Thanks GDW. Yes, I was talking about the six feeder hoses coming off the feeder head. Here's the question again to refresh your memory.

I'm really loving this thread GDW, I can't get enough! One thing didn't seem clear to me when reading your thread, maybe you will be getting to that soon anyway. You said that feeding would come from the top. Do you mean that all six feeder tubes will come down the pipe, cut to length so that each tube ends at it's designated wye? I take it that using just one feeder tube per pipe and letting the water run down from the very top to feed all sites wouldn't work as well? Perhaps that would overwater the top sites and underwater the bottom sites?

2 zips per site is ambitious but i like it goldy! With the correct strain and the correct additives I think you can do it though, i've seen some vertical guys pull close to 3zips a site.....pretty fuckin impressive imo.....

I was talking more about the rubber hose side but if you have pics of your pump to pvc I wouldn't mind taking a gander at those either........Sounds like you have a pretty solid plan sussed out goldy........i look forward to you enacting it. Thanks.

Hey everyone, sorry about not having a picture of the tubing. I've got family over for the week and had to pack everything up. Got a bunch of little kids running around wrecking the place, lol. I'll try to get a picture of the tubing and dripper's. All the stuff is. It's extentiong lines in 1/4" that is used for drip systems for outside gardens. This is the stuff "without" lazer drilled holes. This stuff is just like normal 1/4" hose. You cut it to length and push it over the nipple on the feeder head or monifold. Then route it the way you like up to whatever feeder site. Then you will push it over the end nipple on the dripper. I do not know how i'm going to keep the dripper's in place as of yet, but i'll work that out when i get to that part. I know, some or almost all of you. Are not going to want to hear this, but since the family is here. I'll have to hold off a few days on finishing up the unit. Plus, i'm still short that last manifold, DAMN Home Depot. Well, ask any queations and i'll try to answer them. I'll try to get some work done, but i doubt it. With the family here and all.
Thanks,
BG

Sorry everyone, been working alot. Been pulling some 12-13 hour days and been super tired. Plus, i'm dealing with some family drama right now. More a less, getting home and listening to some shit, showering, checking IC and off to bed. I am in the middle of putting a update together and splitting the thread some also. I'm going to build a smaller unit for those that have been pm'ing me about a unit that will fit in a cabinet. I'm going to build a 5 gal bucket unit with 2 tubes and 12 grow sites. Of course, you can reduce the number of grow sites to fit need. I'm also trying to redesign a manifold that evveryone can make out of PVC pipe so they don't have to worry about finding those funny looking feeder heads. I know everyone is wait, just give me alittle bit more time and it will be worth it, i promiss. Already got the pump and other goodies. Just got to finish up the other grow sites and cut the hose to lenth. I did figure out how to attach hose with drippers. Found some 4 inch stakes. Everyone will see soon enough. I will have a major update no later then Nov 8-9. I'll be on a week paid vaction, so i'll be getting stuff done around the house. If anyone has any question. Please ask away.
Take care and thanks for understanding,
BG

I like the idea of the buckets, easier to move in and out of the way. Cheaper to build as well, so we can get some more people caught on to vertical growing. Love it.

buckets dont sound bad for a smaller version...kind of curious as to how hard it would be to get in the tank with plants in....guess we'll see...
