my 3 stages of flower

So far, so good on the surgery!!!

Well, got one Ak 47 showing those little white hairs in veg One down and a bunch more to go

awesome, glad to see you are still with us old man. i just got an ak47 cutting last week from a fellow stinker. papaya should be showing any day and other new strains are close to sexing.

Yeah, I'm still here but, I'm as sore as a virgin pussy after it's first fuck hopefully its because of two surgeries in the exact same spot 21 days apart!! I'm very lucky to have a trustworthy helper!!!!! I just ordered the three strains of Bodhi seeds that are available from Attitude today! Thought what the fuck, gonna become a seed hoarder and build a test room for new strains!

Hey SS Im about to do something similar to your vegger.please can you explain how to build it? I have 2 stinks veg system but I only will be able to monitor one res in the veg room with growtronix. you know their ph,tds,temp are around $500. Also what size of bulkheads do you used in your vegger?

Thanks and happy growing.

it is just 3 veg tubs wwith the standard sprayer bar setup inside each, except there is no 4th leg, it is a 90* thread to barb that points up for hose to go through lid and connect to feed manifold below valve. drains are 3/4" ebb drains connected with hose and barb. very basic, very simple. no bulkheads used. no leaks.

Hey SS, have you thought or tried using all PVC, and drilling out a collar or using a rubber grommet for the PVC to go thru on the two tops? When I get better and redo mine, that was what I was thinking about doing!

i like the flexiblity and ease of dis-assembly the combination gives me. from pump to sprayer manifold in tote there is only about 2' of hose and this is to connect pump to manifold and manifold to spray bar. i just dont like the pvc unions and the hole i drilled for the hose in the lid is exact size as hose od, so it squeezes in and seals itsself.

SS, haha.. I know I know long time... layin low..

You re gonna love what I set up bro. I hooked up an external pump with and also added an extra shut off valve with a hose adaptor along the pvc pipe for drainaige.. And I hooked up the veg system with its own chiller.
You would be proud

You confused me before with pump gph output. You see it depends the upwards length you are pumping to. Tha aquarium pumps for example are rated at 1000 gph at 30cm...

so when i went with a small external pump it was rated at 250gph, so I was confused because it was much bigger than the aquarium pumps, then I checked it rates that at a few meters..

So take in to account how high you pipes are from the pump/rez, measure the height and from their you can actually figure out the draw from your pump at that height.

For example my pipe reaches 160cm above my rez. So, a 1000gph @ 30cm aquarium pump isn't going to give that flow at my height of 160cm. It will be less.


Anways hope all is well.

SS, I also had a question.

Is there such a s thing as too many EZ sprayers for the Veg manifold. For example on each veg manifold I have 24 sprayers. I realized today that it may be an issue.. I would think it would be fine... just more water dispersion.

And then I look at the cloner and there is only 10 sprayer and its looks like there is not enough... But I guess as long as the roots get the flow, they are good.

Get at me

OG

A good way to check spray pattern is to take a piece of glass that sits on top of the tub, and you can see the pattern! It will leak, so do it out side or in the shower.....! I use 14 sprayers in all my cloners and veggers?

i use 8 sprayers per veg tote and 4 sprayers per flower rail. it make a huge difference on spray patterns. i would think you have wayyyyyyyyy toooooooooo many.

Don't get pissed, this will not be the last time you redo something one thing that I did too was to get snap on tees! I could not find them locally but here is a link!

Ok so home many am I goin gwith. I am going to use the same design except with 12( TWELVE) sprayers, so half of what i got in the pic above

Confirm guys??

great thread! thanks for sharing these photos. I am building a new hydro system and am just wondering. Do the sprayers clog often in your totes?

I dont recommend this system unless you really know your stuff. its not something to just do. its need proper planning. but if you have the time and dedication, go for it

just find some plugs or stainless screws to plug the holes of sprayers you pull out. you will have a serious lack of spray from loss of pressure with that many.
