Get 633 ecoplus pump
the aqua are cheap
20 gph per sprayer. 30 sprayers 600-700.
The ecoplus are a great pump. Clean out filter every month or 2

20gph are required to get a mist out of the sprayers? I have a huge stink system that runs 60 plants in 5 pipes, not posts. I use the 396 with no problems. I use a 54 gallon rez which i fill with 40 gallons at a time. I tried the unit outside in the garage to see if the pump could handle that many sprayers. It takes about 9 seconds to get all the sprayers going but it was a mist and seemed fine. I wonder what size pump I should get to run this with out worrying about failure.

I just had the same thing happen to my batch. White to clear slime all over the roots. I don't use 'mad oxygenator' so I don't think thats the problem. I have pretty much decided the reason my batch all died was because of the slime suffocating the roots. The slime was probably caused by a warm reservoir. I have decided to buy a water chiller to see if this happens again. I have been unable to keep reservoir temps below 75 for very long.

did you use silicon to seal the end caps? it could be undercured silicon getting broken down by the water. dont ask how i f---ing know this.

This happened to my second grow using the same system. Didn't happen on the first grow but then never had to worry about reservoir temps as it was winter.

I had two batch of veg plants almost die this Summer. I had a bunch of black funky stuff growing in the water. The plants started to wilt....weird!

I found that changing the res in my veg unit once a week solved all my problems. It's a little bit of a hassle but worth it in the end.

Almost every problem you will see this time of year is related to heat issues. Summer is harsh!

I upgraded to 1000GPH because my 400GPH Active Aqua pump wasn't enough power to produce mist for my system. I had about 30 misters, and the total vertical height from pump to misters was about 1.5 feet...does that sounds right? Is my pump bad or what?
Click to expand...
That sound about right. My first aero system used a 1200GPH sump pump for 28 sites. The water would get very warm compared to the 396 I use now.

A bigger res would have helped the heat issue. A water chiller would be another option.

Hey Stink,

I just went to your site www.stinkbuddies.com and noticed that you have a lot of new members. I wonder if all of the stinkbuddies know that you just posted your new site? Keep up the great information. You have really helped me as a medical marijunia grower help more people.

Thanks for everything!

i buy the cheap misters........they are .49 cents and i dont think they are as clog free as the expensive ones so i drill them out a bit and that keeps them from clogging and i do it every use to clean them inbetween cycles
if ur using the eazy cloner red ones u dont have to .......if u have the cheapies then i would
i use 5/64 bit........
i can still run 20 off of a 396

hey guys
I finally got the cash to add co2 to my flower room. I have a large can fan and carbon filter ducted throu lights and out of room. This keeps smell down and temps down. I have a cap temp and humid controler. The fan kicks on when temps rise. So you do not run co2 during dark cycle right? How should i run fans ect to keep temps down and stink down with co2?
Thanks for all the help
Stink congrats great new suite!

This thread is a gold mine! Of course, I couldn't read all 717 pages, so a keyword search for pdf led me to the most current version. And here I was trolling through, posting the good bits into evernote!

Don't run CO2 at night. This means you can keep your vent fans on during the night cycle if you want.

I think you might be confused. I have 2- 1000W HPS and 1- 1000W MH

Most new ballasts allow you to switch between MH and HPS. I kept the MH over the new flowering girls and kept the HPS on the side of the mature girls.
