the t5 with blue actinic tubes runs hot as fuck though. I like how it looks in there with those tubes though and know the spectrum is right , I got a couple 10000k tubes coming tuesday, taking forever to get them for some reason. they'll round out my t5 and I'll run a 150 watt welthink wex 150,its got a little of every color in it and is impressive for a 150 watt led.

[dbkick]

give or take a few watts due to burnt out shit.not actual watts of course.

what about pests in a system like this? I've taken the time to half assed seal my buckets up in an attempt to keep anything out. was that a waste of time or what?

I have a xan/cider induced question about these systems. it may end up a ignorant question but I hope not. ideally we run these systems with two lines right? one to flood one to drain, can these type of systems be setup so that only one line is used? I mean it's just a matter of pumping through a pump that isn't on right?

really?I'd think syphoning would be the only problem and we all know how to fix that.

Yes you can but and this is a big but. Let's say something finds it's way into the line. And blocks it. You run the risk of burning up 2 pumps. And don't say nothing will get in. Anyone that has ever worked with hydroton knows you find that shit everywhere and in places it should never of gotten. Don't ask me how but it dose. So having 2 lines leaves 1 end open to let anything flow threw and later clean out.

the reason I'm on this is because I have two 25 foot runs (one drain and one fill), I don't want to run more tubing because its a pain in my ass, I would however like to run two different 3 bucket systems in the same flower room though, the res would both be 25 foot away in another room. there does seem to be more room for failure and maybe I should just keep one res in the flower room to run one 3 bucket system and then use both the existing tubing to run the other 3-6 buckets from the res outside the room.

 

[Warlock1369]

Are you thinking different stages in flowerroom or all the same? If all the same you can just use 3 different brains on 1 res. If different stages you will need 3 res. But I don't realy see a way around the extra hose. I have my res out of the flower room and also have 20' of hose to deal with.

yeah mine goes under stairs and thru at least two walls, very little incentive to run another 120 dollars worth of tubing. different stages yes.

 

[Warlock1369]

Have you though of PVC pipe? If it's the main lines water do not stay in them like the feed tubes. So build up is not realy there. And if prity cheep. In any way it sounds like you got some work ahead. I'm heading off to bed. But I bet ill dream of something.

Currently have a mom started and im planning on running a 3x3 ebb flow system, As for vegging would you recommend zero veg and more plants or 1-2 week veg and fewer plants. What are the real differences between the two and is it really worth filling up the tray to the brim or not.

If numbers isnt a issue i would go sog zero veg!
