I think designing the jets to come around the pots using 45 degree fittings and using slightly larger holes for more flow and less pressure would be the next improvement.Looking real good!
That waterfall set up looks like it is rockin it. One thing I notice in the last pics is how the stream of water ( which looks like is under a fair bit of pressure) is pointed at the base of the net pot and the rootball , and it seems like the ball is hollowed out where that stream wants to hit it. Maybe keeping that stream from blasting the ball would let it fill out more...?
My .02 anyway.... roots look happy!
I still like not having the air pump, but maybe sometimes what we want and what we need are different. Redundancy is good. I think I'll stick with the air pump. But on the other hand I am certainly sold on CMH's, your shit is looking mighty fine. Thanks for keeping everyone updated, you're an inspiration.4 hour comparison since I adjusted the water level. No change
You and I think alike. I too was coming across waterfall grows that werent using stones or chillers(so higher water temp) with amazing results. i wanted to apply that to my undercurrent because its so compact and small compared to the up scaling thats done with the more common and popular waterfall setups on the internet right now. like my little recirculating pump compared to that behemoth.
if you saw in my no air stones thread i wasnt too worried about removing all my airstones but was a bit scared to remove the last air pump and diffuser disc from the epicenter. once i did tho i never looked back and the results were fantastic.
then i put fear aside and started to edge my water temp up just like you are considering. i did a baby jump from 68 to 69. few days im like "69 is basically 70" so went up again to 70. then i jumped to 72 after a few more days because i didnt see any negative results. once i hit 72 i was pretty satisfied but figured id set it to 73 so the two degree chilling effect would keep me at 71/72-73.
during ALL that, i also switched from RO water to municipal tap during week 5 bloom which that could have killed my entire grow had it not worked out.
fear would have kept me from accomplishing so much in so little time and honestly all those things have completely been a game changer. ive learned more in the last 3 months by doing whats not recommended than i have in the last 10 years of following copy/paste hearsay of what i should do
Human error, the thumbscrew came loose on the float adjustment. I lost one plant from that mistake.That sucks dude. Hope they recover
My float valve makes me nervous too. What happened to it? Was it human error or mechanical failure?
I think if you had air pumps the plants might have taken the flooding a lot better.
