dunno I just put stuff in last night. I am using a botanicare 20 gallon res with a heavy duty trash can liner. I don't think it really matters where the pump is but I will see. I will get pics up this weekendDonk - the way your reservoir is set up, wouldn't you get sediment gathering at one side of the reservoir as it looks like your pump is right under the fence post water exit? Would the nutrients circulate or settle in corners of the reservoir?
Just thinking.

They are all good choices. White Widow is a classic that you can't go wrong with.
White Rhino has some WW genetics and is also a good choice.
Mazar may have too much Sativa in it to finish in a decent amount of time. Sativas also get really tall in my system.
Good Luck Bro!

Watch the liner dosen't get sucked around the pump. Mine did and I started wondering why less and less water was coming out.

This was in high times June of 09 some guy tells you step by step how to build it most likely the same guy that's telling you now. lol
Question for ya:
Got clones from the club and they came with roots in cubes. I picked off some of the medium so they would fit in the net pots. Been a few days in the cloner and I am wondering if I should of just cut the clones down to a stem, and then put them in the cloner.
Once my system is up and running, I wont have a problem, but for the first grow, will this be OK?

Andyman, What we really need is a list of parts to buy from say home depot or lowes and then a step by step on what wiring goes where, etc. I can't really follow your picture.
Pst. could you possibly post it up on stinks site so all us using the 5 plus timers could assemble this DIY money saver.
Thanks m8.
I plan on making the pump timer setup like you did. My ? is there a way to make something similiar to control lighting?
I am using 240V ballast and would like to not have to buy the expensive ones offered by Sentinal. So, a timer( 120V) that sends a signal to a relay, that turns on the 240V ballasts(4 600W eballasts)?

How long du u guys think I can keep them under the flourescents for instsance can I keep them under flourescents for 2 weeks till they root then to a 1000 watt to veg for 2-3 weeks ??? thats kinda my plan
1000w for veg is way overkill. get a t5 or a bunch of cfls to use for veg. save your electric bill for flower.

Donk - Thats good news. Looks like your way may be the way to go for me.
oneeyejedi - great link you found. You can use that to power the pumps too right?

Wrong! That relay setup in that link is for lights only and is a 240 volt system.
Pumps run on 120v(here in the USA anyway). So the design of the relay setup would just have to be modified to have a regular 120 volt standard extension cord in stead of the dryer plug.
You can chop up an extension cord or buy a standard 120 volt pigtail at the home improvement store of your choice. A pigtail is just a 6ft. or so plug and wire built together, and it just simply looks like a 6ft. piece of extension cord cut of the end with the prongs.
Hope this helps. I can go into it more later if anyone needs me to, but I want to make sure all of you are aware, that I think the original designer of this relay setup, is not getting the proper credit for it here. I just can't remember who it was. I'm fixing to go look.
