Everyone's busy with DIY lol @Leeski i love the wheels they'll make life easier.
@jondamon looks ideal mate very professional, building your own you've got a solid build with reliability.
I've been making a few tweaks to my own feeding system I've decided I need a more powerful pump to cover all the sites, once I get back to normal I'm going to make a few other changes to aid convenience.
I've also re wired my environment controller using wagos it looks a bit tidier, when I first looked at it I wondered htf did I ever work this out, with connecting blocks it looked much worse.
But once broken down into individual circuits it's really straightforward.
It's switches between speeds/temperature settings for day and night so it doesn't run away with the heat at night, it also switches on/off dehumidifier/heater whatever.
I wouldn't know how to make a circuit diagram but I could assist with pictures and/or drawings if anyone wants to make one.
I'm using a variac and sometimes 2 but plug in dimmers would also work.

Been a busy little bee tonight adding the delivery ring and mocking up the delivery to the pots using the tray that I fitted the bulkhead into.
13mm Ridged LDPE pipe for the rectangular ring
4x13mm ID elbows
1x13mm ID Tee
4x4mm ID Tee
4x4mm ID pipe for delivery to plants
4x4mm ID valves
4x4mm ID Barbed adaptors for 4mm into 13mm connection.
11x13mm ID ratchet clamps.
It’s very satisfying I find tinkering with delivery systems like this.
the measuring, the straightening of the LDPE pipe (hair drier or boiling water!), the cutting and connecting. I find it very therapeutic lol. Sad I know lol.

Got it in a sale at Harvey’s lol. EX display model.
think I paid about £350 for the lot including the 6 chairs and had a mate with a van for collection.

almost ready to pot up and get the plants into the system Now.
you may or may not be able to see but I have also added the quick release filter into the line coming from the res just in front of the red shut off valve.
this is for quick disconnect for cleaning the Res.
Last time I had no easy way to quick disconnect the res to be able to clean it down etc.
This time that’s been changed.

Yesterday I cropped some re vegging plants back to the wood and ditched some clones/plants etc basically I gave my clone tent a general tidying out ready for more new clones.
As much as I don't need them in any way it still doesn't feel right putting a plant in the bin lol i can't help it.
Spare clones.
As I left it.
My flowering tent which I'll be cloning each pheno soon.
Thing's are going like clockwork.

For pots is short and wide best or taller and narrow best?
I would expect it doesn't matter but idk, what do you think?
I found these 3ltr air pots they're short and wide which suits my application in a clone tent, I've put a 1ltr next to them for reference.
I paid £20 for 10 delivered they're a bit lighter the originals but still indestructible in normal use.
