You made it really thorough so it should work out great!

I was curious though about the garden hose being used instead of just black water line like the rest of the stuff you used? Does it have an advantage? Have to go grab a couple more things from Lowe’s later, just wanna see if I should pick up a new garden hose or just use the 3/4 black water line I already have a bunch of.

Also if anyone has any questions please ask me here instead of PM.Other people may have the same questions so i wont have to write the same answers twice

I am basically doing a replica of your system but within a 5x5 tent with 4 sites. Now I would like to keep the reservoir outside of the tent just for ease of use. The problem I see is I can likely use maybe 1 of the exhaust ports to run plumbing, but this would interfere with running 2 lines to the EPI like you describe. Any thoughts on this or should I just cut a hole in the side of the tent and make it work? I was initially going to just run it similar to the normal way Current Culture does with the T into a single feed line.

I appreciate any feedback you can provide as I am just torn between how to make it work within the restrictions of the tent.

Thank you for your time.

Cut it :)

The only other concern with that is where I plan to place the tent. The reservoir will have to exit the right side of the tent and then come forward in more of an L shape so that I can tuck the tent into a corner instead of having it centered in the bedroom. If I run 2 lines out I will have to somehow equalize the length to keep the system consistent. This is easier to achieve with a single pipe out.
 
#100
do a single pipe out and just put a T going to each row.Its not that big of a deal.2 pipes coming from each side of the epi will ensure even flow down each side but if you can only do 1 hole in the tent than just use 1 pipe.
