Here's a few more pics,only things I'm changing are the tanks and maybe the 1 manifold that stirs the tanks.new tanks should be here today says tracking.
Wow that is sweet! My shit is super ghetto in comparison.Here's a few more pics,only things I'm changing are the tanks and maybe the 1 manifold that stirs the tanks.new tanks should be here today says tracking.

So your using two tanks, what is the purpose of that? And what brand resivours did you go with?
How many manifolds can that pump do at once? I got a cheap sure flow RV pump and can only push through 2 manifolds. So I use the silinoids as well.
im going to wait till I upgrade my resivours before I ungrade to a pump like yours. I run these surflows that are self primed. They work I’ve been running them over a year now. Just a bit on the ghetto side lol.no point in trying to tap into the bottom of these barrels because like you said they will leak and mine are old as fuck already.the 2 tank deal is a few things,its twice the capacity and it allows me to do water only sets on organic soils and also flush stuff thats finishing.plus my ro and dehuy will be filling a tank at all times separate from the tank with nutes mixed. as far as the pump im pretty sure it would run every manifold in the room at once ,you might need a lil longer run time but this pump is almost too much power for my lil setup (10 bubblers)
I thought about using a pump like that but then decide on this type for the extra flow for stirring tanks and also being able to use a hose to water while other zones are running or even by itself.kinda went Overkill after using a shitty pump in my old shop.that lil fuckwt took a good 10 minutes to water 7 and 10 gallon pots,I want it to be done in 2 to 5 minutes.im thinking this thing will do the whole room or 80 lines at once in under 8 minutes maybe 5.im going to wait till I upgrade my resivours before I ungrade to a pump like yours.

I’m gonna start a new time to eat thread since the chickenman is a chickensissy and has removed his thread because he doesn’t want anyone posting in it.Bruschetta with sweet balsamic glaze!
Ya this little pump does 16 lines (2 manifolds) pretty well. I run 2 gallon smart pots of coco so the y get water 3-4 times a day. Would be nice if it would push through 4 manifolds so I wouldn’t have to use the sprinkler system silinoids and controller and pump start relay lol. I went with 1/2 pump which I’m sure if I would have got the 3/4 with more gpm I would be golden. Not going to invest anymore cash till I do I right like your setup is.I thought about using a pump like that but then decide on this type for the extra flow for stirring tanks and also being able to use a hose to water while other zones are running or even by itself.kinda went Overkill after using a shitty pump in my old shop.that lil fuckwt took a good 10 minutes to water 7 and 10 gallon pots,I want it to be done in 2 to 5 minutes.im thinking this thing will do the whole room or 80 lines at once in under 8 minutes maybe 5.
And man I watered each room twice a day for a long time before I got this system setup. 4 times a day I was down there watering lol.

Thats what im doing now, but my room is one of your tables lol.And man I watered each room twice a day for a long time before I got this system setup. 4 times a day I was down there watering lol. What a pain in the ass!
Are you growing in coco? Feeding once a day is no problem.i mix nutes fresh everyday unless I’m leaving for a couple days or something. You could definitely setup a siystem like mine for under 200Thats what im doing now, but my room is one of your tables lol.
Yea, right now i do feed once a day but im in 3 gal smart pots. I mix every day fresh too. Im gonna drop down to one gal hard pots and do an autofeed for my next run though. Later in flower i try to give em 2 feeds a day if they start gettig a little dry.Are you growing in coco?

For best results coco should be fed at the same time everyday like clock work. Train them to puss and shot at the same time like the military lol.That’s why I like the automated system, get the food mixed up and I don’t have to worry about watering or the pots drying out.Yea, right now i do feed once a day but im in 3 gal smart pots.

It took me a minute to get that down but i feed within 30 min of the same time every day now. Its not hard for me now because i have 3' of clearance under my canopy :cry: but it will be harder next run with more plants and way smaller too. Im considering 16 in a 4x4 with a short veg. Thats when this autofeed will become a necessity.For best results coco should be fed at the same time everyday like clock work.

Do you run that Co2 setup with a controller or just a timer? I might grab one of those and run it the same for a run or two. I dont feel like sealing my room but i dont mind being a litte wasteful with the Co2 if it makes a difference.
Just a timer, lights on the co2 is on. It’s very waistful but it’s worth it imo. Each room goes through a 20lb tank in 3 days. I can’t run anything eat because it would be to hot the second the exhaust went off.Do you run that Co2 setup with a controller or just a timer?

They really do even just raising just 4-500 Ppms especially in the winter.It's about to get Sexy in there....
Years ago it seems I had a co2 set up with a timer and shit... if I remember correctly I was really really surprised at how much the plants loved it. Can't recall why I stopped using it? Drugs most likely....
