hi mate I'm using the topspin dripper kit mate can't fault em if the lines dont reach al add longer lines but an easy setup could be made with the autopot 16mm to 4mm fittings they have two 4mm outlets each just daisy chain them with an end stop at the end

peace

ahh, forgot you had the topspins already. their defo a quality piece of kit. think i may go for a topspin dripper kit myself as i need a new pump aswell, so those will be perfect.

i read on that burn's fella's thread, he said he puts a breathe hole in the dripper line running from the res. just wondering if you do the same?

if you buy the full kit mate from pg you will have one come with the kit you t it off just above your res max waterline

if your water line is lower than the dripper outlet you should be fine without one this is how mine was setup but im gonna be using a waterbutt this time so i will put the anti syphon valve on

Hi mate all sounds spot on, glad to see ya back in action again. How often will ya be feeding? I can recommend drip clean 100% mate, I've been using it for about a year now and it really does work, all the fellas on the vert forum use & swear by it. Even the drain holes in the pots have zero salt residue when using it.

Looking forward to the grow.

On this one mate! Best of luck for it, I reckon you'll smash it.

3 x feeds per day up to end of flower stretch and 5 x per day after stretch into swellage mode is what I do for coco, highly recommend it mate.

well im back and its time to try out rockwool slabs and drippers

ive been following a few threads with this method and i like what i see also im going to gain alot of headroom with rookwool compared to airpots on rta stands

this will be a trial run using kalishnapple and agent orange 12 plants with 3 plants per slab 6 per light,if all goes well i will stick with the method then killerqueen and psycho d will be run next if im happy with the results i will run 9 casey jones truecannabliss on rockwool slabs too

i will be using plant magic hydro hardwater nutes ive started using it and its abitweak but its very stable other nutes will be cannazyme and plantmagic bloom boost

thanks for watching

any criticism questions or tips are more than welcome

peace:tiphat:

Sup RIL,

Your gonna love the rw slabs mate. Nice way to grow when run to waste. As others have said salt build up is an issue on the slabs, good amount of feed going in with ample run off will help alongside drip clean.

I've been thinking about going back to coco slabs as they can be re-used 3-4 times if cannazyme used alongside not allowing salt to build up in them. From the people I've spoken to about rw vs coco I'm getting positive responses for coco due being able to re-use slabs and only having to deal with stems, and 3" rockwool cubes come disposal time.

Still weighing up the benefits in my head before getting back behind the wheel :D

I'm in for this one! I think the strains you've chosen will do very well on this system, be prepared to get the netting up early though as growth is pretty quick even with some cheese, I'd expect it to be fookin rapid with the 2 strains your using.

Looking forward to some stellar results bro :)

I'm all outta rep mate but everything is looking primed and ready to grow the plants are looking great, not a deficient leaf among them, what PH are you feeding them at? I could have done with RW for my Sativa tent, I'm running out of head room.

What height are you putting them into flower at? What EC are you feeding at?

Best of luck on the seeds bro, who made them?

Great to see ya back at it.
