If you use square buckets the 1/8" o-rings should work. I'm thinking similar lines on larger square buckets or using a bulkhead on a cooler inner liner which should also work with pvc conduit. Especially for o-rings the seal is important and that's achieved on the male flange of the pvc conduit used for the bulkhead. Supposedly the water can work it's way thru on the female end. I'm not sure. like Snype just seal both ends. Luckily I already have the 1/4" washers too. You could try HD or Lowes for the washers or o-rings I've had some luck but get the bulk stuff online, washers from Snype's source and o-rings at amazon.Hey, I have looked everywhere for the washers and called all over the country, checked ebay,etc
I am going to pickup some 5gal square buckets. Is it possible you could recommend a different piece and give me the size of the washers i could possibly use in place of them?

Hi
First wan't to thank you for such great tutorial. I am just finishing 3 10 site systems and also building separate veg room.
What lights are you using in your VEG-A stage? I saw you use 60 w cfl for clones but over botanic trays you have fluoro's. What wattage are they?
Thank again for all knowledge you share. It's making my life so much easier.
wow snype
thanks for going thru the efffort
you are super dialed

It makes perfect sense that you are having problems with the low pH levels that you are showing. Look at your TDS from 2/6 to 2/7. That decline is not enough. You either have an imbalance of nutrients or your PPM is too high or you have a root problem. You are not able to hold your pH which is a problem. You don't want to see it below 5.8 or you will have the problems that you are having. I've seen this before. When you need more magnesium, raise the pH to around 6.0 to grab more instead of adding Cal Mag. Try this:
Dump out your whole system. There will be remaining solution inside that you can't get. When you fill the system back up with water right after you dump it, dump it again. Now fill it back up with water. You needed to get out most of the nutrients that you can. Now switch formulas. Use your RO water and don't use the Cal Mag. Instead of using Kool Bloom, use only Micro and Bloom at the rate of 1 part Micro to 2 parts Bloom. Don't add the Kool Bloom. pH the system down to 6.0. Then add 1 drop of Bleach per 2 gallons of water and you should be all s hydrotonet. Set the PPM to 850 for the first day and we will take a look tomorrow at the data. The problem with me is that after tomorrow I may not be able to get back online for a while.
