I checked water tank and pressure was still 58psi. No water came out the valve or could be heard. I cleaned the pvc check valve and there was a fleck of pvc that may have been causing the spring to stay open rinished that out and seems to be working again. So fingers crossed

Woke up this morning to pump constantly running again. Spent a couple minutes draining and refilling but still pump does not hit pressure and kick off. Also doesn't have that shudder that it did when building pressure. So at the moment it shoots up to 50-55 psi but doesn't get higher. I'll have...

I am very happy with esphome and Hassos. I did have issues at first with SD cards corrupting but that's more a hardware pi issue. Once I changed the pi to boot from ssd with big enough cache it's been running like a dream. As long as you keep a backup of your config files if anything does go...

Thanks. Yeah the fitting on the transducer was leaking at the back and because it's sitting on compressed sawdust blocks which was absorbing the leak I didn't notice until the block was noticeably wet unfortunately. Now to figure out how many misters per chamber. Using the tefen 1gph nozzles...

My new setup is gone with esphome on nodemcu over network to home assistant. I prefer the easy setup of the YAML. At the moment mine is very basic, reads pressure transducer and tells relays when to turn pump on and off between pressures, solenoid relays on timer. I must still get around to...

Any growers with experience using the tefen 1gph misting nozzles? Would like to find out your experience how many nozzles you were running at what pressure and timings? I've made a new setup myself. My pressure is between 60-90psi and im just testing with one nozzle per 68L/18Gal totes as the...

I found a small leak coming from a fitting hidden away. Once I fixed that pressure shoots up to 58 psi and then slowly shudders and builds up to desired pressure.

Hi everyone. I'm busy building up a aeroponics system and I'm having a issue where the pressure in the system does not seem to go higher than the pre pressure of the air chamber in the tank. I'm using a 1.8lpm 120psi max pump. This is connected to a check valve which carries on to the...

I thought That the outside air will vary in co2 depending on night or day, but thought it would be more pure than the air inside from all the bong and cigarette smoking that goes on.

Thanks, well I can take them off and see what difference it will make, with the temps I was also still planning to get some flexible ducting so I can vent and pull the air from outside and then put a screen or thin foam filter on the ends.

At the moment I have all the fans runnning of a 12v switching plug, So i would need to get another one to give the fans seperate power then, So can run 1 or 2 of the 4 fans runnning 24/7 But am thinking of giving that a try, The reason i went for 2 intake and 2 exhaust is the fans are only 80mm...

Thanks man :)

Its hard to explain. Basically I took a square block and made a circle for the bulb to fit in, I attached that block perpendicular to some plywood with hooks on the back to hang. Then to stop the bulb and lamp holder sliding out i hand to join another block purpendicular to the other end and put...

Hi. I've made my own Diy grow cupboard which I thought i should share. The cupboard is 21"X24"X36". Unfortunately thats as big as i could get it with the wood i had at home. The lights that i fitted first is the 4X18W 4000k cfls on the side as well as the 45W 4000k Cfl and the 18w 6500K cfl. I...

HI, This is my first time trying to grow indoors And any advice or comments would be appreciated, Below are pics of "My Little Grow room", Im using 4x18w 4000k Fl tubes, 3x15w and 1x45w cool white cfls, 2X11w warm white cfls. There is also a 4FT 6400k fluoro in the corner. But will be using...
