dd got 42 off 10.

I honestly dont have a single root growing down any drain lines, that is because the tub is a solid mat of roots, only when they were getting started did roots try to follow the flow out the drains. the roots get after the airstone and the other roots follow.

im sure you could get away with 1 drain but I would have to ask why you only want one. a clogged drain would be a nightmare

I was curious once you put them in there after vegging... How far did you hang the lamps down away from the plants, height wise? did you ever adjust them? I am new to vertical lighting!

I pretty much kept the bottom of the bulb at the top of the plant until stretch was over. I had to move those bulbs a lot

Hey dizzle do you think the extra water held in each reservoir is contributing to the size and health of your plants since each of your plants are getting much more than 5 gal per plant DD suggests. Are the roots making good use of that huge container they sit in?

I am preparing my strong boxes and i'm using the Ecoplus E&F fittings. They come in 1/2, 3/4, and 1" tube fittings, as well as the rubber seals.

The quick release fittings are nice, but probably not the most necessary part of the whole system.

The cost difference is huge. 10 pack for $20.

its next to impossible to take a decent pic. needless to say they are big. ive been busy setting up my other room, I got it all up, turned to pump on to see how it worked and every single bucket leaked out of the feedline. I cut the holes a little too close to the bottom and it wont get a good seal. so back to home depot to pick up 6 more buckets and ill fit them tomorrow and post some new pics

nope, Ive never ever had PM. I dont know if im lucky, but i think its due to over doing my ventilation. the air is cleaned once a minute. I had some avid that i sprayed right before i flipped and havent seen a mite since
