Just hooked mine up to a 30 gallon res....12 plants, I carrot in each, loop style. We shall see.We could talk about blumats. I checked them out. A 5 gallon res would be dry for me in less than 2 days with 6 plants during flower. I already handwater every 2 days so no real automation there. But I want to do a sog style in smaller pots than usual and hand watering would be annoying. I could water from the bottom in a tray I guess....
Lol I've done that a few times. My fav is when you author a post but don't actually post it. Then you post it accidently the next time you post in that thread... I do that all the time!I hate when I embed a reply in a quote. Even worse if you then post it in the wrong thread...
Oh snap...I wondered what the pipette was for. Directions are a bit lacking...I had to watch a few YouTube videos, but none mentioned this...Hopefully using the loop and drawing the air out through the end drain worked...It was actually kind of fun to set up.Before you assemble, stick a pipet or syringe in the cap and suck the bubbles out. I can still see a few.
That's inside the carrot so there's no physical way to purge air through the feed lines. You'll know in a day or two if you have air in them.Oh snap...I wondered what the pipette was for.

Now if my room is flooded tomorrow, I won't think so.
Filling that res seems like a pain. Unless you have a hose available, which I do not.Just hooked mine up to a 30 gallon res....12 plants, I carrot in each, loop style. We shall see.

Yes it was, and I will use a hose in the future...I only filled it half way today for the test run....Filling that res seems like a pain. Unless you have a hose available, which I do not.
I thought you used Celsius up there ehYou need a submersible pump. My res is just over 5.5 feet up and I can fill it in about five minutes with one.

I'm standard ambidextrous I actually prefer the fahrenheit scale for gardening. Smaller increments.I thought you used Celsius up there eh
Yup, I run all my nutrients (Flora trio and calmag) through the blumats. Silica did cause problems for me so I don't add that to the reservoir.Yes it was, and I will use a hose in the future...I only filled it half way today for the test run....
Yep, as LG said, a submersible pump.
I was going to hook up direct to my RO tank but wanted to be able to add Epsom salt and possibly liquid fertilizer.
LG, have you run anything besides water through yours?
Rode hard and put away wet.I Have a few pumps View attachment 5106232
Gnarly old tote. Everything's gunked up with nutrient salts..
My withdrawal from hydro was.....abrupt. I should really deal with that stuff though.Rode hard and put away wet.
Me too! Best growing decision I ever made. I threw all my gear into the garbage, wish I could have sold it.My withdrawal from hydro was.....abrupt.
I have a junk man who will take anything with an electrical cord. I just feel so naked rolling up on my bike loaded with this obvious stuff with no good explanation!! I have 6 hid ballasts taking up space too. I cut up all my light hoods with a Sawzall and put them in the trash bit by bit.Me too! Best growing decision I ever made. I threw all my gear into the garbage, wish I could have sold it.
