My new design is way more efficient. I use the same design now but I use a cooler instead of a strong box. Coolers don't need any sealer to keep from leaking.

with the pump on one side now, does the pump act as like the end leg? The old design has the pump in the middle with a stand on each side.My new design is way more efficient. I use the same design now but I use a cooler instead of a strong box. Coolers don't need any sealer to keep from leaking.

Stink what cooler do you use? Because that would definetly keep the water temps cooler. Person likes me keeps putting frozen 2 liter bottles in the resovoir to keep the water cool. Also how's drilling 2" holes in a cooler?My new design is way more efficient. I use the same design now but I use a cooler instead of a strong box. Coolers don't need any sealer to keep from leaking.

Oh nice! I guess the updated plans were buried somewhere in the 500+ pages of this thread? =PMy new design is way more efficient. I use the same design now but I use a cooler instead of a strong box. Coolers don't need any sealer to keep from leaking.

Welcome back @StinkBud ! Have you tried stacking a strongbox as a root chamber on a cooler as a res? I was considering trying something like that. I have increased my veg time to increase my yield, so I still need a double stack unit to keep my roots from constantly soaking in the res.My new design is way more efficient. I use the same design now but I use a cooler instead of a strong box. Coolers don't need any sealer to keep from leaking.

I have been germinating in rapid rooters and establishing roots before moving. I did notice that EZClone sells coco sprouters that are a lot smaller.

@questiondj42 so once you have roots you move it out of the rapid rooter and into neoprene?

Nah, I leave it in the rapid rooter. I've had bad luck trying to get established sprouts out of a rooter.

Hey y'all don't forget to always double check to make sure your timer is plugged in. I was swapping out frozen water bottles and I forgot to plug it back in. 12 hours later

how did you hook up your pumps? All on 1 timer?

Yes! Veg and cloner pumps on one cycle timer (Titan)

And then flower on its own? Then you also run 3 separate timers for lights? Which model timer allows you to plug in multiple units? Or do you plug all the pumps into something like the Apollo 14 outlet and then plug that outlet into the timer?

I run a perpetual with 3x600's. And a extra 600 is to run miscellaneous. My cloner and veg is the stinkbud way and flower is ran 12 girls under my 600 topped and lollipop. I run one timer for all 4 lights because I run 2x600's during the day and 2x600's at night. I forgot the exact model of my Apollo timer but I'll find out tonight for you.

Thanks. Just figuring out my wiring for my setup. 3 separate tents (clone, veg, and flower) with the corresponding pumps, fans, timers etc...The cloner will have a pump with a small 125w light, veg will have a pump with a 325w T5, and the flower probably 2 pumps with 2 LED lights probably ~800w total. I'm trying to figure out how to wire all these different tents.

@sky rocket How many pumps do you run? I fried a few timers by running more than 2 pumps on them. I use a relay/contactor hub so that the load is put on the relay instead of the timers and now my timers never fail. Just wondering about your experience with it. I was acutally just writing about this on my thread.
