Setting up dtw coco 2.5x5 tent

Its got to be from the flexitank well now I feel even more foolish than I just did earlier not knowing anything about how plants use co2 more than o2. A skin reservoir? What was I thinking. Well the spouts pissed me off subject to fail immediately or later as I had a non leaking rez suddenly leak and spout broke when tightened like it gave out already and just flaked off.

Putting my grow and sanity at risk. Any little thing it sits on can puncture it even if its like idk what else happened? Look for a freakin pin hole leak? No thanks. I see people use those plastic cylinder like barrels usually for holding contaminents hazards not really meant for liquid but I prefer that if to use like 8 gallons.

Or like I just thought, divide what Im using daily and figure out how to have 4 buckets maybe craftmaster 10 gal tote filled to 6 gallons and bam no risk no nothin. Screw flexi tank I tried to be a great customer and reviewer but this is just sketch. Lucky for me its a pinhole.

Its totally from the rez and the pillar is causing weight to lean and bend the floorboard enough to make the water go that way is my guess.

Not worth it those can fail too. Maybe for my water fabric tray in tent that has a hole in it. I think 4 five gal will do I refill it every 2 days shouldnt go bad and can use bti. Built to last. 5 gal easily holds 50 pounds easy considering maxibloom comes in those as 50lb buckets. It can hold water.

I just obsessed over less work as possible but my enviorment doesnt allow yet I have to test ro water see if that can spoil and Im sure it can. Some of us just got issues lol. The danger zone in water temp or any food etc starts at 40F. This should work.

What I do have going for myself though is my needed ec range to keep plants happy just so happens to mix with my alkaline water making a perfect ph it only spikes due to bacteria when spoiled. I read from people with phds to wait an hr to let it equalize chemestry wise to then ph it but I found lately its ready to ph right away so its not even that hard to do.

Lol so that happened which wasnt all bad but then I continued to get botritus and now PM so I just tossed the tent. Problems left and right seemingly. I got the buckets about to see if I can just use 5gal buckets for each tent.

This why weed should be legal to grow your own, its not even all that. If you still feel like growing than it must really be for you lol.

New reservoir. Lol. Its not bad. One per tent this is just for now for a moms and couple flower clones going 5x a day.

To defend flexi though its a sketchy design I found a screw and plastic shard nearby. So its very easy to assume I somehow punctured it but thats just a lesson and truth to these skin reservoirs. Il keep what I have until something happens to them but ya. Just not good for rough handling must be very careful.

I will have up to 4 buckets 5 gal for each tent and one 25gal flexi runoff reservoir in the event one or all pumps stay stuck on. At most only one will do that but just ease of mind. Until I get a 15 gal drum or maybe even shit idk. 20 gal trash bin but overkill and not likely to hold it like my 25 gal flexi.

Finding sharp shit changes things but it is still sketchy. People make mistakes shit happens and these tanks aint good in that dept. If you never move them or clean them it should be good and when you do be ultra careful. I want to change the veg tent to two 5 gal buckets.

I may not even need a veg tent I may just run seed only 12 plants use my veg tent as flower. Im wondering if keeping genetics alive how I was with no regard for sanitation other than cuts with razors fresh new cleaned. Pruning with uncleaned snips can transfer shit that can ruin a flower run?

Keeping mothers bonsaid with brown and white roots eventually a pathogen or mold gets in and ruins any runs from it too? From seed each time wouldnt do that and I got this far doing so. My flower tents lack air circulation but I been getting funny issues too. Sudden cola death taking half the plant in a few days. Always rotten roots now.

I have a lot of reconstruction to do..

Bad in 24hrs or just real cloudy ph is ok but going up but whats unusual is its real cloudy ph should be 7 or so. Its been much cooler too. Gnats going out of control the bti with no clorene aint doing much right now. I tried no chlorene in lower temps it wemt bad but when I add chlorene it stays ok.

But my flower room the res just keeps clouding up woth no chlorene but was even with chlorene. About to just remove bti and use chlorene. I wonder if theres slime in the tubing and if the water can backwash into the res with rich bacteria water.

Idk looks soso

Maybe a mini split, water chiller and ro filter but then I need a good tank to hold it. The gnats might get them with panty hose tech. Just too many issues need to resolve.

I mean Im frantic just testing things out itd be crazy if these fans I got will solve my pm problem with new plants. Botritus I cam have faith on it being due to growing the fattest colas Ive ever grown, not airy but just chonkers stuffed on a cola. I never tried pruning so well that this would happen.

Anyway I can just make solution every day if that solves that then no need to be trippin. Just frantic as pm is tough but Ive seen more people get past it than not. This person that claims to keep getting it scared me a bit and just comments that it keeps coming back no matter what.

Its going soso for me so far with infected moms and a couple flowering clones minis. Will see. Also going to switch to fabric pots with panty hose as I got rootrot possibly from gnats but also maybe the super rootbound overwatered rootballs. I guess use a rubber band maybe dip the wrapped part in some advesive like whats on those sticky traps.

Holy crap almost 800 replys in thread. Again thanks everyone for the help.

Update on the new reservoirs theyre great, easy to fill just a scoop and half maxibloom and 5ml bleach each 5 gallon bucket. Got lids. About to do one oump per bucket and I guess have just 3 buckets. Filled every 2-3 days I havent been tracking. Its so easy Im not even sure how long they last exactly.

Went from 8x to 5x and now 4x a day feed to make things simpler and since it dont need more or less than that. I guess the strategy is just use it fast enough to not go bad. Since unplugging a lot of stuff its cooler also because of season so its not the best test but will see. Its easier to do so far.

Got rid of the cabinet and drain system it was gross and so weird. Real annoying to step around. I got the dresser and grow tent thats on top of it emptied to get rid of so my grow room is much more spacey. The space cabinet is gone. Its a pm hot spot anyway was real annoying trippin over stuf laying there.

Why didnt I just take a before photo lol. Had to dig and this all I got of the cabibet that used to be all up in the way. This means accessing the tent will be much nicer too.
