Here is a foookin top tip from an old timer lads... if you mix perlite or pebbles in yer coco pops get yourself one of these bad boys from Wickes for £8 it makes light work if your doing a few bags and I use it in my big reservoir to mix the nuts... on a more serious note the wife says "don't you think your a bit old to be goosing about on chat rooms Lammy... oh and get a new picture thats for a young gun!" the cheeky slaaarrggg she's got her face constantly tucked in the Facemuck every night!!!

Hi man, I'm looking for a bit of info on Alien systems. Which one you got? Had it long? Any pro's, cons, issues you don't mind sharing would be appreciated big time. I'm a noob and looking at either the 8 pot XL F+D, the 8 pot RDWC or the 8 pot XL RDWC (Would love a pro system, but waaay too much cash for me as I don't yet know my arse from my elbow). Bit worried that I'll fuck up RDWC as a noob, but they're telling me flood and drain (what I originally fancied) is high risk in a power cut. Not lived in the UK lately, but don't remember getting many power cuts!!!! Do you reckon F+D would need a chiller too? I see how important it must be with RDWC as the roots are submerged 24/7, just not sure about how necessary it would be in F+D.

Sorry to pounce on you with all these Q's. Hope you don't mind. (fucking noobs huh!) :???:

Got the 12 pot f&d system , running about 2 weeks now. Pipes r a cunt to straighten out when puting together, put em in hot water for 30 secs or so , to soften em up abit. Soon as u got roots in yer pebbles , flood every half hr, I am , and there growing like nowt I've seen b4 !, I'm using full house & garden range & so far I'm impressed.

Thanks a lot for the info!!! More questions (ungrateful fucker I am eh!)

That's every 30 mins during lights on right? R U running it in a tent - what size (and res' inside or out?)? U using a chiller? (or planning to after winter?) Is it graft to empty the system? I'd have thought it a lot easier than DWC, as you only need to empty the main res' and the control bucket, as opposed to all the sites. No pump needed, nothing (in theory). I'm assuming there's a valve at the bottom of the big tank to empty it????

There is a vale on the bottom of the tank that comes with the system , but I use a wheelie bin instead, thought the original one was abit flimsy .im in a big shed , 240 ltr res. aquarium heater in res, set at 68,it's cool in there & the res is not in flower room , so no need for chiller, just heater in winter.i just used a clean bucket to empty most of it, then used my wet/dry vac to suck out rest, h&g aqua flakes nutes leave the res sparkling clean, just the amino treatment & root exelurator turns it brown. Phew
