Ok boys, the Horti Platinum has once again struck an arc in the 5x5 and we are off for my first ever vertical flower session!
I will be taking pics with the hps off in the future but for the moment you get the idea.
Couple loose ends to button up tomorrow like a fucking leaky piece of shit uniseal on my res but tomorrow will be their first day if 12 hour pitch black so let the show begin!
I can't believe these bitches have those 10 Gal Brute's packed with roots and half way down the 2" drain too :hump:

I've taken to wobbling the bit when I cut in my unis I also wrap three times with pipe thread... especially on round surfaces.

FUCK UNISEALS. I built my entire RDWC system around 1" bulkhead fittings and they work awesome, even when stepped on.

I just got a revolution micro ballast for testing, and it not only has similar low frequency square wave performance to your horti platinum unit, but it has an integrated DE fixture!

I haven't figured out how to run it vertical yet, however...

@pinner420 I forgot another huge advantage to flexible hose and bulkhead fittings; ease of refits.

I've totally reconfigured my RDWC system more times than I can count and every time it's done in less than an hour, usually without so much as cutting additional hose to length.

Try THAT with uniseals and rigid PVC!

DE lamps are "Horizontal" only.
Gonna be in the same situation as me running my Horti Blue Vertical ;)

Trust me, I like those too but they are not big enough lol
My girls have the 2" pipe half blocked with roots and I am moving a LOT of water.

Uniseals would be great going into ridig material. The problem is installing them the wall of a container that flexes all over the place. Your hole gets all egg shaped with the flexing trying to get the seal and fitting in place.

Had I found a competitively prices square tub I would have used 2" pvc bulkheads. The round containers limit your options.

It's all good, 1 little drip to fix up and this system will be super reliable and crank out some dope! :hump:

My plants are six feet tall, four feet wide and pull up to two pounds each. If they're big enough for me...

What synthetic line do you feel makes the best finished product?
It's took years to figure this. I like to mix n match, my friend owns a hydro store in LA and I've tried just about everything.
Protek
Aqua flakes
Full power
Multi zen/ bud xl
Cal mag
Vitamins
Bud blood/ bud igniter
Big bug
Kool bloom
Overdrive
Teas
That's what works best for me
And of course not all @ once

For a REAL education in plant nutrition, search for the thread titled reverse engineering everyone's nutrients.

THEY'RE ALL THE SAME.
