if roots are already coming out the net pot and bathing in that frothy nute solution you should be good without a top feed, once the roots hit the water the top feed gets shut off... on our 2 girls that hit the water we turned the top drip off, just have a couple roots in the water but its enough
I installed a 3/8'' "brady one way valve on my feed. It is a spring type, but the spring is pretty easy to press. It does not seem to be impeding too much flow.
Any pro's cons to this style? I'm not sure how much flow its supressed, but it takes about 5 minutes to fill the totes. They each hold about 16 gallons till they reach the drain holes.
Thanks, Comercial
I'm using the $10 one from home depot its square 1 1/2" flap style with ring clamps. It holds back 60+ gallons on a 1" PVC line no leaks for days.
what are you going to covering that res with?
It's a 2'' thick piece of what seems to be really dense foam core. With foil on each side, keeps the light out of the res so that it wont absorb light. Along with dust and what not.
Thanks,

If it looks like your getting some shock turn off 1/3 of the lights. Might help to raise the bulbs a little, make them stretch up a little before you put them nest to the plant..
Im moving to Northern Oregon soon, where abouts are you?
I wrapped mine in panda film... something about any metal being near this water freaks me out a bit. This reminds me that I need to wrap my ring clamps on the oneway valve with siran wrap!
I think that he is concerned with the metal reacting to the nutes, and tainting the solution.
