my 3 stages of flower

[oceangreen]

veg pumpngoes to 1" pvc manifold and reduces to 3/4" at the valves and then reduces to 1/2" at the sprayer manifold

great, and from pump to 1 inch pvc?

SS, i know I bombard you with questions, hopefully one day i will be able to return the favor.

pump outlet fitting is 1".

Looks nice.. but I would wait more then five days on the last ones for my tastes.

I miss my stink system, I don't miss the high humidity from the system though.

I don't get what you mean?

 

[oceangreen]

SO pondzyme, what are other aquarium alternatives I could use?

 

[superstoner1]

humidity? from the system? humidity comes from the plants, my system is closed.

SS, I found this stuff called stress Zyme in an aquarium store. what do you think?

http://www.apifishcare.com/products/Product.aspx?ProductID=44

read around this guy says it works

"

• 99% chance it's from the nutes, so no need to worry. If you're still freaked out, get some Stress Zyme from your local Petsmart, fish store, etc etc, it's like 3 bucks and works in place of h202 or hydrozyme - and a hell of a lot cheaper. As far as your timer is concerned, you're fine with 15 on 15 off. If you like, you could change it to 15 on 30-45 off. These guys that spend that 50-75 bucks on the 1 on 5 off timer, wasted their money. I've checked out both and there really isn't any difference in growth rates. I've included a pic of the Stress Zyme - Wally World carries the stuff too. If your roots aren't slimy, they're not rotting. Do your plants look healthy? Let's see some pics though!!
  
  
  

  • Just follow the instructions on the bottle as if you were putting it in an aquarium. It's basically the same as hydrozyme, but since it's not marketed for growing, it doesn't carry the markup that most products in our growing world do.​

nice, but you almost got me worried, i thought you came up with a new way to cool the water. all most most spit my tea out....because i just spent 5 hours building parts of the chiller system/ veg room.

Thank god I got a beast AC

 

[oceangreen]

so how come you didnt go the ac route?

 

[oceangreen]

I am also thinking running LED( got about 400 true watts) in the veg room over a 400 MH.

Thoughts?

 

[superstoner1]

just thought i would take advantage of having the cold water. it keeps flower and veg room at proper temps during nights, assists when lights are on and saves ac electric cost.

 

[oceangreen]

Im going to throw some pics up soon...

I did a bunch of things different... minor changes on the flower system, i got a bit more space than you also, so though i would use it...

should be interesting

SS,

I am getting leaks on the spray manifold. The vinyl/plastic tubing before it goes into the rail. I have them almost all the way in the fittings... did you just use tape to fix this issue?

I am going PVC for the entire spray manifold next time...

nonetheless, this was a huge pain in the ass to build...

the first stink system was a breeze compared to this..

so any thoughts on the plastic tubing leaks?

 

[superstoner1]

i dont use plastic tubing that goes into the rails, i use pvc fittings. the tubing just connects the three rails together using barbed pvc fittings. i did a full pvc manifold the first time and had two valves to allow for draining, i just decided to k.i.s.s. it on these and i disconnect the line coming from the res pump to the manifold and plug it into my drain line.

 

[oceangreen]

here she is

 

[oceangreen]

yeah I did the same things, I think you misunderstood me. I circled where i got the leaks in the fittings....

Go get some 1/2 in hose clamps

Go get some 1/2 in hose clamps

thanks,

for some reason this tubing so so rigid and hard to bend. I went with the wrong one this time.

But next time it will be all pvc....
