I guess the newer setup comes with a little air valve that you install on the return hose that prevents back flow, so I skipped the check valve. Will see how that goes.. I've been using a couple small aquarium airstones in my current setup (auto pots) along with a shot of pool shock and it seems to be working pretty good as far as keeping the shit from growing in the resevoir.
Hey Beard, how does your garden grow? heres a pic of mine i just flipped a couple days ago. Until then, i was only flooding 2x light cycle. They seemed to be ok. I added one more cycle when i went to flower as i dont want to over-feed and still trying to read the plants to see how they respond... How many times are you flooding for flower.? they grow so quick in this thing!
I was running 7 cycles and just switched to 9 when I flipped a few days ago. I've never seen anything grow this fast, ever. Not even the weeds in my hillbilly neighbors yard. These are 3 weeks old out of the cloner, had to flip a few days ago and supercropped just now. Growing like 2 inches a day, they're outta control lol!!
I hear ya, I haven't used one yet. I thought tomato cages would suffice but at this rate I may have to put one up
The controller for my lights tells me temp but not humidity. Honestly I haven't given it any thought cause my plants look like they're on steroids.
Good idea if you're not using the drain. I use it for a quick res change, just hook up a garden hose and let er rip
for the price its hard to beat a husky trash can.
Goin good man, better then good Id say.. Nothing wrong with the resevoir that comes with the kit, I use their 60 gallon but did some mods. If I got the energy I'll take some pics later
I've just seen a bunch of people mention leaks from the res. I got the 25 gal res, is yours the collapsible one too?
Yepper collapsable 60 gallon. No leaks here. I modded the top fittings to be functional as opposed to running the hoses through the main opening. IMO that was a pretty dumb design having to zip up to the hoses, never having a good seal
