Thanks for the shout out my friend. I might make one suggestion, you should get rid of the clear tubing, mainly the out put hose because it will retain water in it and you run the risk of algae forming the the hose, the suction should drain back out but I would change it also.So I guess it's time for a garden update:Well, being tied up super busy with home projects and getting hit with root aphids the garden had been suffering the past few crops.
So I had to take step back and reassess the program.
It seems that the OG based genetics are in the highest demand and can be a bitch to grow and get good yields but those are where I need to steer the garden.
I tried them in the vert orientation and the stretch is just waaayyy too much to deal with, so I have layed the garden back down horizontal again for now and am working more on canopy management aspects.
I have also returned to the media I began my cannabis growing journey with, coco.
Gotta give some shout outs here -
@hybridway2 for giving me the courage to lay down trellis in my space where it is hard to have access (gonna be tough but I can see the benefit already)
@Prawn Connery for turning me onto the CX nutrients. Still some fine tuning to do and haven't pulled down a harvest with them yet but the plants have taken a 180 health wise, and these are OG's!
@gr865 I have stolen many of your ideas for your coco feed system after seeing what a solid success you are having in the root zone area.
Now for a few pics, watering system just set up tonight and not finalized but this is gonna make things such a breeze
These girls are still in week 1 since flip and I am all set for a second layer of trellis when the time comes
Definitely on the "to do list"Thanks for the shout out my friend.

Good luck buddy!

I am not sure, never measured them, I am not using them on this grow. Was not enough gpm/gph to run 24 of those, pressure was fine but just not enough water. I love the way they work and wish I could use them on this grow.Definitely on the "to do list"
Just set up with what I had on hand for testing purposes.
Question, does 16 oz per minute sound about the same as what your able to get out of those bubbler stakes?
I went with the filter that has the built in 25lb regulator as the stakes definitely aren'y rated for full pump pressure
Thnx, but I have a feeling this ain't your first rodeo. Lol!So I guess it's time for a garden update:

It's all about the oxygen.I will drop this info here since I think you may find it helpful. Keep in mind I am a DWC / water hydro lover for over a decade with many many plant species and I have went to perlite as media.
These are typical DWC root zones at harvest..

This is a root mass from top drip on Hydroton..

Now this is a root system from a harvested Perlite plant...

Now you tell me which looks like the healthier root environment??
I do also like coco too but not at this location. Dry out time between watering was just too long even with a healthy portion of perlite incorporated
That's beautiful.
nice bamboo bro hehehe
