You got it right bro. You just need another side just like that one but only one inch higher.
The high side goes on the back causing the water to drain into the res.
I may have fucked up on the parts lists. My mom made me smoke pot before I did it!
You need to create the big "H" and connect the two sides together with it.
The long pieces are the plant supports.
The fist one is always the hardest. After you put together the first system you can build and set up a new one in a few hours.

That plan looks really nice Lion! Are you using a larger res? I mean is it wider?
Make sure and post some photos after you build it bro! I can't wait to see it in action.

I thought these pics might keep everyone motivated!
Check out my bathroom! The harvest is drying now.
From left to right: Elvy, Skunk, AK47, Blueberry, Bubblegum and Goo. Yikes!
I'm letting them hang to dry this time. Why? I went snowboarding instead
Remember my little 6 hole experiment? How is it looking to you? Do you think the experiment is a success?
The light is my very first light! It's a 1000W MH I bought for $225 15 years ago. I can't even imagine how many crops it's produced over the years. I can safely say it's paid for itself. Notice how the buds are growing fine under a MH? No CO2 either.
It just goes to show you how easy it is to build a small system with just one light for both veg and flower.

Until someone who knows from experience comes along I can take a little stab at this. Sorry if I over explain things you already know, but just starting at zero so everyone can follow.
To start with you should know that TDS is the amount of dissolved salts in a solution. This is measured by passing current through the solution and measuring the conductivity of the liquid. This real, measurable number is EC (electrical conductivity). EC is then converted into an estimated ppm number by your TDS meter based on the EC. Because ppms are just a guess, different manufacturers use differant ways to convert EC to ppms.
What your meter is showing you are two different ways to convert the EC into ppms. Some meters automatically use one and others use the other. My suggestion would be to start using the 1 EC = 700 ppms as this will give you a lighter nute load and if you don't see any nute burn then start using the 500 scale to try and maximize the amount of nutes you are giving.
Hope that helps.

Stink, do you dry your buds in the light? I always thought light deteriated the buds and that your supposed to dry in a cool dark place.

Usually my bathroom is dark!
My mother in law is staying with us so I can't hang them anywhere else.
And to be honest with you I don't notice any difference. I've read that UV breaks down THC but I can't imagine that much UV is coming out of my MH light.
I wonder if anyone has actually has done a scientific study to find out if this is for real or just another myth.
I know you don't want to dry your buds in the Sun but I wonder if people just assumed it was the same for drying indoors.
They may have assumed it was the light that made the buds less potent but actually is was the UV rays.

your mh does make uv rays. not as much as the sun but a lot. they put out such a wide array of colors of the light spectrum.

Thats a beautiful harvest as usual Stink. Your in Cali right? Do you have many places to snowboard out there? I don't even have any snow here to ride. I hope to make it up to New York in February to get a weekend of boarding in.

Maybe i can contribute something that i learned today. How about placing a very small submersible pump to stir up the res every time the pump kicks on. Maybe just lay it on is side and let er rip. Good Idea or a waste of time???

As long as it doesnt add too much heat
I dont see as it would really help. it would be better to run when the pumps not running probly
