I have had a little trouble regulating temp, I do got cal mag in the nutrient solution. I run my lights at night since it was a little cold out still when I started, house is old with no insulation and the tent usually reflects the outside temp when the lights off. Also I've been hitting it hard...
3in pvc. And ya I could totally slide a tee in there, reduce it down to an 1in tubing.. Thanks for the info man, seriously appreciate it. I'm am not a diy guy by any means, so this is a struggle for me but I'm enjoying the experience
That's what I had done in my original attempt, it pushes ok into the first two then kinda dies out, that's kinda what I was getting at with this thread, determining if the water volume was too much for the pump and I should go up or if maybe the flow of water is impeded by the layout
I got a inexpensive vivoson 800gph water pump, I was thinking about putting another one in the back tote closest to the tent door to kinda suck it from the other back tote and push it toward the res, but idk about having another pump that close to a root zone
At first I had some hose on it pushed into the first elbow, but it wasn't flowing that well so I took it off and tried to line the hole up with the pipe, the out and the in are the same length, there's just extra 90s in the return cuz I punched the hole in the wrong spot for the out pipe, I...
Ya that's the res. U can't tell but the bulk head placement in the back 2 totes isn't ideal, I should had pipe come out the back and then turn to come back up the other side but instead I just connected the back two totes in the middle, I'm sure flow could be better
Not far just a lot of water volume. I was trying to simplify by using the same diameter pipe all the way around I don't know if that part of this issue or not.
Using an 800gph pump but not getting the water movement I expected, thinking about a Drummond utility pump but not sure what to expect for water temp fluctuation. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I also thought about adding another of the ones I have?
