It also mixes the nutrients,and reduce back pressure on the pump.Also a place to hook a hose to drain res if needed.

Ordered one of these for that T section you mentioned on the supply up in the tote.

You mean you haven't already

A big rusty fkr, the extra iron increases bud weight, flavour and terpenes.... Or so I read :bigjoint:

After the first night using V2.0 I have runoff to collect later in my sink catch bowl lol.

checked earlier lol. Was worried I would have too much runoff but I think I’ll be adjusting slightly tonight.

I will be topping up my res tonight to reduce the 0.8 down to about 0.4-0.6 with just some Epsom salts (small pinch) dissolved into the mix prior to filling.

The this will just be topped up until finish.

personally I like a little fade on my plants and it helps to reduce how much nutrients I’m using towards the end lol.

Ps I don’t flush lol.

The valve line goes to plants,your valve will need some extra elbows.
So the straight through part is pump one end, going to plants other end.Then valve .The elbow part of the T is flow back into res.The idea is to be able to adjust pressure to the plants.

For 100% control youd want valves on both plant and flow by lines.

myke · Jul 24, 2021

2 inline valves and some short pieces of hose.

That’s much better cheers.
I’ll order another inline 13mm valve.

jondamon · Jul 24, 2021

@myke additional flow valve ordered for the supply to plants.

I’ll add the one in the post above as you’ve described allowing the flow to exit back into the res using an elbow etc.

then this on the supply to the plants.

jondamon · Jul 24, 2021

@myke excuse the crude iphone overwriting lol.

this is what you’re describing right?

myke · Jul 24, 2021

Correct .

myke said:
Correct .

Finally we got there lol.

jondamon · Jul 24, 2021

myke said:
Correct .

In all fairness your drawing summed it up perfectly and it incorporates the additional I’ve bought lol.

jondamon · Jul 24, 2021

Once it’s all fitted and working I’ll begin ordering spare parts to keep on the shelf because you never know when you might need to replace a piece.

You could cut a notch in the corner of lid so you can remove it with out disturbing the piping.

jondamon · Jul 24, 2021

myke said:

Out of curiosity.

How do I balance?

T valve closed to begin with

Open supply valve

Reduce supply valve until flow is creating enough pressure

Then open T valve until pressure drops and then up the supply flow?

Piping is all connected and the pump is free within the res so when you lift the lid the pump lifts too.

Yeah thats annoying,notch in corner so you can lift lid while pump is running.
