One of the reasons I want to place the pressurized center pipe there is because it will be out of the way when larfing or lollipoping the plants. Another reason would be in case of a leak, the tray will catch it. They’re 5 inches deep.
The pressure to each pot will be equal unless the main line down the middle is undersized.
That's why I was thinking of going bigger on the feed pipe. Maybe more like 2 inch Sch 40. I'd drill the threaded nipples to the very bottom to make sure the pipe drains all the way out. I was looking at brass nipples, but then read about the possibility of it leaving trace heavy metals in the soil. ... and I can't have that. If you test hot for heavy metals, you're fooked. You can't do anything with it.
Interesting, have you used them? I had some white mold around the stem of one plant so I wonder about constant high humidity under the cone/dome? Fwiw, that mold disappeared after I did some defoliation and increased airflow etc.
I tested it with my Growteck rings, didn't see an issue. If one side is 1" higher, it's a .04 PSI difference.
I'd think the 1 inch pipe is ok, but it depends on the flow rate. I could see other issues though like rigitity etc.
I was thinking about this the other day. I don't think being level was the issue. It was how they left a dry outer area. I ended up making my own with multiple rings that worked alright.
No, haven't used them yet, saw GREENGENES using them on YouTube.
Those are what BK uses. I switched to rockwool slabs for my next grow and was thinking about sitting two of the 6" rings on each slab. I'm following their IG page and saw that they have a topper for rockwool cubes coming out, but I don't really like watering slabs through the cubes. A combination of each would be pretty cool.
Yup. Terrible design with most of the floraflex stuff imo. The growtek rings kick ass out of everything I’ve tried over the years.
I put them on early so I don’t have to muck about when they head into the flower room
It must be difficult to get much more convenient with such a good coverage they're top class.
I would most definitely help you out and ship them to you? It’s would be even easier and cheaper for someone in the states to do it since that’s where they are based.It must be difficult to get much more convenient with such a good coverage they're top class.
Unfortunately they don't ship to the UK
I would be mighty grateful if you could help me out on this.
They are coming out of one that has more sites, so you may want to wait.
I guess they released it already. It's just the brain part, and you still have to buy the pumps.
I think he just wants the drip rings? Yeah I have the newest one that does 20 sites
