You can bro but 60psi should be fine as long as the gph/gpm is adequate. They need that as a minimum. If they start popping the caps off lol then you need to add the regulator but I don't think 60-70psi will be to muchNeed help Aquaman :/
How many plants are we talking about you can get pumps really cheap if it's a smaller grow.I have one question regarding watering on 360* stakes. I have high gph pump but low psi so my stakes gets really uneven watering. So i scroll through Aquaman’s mother hunt post and saw that i need at least 20psi pump. In my local store there is one pump but its too strong 69.5 Psi. I was thinking to install this pump put antisyphon brass spring valve and 40 psi pressure reducer from rain bird. I would put 4 orbit 8way manifold and 360* stakes. Do you guys thinks this gonna work?
So your saying this thing. Let me throw this onto the discussion..... When I'm mixing up my nutes, especially as I go up in ppm (I try to be on the warmer end of things, not too cold water, for better solubility...). I still notice lot's of white flakes floating around, and collecting at the bottoms, and it's both in veg mixtures, and my flowering mixtures, so it's certainly not excess phophate or potassium....Calcium helps break down the salts levels in plantbut like everything to much is not good to less is not got a good balance diet
So what I'm getting from this, is that it's a carrier ion, and it needs to (possibly) be present, maybe a little in both forms.... Both as a solvent, and a solid. Or not...Calcium helps break down the salts levels in plantbut like everything to much is not good to less is not got a good balance diet
Not sure sure I was just saying in regards to eggshells it use in garden but indoor cal breaks the salt level with in the plant walls cells I am sure ??? And not sure about things floating in tank seems like a reaction like if u But a and B together with out mixing in water first it turns to salt crystals straight awaySo your saying this thing.

It's got to be simply excess calcium, or both calcium/nitrate.... Should I keep the mixture shaken, and try to evenly distribute? or perhaps, discard the sediments? please advise.
Is this a product of substandard cal/nitrate? and is there a difference between purity and batches.... solubility rates, ect....
Up till now, I've been taking it out now and again, swishing it with some liquid, and simply rub it into the tops of the soils, to allow it to penetrate....
Are possibly some semi-solids uptaken as a solute at simply the root level here? Is that what's happening? ie. Calcium is converted to a solute, before uptake..
I know it's a pretty technical question, but I would like to better understand the actual physiology involved in specific nutrient uptake.
That's right it breaks down the salts so plant can absorb it easy as process it up more quicker I should say that's why it's got for deficienciesSo what I'm getting from this, is that it's a carrier ion, and it needs to (possibly) be present, maybe a little in both forms....

This is the kinda stuff I'm really interested at the moment, learning equilibrium for each stages of development, getting the fluids up to exact specs, as possible, for each stage of plant maturity. It's my belief that much headway can be achieved in understanding this process well.
Getting this right will really magnify the watering table, when loaded correctly.
Imo it's just to much work for little gain practically but definitely I find interesting from a learning perspective. Unfortunately it will take an immense amount of testing and time and even then with 2 pathways and every other grow condition affecting it plus different genetics it's a lifetime of lab work.So what I'm getting from this, is that it's a carrier ion, and it needs to (possibly) be present, maybe a little in both forms....

Yea, in the end, I think it's best to put some of that sediment at the top and work it's way downward, that way if some ion's that don't have the ++ pass though there the next day, they can attach themselves... Go be free... It's a strange metal, that we think of as white, but it's actually metallic, like all the rest.That's right it breaks down the salts so plant can absorb it easy as process it up more quicker I should say that's why it's got for deficiencies
the real key with pumps is how far they will pump something (head feet), and the pressure, volume, and overall diameter.. The pump needs to be matched to the lines. You certainly don't need that much pressure, I don't believe. Probably 2 psi would do fine, although 5-12 psi would probably be ideal. Possibly a timer. For all 20 plants, and you could regulate everything from the pump, if you got everything figured right. Do it for very cheap, and have excellent control.Hey thnx for reply. Orbit is limited to 100psi i think and my pipes are pehd pipe that can handle more than 100. Im in europe and cant find anything that will fit my need. If thay have psi they get like very low gph rating. So im thinking going with stronger pump so if i want to double my plant count i can. we are thalking about of 20 plants max. I will buy pressure reducer and first go without it and see what happens.
Should be no issue.I was in search of pump. And found one that would best suit me, in pressure and gph. In description of pump is stated that pump is for use for no drinkable water wit granule size of max 0.5mm. If i buy this pump am i going to be ok regarding nutrients in water?
Mine sprays. But either work... I did it this way so if I use bugger pots I don't need more lines to each pot for even watering. Once you hit prob 3 gal pots with drippers you may want 2 lines per pot but I can't say I have personal experience with that.Does your auto system spray or drip aqua..
boy look like you raising aliens in there hahhaaha,looks like you got the table figured outMine sprays. But either work...

That was the first test. I was surprised I didn't have more tweaking after setup.boy look like you raising aliens in there hahhaaha,looks like you got the table figured out
