here is the 50gal, 3 rail, 12 site system. i have 3 of these and harvest 1 every 3 weeks. when completely assembled the manifold is secured and leak proof, just so no one points that out. this system has had 11-12 harvests and never replaced a part or had a leak. i just noticed in the pics the center rail and the rail on the right should be switched and the stagger pattern is more identifiable.

in terms of the spray manifold, talk me a bit more about what you did to drill the holes in the end caps and wat part you used to connect the out side to the inside.. how were you able to figure out the exact location to make the hole on the endcap??

i used a combination on those manifolds. the end covers are made from a piece of the fence post, the barbed connectors are from landscape irrigation section at lowes, and used the grey plumbing fixtures on inside of cap(1/2" thread to slip). barb fitting screws through cap into grey fiiting, sprayer rails slips into grey fitting inside. main reason i used 2 offset 45* elbows is to let me have adjustments to get sprayer bar to corner.

im thinking of running my manifolds up the outside of the tube with 19mm tubes with nipples and 6mm spaghetti tubing with the spray nozzle on the end. so the 6" tube will only have net pots in it n thats it

k.i.s.s. this system works great and a lot of people have done the spagetti lines with no different results except for problems.

SS for the the support rail system for the posts ( flowering system) are you using 3/4 PVC or 1" PVC?

Also in the 2 Inch drain pipe, How did you cut rectangles in the pipe and made sure they fit well??

3/4" for frame. dremel tool, gotta love it. assemble the frame and put rails on, assemble the drain and sit in drain hole. slide rails to where bottom edge contacts drain and mark. use a long straight edge and extend it along drain so all holes are even on bottem cut. then cut up and over to complete, may have to test fit a little. leave enough room on top cut for rail end piece(manifold) slides down in a little. on the bottom of rails i cut and bent a drip edge to prevent drops walking back up the rail and to lock rail into drain.

Thank you SS and oceangreen, sorry I just came back to site (stopped growing for a awhile) also to find all this drama with SB. I too have the old SB system, and didn't know if you young guns where using shorter flowering times.SS do you have your mod's posted here? If it s not free I will pay you, but times are really bad now have no choice but to start grow again to feed my family. SS Thank you again for all your help and time involved.

SS BTW, I ask only because my funds are limited to get everything back up and running and I can't afford wasted time and money. I will be supplying my local dispensary with my product. From what I've read of your post here( and there are many), you have spent a lot time and effort in perfecting and improving SB's system making it your own. I don't have time to work the bugs out of the old system(only two grows with SB's), I sold everything I had, and have to start over. (a cop moved in next door and my wife freaked out) I've got your Nut's chart Good info. I'm sorry if it's already posted and I can't find it.Thank you

Broke, Beatin down but not dead yet.

How long are the PVC 3/4 going across?

Can you show a pic of the spray manifold elbows out of the posts?..

In your pics they are lw without the end caps, and th on the pic with the end cap attached they much higher...

Also do you glue the end caps on.? If so how do you take the sprayer manifold out in the future?
