Nice thread T!!!
Quick question, love your setup , might do it myself, curious though, you have the buckets raised a tad, so gravity feeds back to the res correct? So when the buckets are all drained of water and back into the res, Would pressure from the res throw water back into the lines? Curious!
also to clarify, you pump water in faster then your (1/2 inch?) lines drain back into the res right? how long do you feed your girls for?
Sorry i missed this 1........
But you are correct it's gravity return.....thus the raised platform's.....
I never had trouble with the res water back filling the lines.....and ive been running this system about 6 year's or so now.......
My feed lines are a quarter of a inch......while the return lines are 1 inch.....
My plant's get feed while light's on only....so in veg they feed for 18 hour's....while in flower they feed for 12.....my pump is on the same timer as the light's......
p1ninja thank you for the kind word's....i think i must have been refering to flipping them to flower from veg.....but i do indeed rotate my netpot's while in veg....but once they start to flower i dont as they'll be all tied up .....whick i'll be doing probably this week......
Ok here's how the plant's are looking at the end of week 3.......
