Do the pumps work if you plug them directly into the wall?

that blows brother, especially mid grow, i have 3 of these systems and knock on wood for a year all good, only issues was drain pumps had vaccum issues here and there, one thing i did notice was out of 3 systems, i got 1 from htg and 2 from plantlighting.com, out of the 2 from PL one of them had a different face on the timer, my 2 have a clock with hands, this other one just has 24hour times with no hands. what model do you have, because i see too many people now adays with issues and from what i have read is that CAp is having major financial issues and quality has fell thru the floor, some of the main engineers left cap and started sentinel and redesigned this unit and came up with the MEF. i have pondered what i would have to do if a controller failed and since i have all kinds of tubs and parts, i would rig up a tub linked in the same manner that the controller is for the drain back, top feed and make it recirculating for the time being. if you need more details on how to do this you can PM me, this would involve you raising your buckets and having proper fittings and drill bits

hey guys so it seems like 11 out of my 12 plants have only a few more days left before i flush. my biggest plant is not even close to ready... any ideas on how to keep a plant out of flush with the ebb and gro, could i just disconnect it from the rest? any tips would be great.

You can disconnect from main and water. I just stick a pump in a five gallon bucket and run it around 6x per day. Hook it up to your bucket at the bottom to fill and gravity will do the rest. Your buckets must be elevated. Let me know if this makes sense.
Good Luck,
Sticky

anyone looking to buy a used 12 pot system? It's about to finish it's first crop and will be ready in about 2 months, has worked perfectly. I have to move grow locations and I'm not sure that I will have the space for it in my next location. Also willing to trade for something smaller. PM me if you are in C/S, Pueblo or Denver.

hey guys just set up my new 24 site system and im doing a pre run with just water to see how it went and everything filled fine the only problem was a small leak on about 5 of the buckets it seems the water is creeping out the side of the rubber grommet has anyone else had this problem or any ideas how to fix it?

i just had the same issue, re-used hosing was to blame, little drips, i solved this by making sure the lips of the grommets were proper, pushed the connectors in more and wedged the hose on deeper

These Ebb & Gro buckets are too small!! This is a Nirvana Bubblelicious root ball from a plant that underwent 30 day veg, 10 week flower. She stood 28" high. Seems just a tad root bound?
Nutes: Advanced Sensi Grow, GH Lucas Bloom. Zone,silica and Hygrozyme were the only additives. These additives cost me $1.50 extra doing the math but you can say roots are not an issue. The camera makes them look browner plus this is 2 days after harvest. I have done other grows in this size bucket with nothing near this amount of root. I have to say Zone and Hygrozyme work!!
