gotta do it man. it works out since the nutes are super concentrated only like 1ml/gallon for most of it. the cost works out to be cheaper than everything except GH

it can get messy lol its all organic 100% so the p boost especialy smells like straight SHIT. i almost puked the first time i opened it horrible. but shit works killer. it is holding its own against HG in my CMH test so we will see what final results are i just fed them thier week 3 nutes so i hit them hard to get a nice jolt out of them.

Green leaves makes a controller?

I've been pondering how to implement this controller bucket into rdwc, all I've come up with is daisy chaining 3 coolers thru the drains,I've determined its confusing as fuck but I'm thinking I'll take the drain pump and put it on a cycle timer, this pump will go in the last cooler in the chain and will pump back to the 55 gal main res and thru the chiller in some way, I'll cycle it just because I don't really need constant circulation. The fill pump will be left untouched and will be plugged into fill outlet of the control bucket. All tabs will be set to the on position. Am I headed in the right direction? So I forgot to mention, the drain cycle outlet on the control bucket won't be used.

This would be a nice feature.Would be a pretty easy mode to a CAP bucket but if its already done.... I actually was making a system that used a JBJ auto top off( a couple of float switches with brackets for mounting and a small control unit for turning on pumps, they're used in reef aquariums mainly or some shit, I had a problem with it , had something to do with the application, the support team said they never had seen that problem in the 9 years they've produced the unit, its actually pretty slick and if applied correctly .

the greentrees also has BETTER floats instead of those shitty finger things

You'd have to define "better" , the shitty little finger things work pretty damn well.

Yeah I would like to hear about the greentrees floats. I'm kind of sick of having to macgyver stuff to make the system work as intended. I'm thinking of swapping the control bucket and changing all the poorly molded raindrip fittings out. Some of the barbs on the fittings are rounded which cause water to slip by under pressure. I was going nuts double zip tying shit to make it not leak it and still would leak. Thats when I took a real close look at the fittings, probably 1/2 of the fitting in my bag were messed up.

This is why I bought a factory refurb unit. Figured they would fix all the stupid small mistakes... Time will tell.

CAP? If all you guys are interested in is a bigger bucket CAP makes the monster ebb, I've got one and it appears to work as stated although I'm having some issues with my grow I don't think its related to the functioning of the monster ebb, I changed everything in my system but the tubing thats running from the main res to the actual grow room, this is 40 foot of tubing or so and a pain in the ass to change out(it goes thru several walls), I'm not real sure but it must be something in the tubing causing my issues and I intend to kill/remove wtf ever it is.
