Never said anything about inline pumps being better or worse.

Oh no. I just meant im trying to keep rez temps down and with limited experience can be a challenge to prime.

I still dont understand. Why are you worried about priming a pump? As long as feed pipe is low and water level is above it it should be ok. An inline pump would have to have a bulkhead installed in a wall of the res but other than that it works just the same as if it was submerged

Take your vegger for example. So i connected a pipe that runs from pump down into rez beneath water level. The output line runs up to the aero units so that the pump is between rez and veg boxes. Bc of gravity, its a challenge to start pump w water in it. Thats all. Just experimenting w it and maybe im making it difficult. Thx nonetheless.

These pumps are designed to be placed below water level. Doing that will put a shitload of stress on them.

Just want to thank everyone here again, particularly SuperStoner1 and Old Dude for all your guidance on this journey. Looking like harvest time this coming weekend. I couldn't have done this setup without all you have provided. Thanks again.
A shot of the girls a couple of days ago. They are on average about 70% cloudy and 30% clear with almost no amber.

Yeah, i guess so but was trying to avoid the bulkhead. Did u end up going submersible or like you're suggesting?

I think ive tried it all but always fall back to K.I.S.S. submersible is fine.

I will just add that if you have things set up correctly, the pump alone should not cause the temps to be too high. I am still doing a hybrid and put frozen bottles in the res once a week and have the best looking roots I have ever had!! I'm convinced that people that have problems is because of the water! Of coarse I really have no idea what I am talking about

Definitely a lot to be said about KISS! Lol

No idea!? Thats funny. I just didnt have my setup complete before and temps were hot so just being cautious.

i always go for max yields
I am vegging for six weeks now, but I have ten foot ceilings so height is not a problem for me. Just depends on strains and how big your flower room can handle!!

True true! Lol. Do have 8 ft ceiling but my pt is i want to max one run. I think in flower i could keep bending or breaking stems a lot. It sounds like many of u all do and im pretty sure SS does often.i always go for max yields
The majority would be WW, SS, and Blue Dream.

a longer cloning stage or preveg stage can really help out. Or just take some larger clones and that will cut down the veg time. If your putting in dinky little clones, then you will need a much longer veg time.

Thx George. This run would all be from seed.
