turface is number one! turface.com has a dealer locator. my second choice would be the 8822.
turface mvp has the correct particle size and distribution.
i have never sprouted an auto. i would like a high cbd one right now though. i want it to get huge in 30 days and then chop itself down and dry itself. it must be an auto trimmer too!
seriously, i think about the best you can do is to use a smaller container like the first ones pictured in this thread. put hardened, fast growing established plants in, and veg the minimum amount of time. turn the room over as often as possible per year.
Damn if I could sprout a auto I would get a f150.
Think I'll stick w/ autos, thanks. In my experience I get an extra 50% yield for the same grow time (or less).
Hey What prices are you all paying for turface ???? did i get a good deal 100 pounds of turface for 41.00 Canadian
here is the email i got best thing is its close
Yes we do have Turface in stock. The price is 20.50 per 50lbs bag. You can reach me by phone

i paid $12/bag for the last 7 bags of MVP the guy had.. I washed 3 bags for the 4 plants in 2 gallon buckets, no screening, the other 4 bags may never get used. I'd pay the $20/bag.
D9,
I noticed you were trying to configure a multipoint wave/pulse system that saturates the medium evenly in these wide tuff stuff tubs. Whats your take, on running a "Octa Bubbler" (Jain or Pepco) from the 1/2" ball valves to "CFd 360 downsprayers" on shortened stakes? Ive noticed more and more production type facilities using this type of system in coco/soil beds. The octa bubblers can be sourced from multiple places online, and the CFd downsprayers from dripdepot.com.

Hey I've been mucking about online looking at different mediums for PPKs and I came across a medium called Isolite CG , it's made from diamaceous Earth ( I m sure I spelled that wrong) I don't want to list all the properties of the stuff but if anyone is very high and very bored google it . It does seem to be a terrible pain in the ass to get ahold of though
i looked this stuff up and it is very close to what i'm thinking about. i've been looking at "rainbird" gear though as there is a store that stocks it close by.
it's usable but won't outperform turface. the cg-2 2mm size is the one with good particle size.
there should be nothing wrong with it
Hey D9 out of curiosity was thinking how everyone here is pulsing from top down and trying to get it even spread ??? through out whole system
why don't you come up with a idea of pulsing bottom up thru wick system something like water gets pumped into lower buckets pulsed 2 times then on timer gets sent to main holding tank being possibly bubbled or agitated ( remixed ) then re sent back to lower buckets
i realize that a person now needs a air tight container top and bottom but this will also help with the hydro-static pressure ( Head ) so that all modules maintain perfect pulsed interval rather the ones closest to pump pulsing quicker then the ones 50 feet away that is lacking full proper pulse

When your valves are set properly, all the buckets fill up evenly and at the exact same time regardless of distance from the pump. Your idea is pretty good, just a tad complicated.

I think I got a touch of bacteria in my ppk that caused some ph havoc for a bit. I have been dosing a strong h2o2 and I think I am good now.
hey doc! i've thought of this and it presents a lot of engineering problems that drive up expense plus it just doesn't scale up well.
as "fishinutt" mentions above you can precision dial water delivery at each site with the valves.
a group of us have been experimenting with the "saturation" or full flood pulse for a while since "imaginary friend" came up with the idea but have come to the conclusion that you can grow just as heavy with a properly applied "wave" type pulsed irrigation.
the wave type pulse is easier to achieve mechanically as the rooms get larger.
i started with the multiple point wave pulse originally and am working on an improved one now.
i like that you are thinking about engineering now. you are on the right path.
hey! a little h2o2 in the res won't hurt but you can over do it.
a friend here is using sm-90 in his ppk res. seems to be harmless and his plants look great.

I do have some SM90 as well, I will give it a go too. Thanks for the rec, I love the way that stuff smells. Probably be a good water wetter too.
