Have you a rough estimate when all 24 plants grow well the yield you would b expecting Aqua.and this setup covers a 6x6ft ..spose these will all b clones and vegged for 3 week?..
Prob around 3lbs but a lot depending on strain and grow. Mine is a 4x6.Have you a rough estimate when all 24 plants grow well the yield you would b expecting Aqua.and this setup covers a 6x6ft ..spose these will all b clones and vegged for 3 week?..
Lol we will see. But thats the plan.Man thats gonna b jammed packed ....Aquas jungle room...youll open the door and get smacked in the head by a flinging branch haha...
Great thread Aqua, one of the most concise coco threads anywhere. Once I figure out how to grow healthy seedlings in coco, I feel confident I can finish the plants with this info!
I've read everything on that site a bunch of times. I've been growing in soil for most of my life, which is one reason I think I'm having so much trouble now. I can't remember the last time a seed hasn't germinated for me. I'm just having trouble with early seedling growth in coco, whether to water daily to runoff, just enough to moisten it, or to treat it more like soil and water it every few days to let the roots look for water. Aqua has helped me with my water/nutrient parameters and light height so hopefully things turn around. I'm fully confident I'll do well with coco once I get my seedlings down.And here you go...

I only use 4 cause I rather put em in than just close them and leave em laying around. They come on for 4 secs an hr. during lights on last feed 2 hrs before lights out right now and one in the middle of the night cycle. So 10x during lights on and one lights out.@Aqua Man what drippers are they you use? I noticed you have 4 per pot. I'm using the blue wilma drippers, they're more open ended tbh you get a lot of flow and I think they maybe causing this slight problem I have.
I get 350ml per minute flow from them so it flows fast through my pots. If I slow the flow from the pump I'm not sure if water distribution will be very good across 20 pots. I've just hand fed them all 1lt each with some great white I do this every few weeks, I checked the ec while doing this and it was 2.8 but with the drippers it's only coming out at 1.8 so I'm wondering if the flow is too fast through the coco and not flushing the whole pot just the stream where the water flows through the pot to fast?
Bit you do need the pressure to run them. I haven't tried without but I think they need about 25psi. This is why I went with a 40 psi diaphram pump. But check the gph also they are not all the same.ill find a link to my pump.I only use 4 cause I rather put em in than just close them and leave em laying around.

Think these are them. I got em from home depot. And you can order the same ones super cheap off Amazon under a cheap brand.
These also work.
Honestly you wanna keep 1/2 pvc as far as possible. If over 20 plants maybe even 3/4 then reduced at the t's where the risers are. That will ensure you get enough flow to the 1/4 for all the lines. IMO 1/2 min right up to the 1/4 lines. More than 20 plants and lines then 3/4 is how i would do it now with the t's going 3/4 to 1/2 for the risers.Wow 4 seconds mines 2 mins so maybe my flow isn't fast then lol
cheers mate I've just been looking over your planning out coco thread and I think after this run I might redesign my dripper system, I had to use 13mm to 4mm Cross connections because the proper manifold are not easy to get hold of in the UK... So my set up is like this in the picture, I used 13mm hose and then 4mm for the drippers, all the 4mm pipe is the same length to keep flow even...
Yes absolutely you want a loop to even the pressure out. Also remember gph doesn't translate into pressure so you may have a pressure issue if using say a pond pump.After reading that thread I'm wondering if I should join the 2 13mm ends up to make it on continuous run and use a bigger pump, mines only (317 gph) 1200lph....
This is coco in 1 gal pots feeding 10x a day at 250ml right now. Early flower.
Yeah if running the sprayers you will want a diaphram pump... seen them as cheap as $60. After this meeting I'll hint some down for ya... how many sites we talking about?I definitely need to do some upgrading on the next run then... This is the pump I'm using at the moment
