3rd , that room is sweet !!!! first time i've seen it i think . i like your set up . summers coming & i need to start worrying about automation cuz i'm gone for a week at a time camping . was concidering my blumats but your drip system seems like it may work better for me . what size drill bit for the 1/4 hats ? i have everything else i think . great idea brother ... i might just steal yer design

edit .... couple questions if ya don't mind . do the hats where the lines go in leak at all or pop out if pressure is to much . was thinking cuz i don't run the same amount of plants all the time , that if i have to block a few off that they might leak or pop out .

Yeah unc it's funny, I measured and cut some pvc about four days ago for the legs. Not gonna work anymore, girls have grown about eight inches since then. Damn procrastination.
Speaking of which, I ran out today and bought some more rapid rooters. Thought I had some around and finally realized I did not and I have no clones of these.
I have taken clones as far as three weeks into flower so I'm not too concerned though. Will take some in the next day or two.

Well shit dans, I guess I thought you had seen the room. No? Let me give you the tour. 9x9 upstairs bedroom. Using about half at the moment,I think about 4000 watts and a mini split some day, the dream.
Here's a couple pics including the closet I plumbed with RO.







As far as the tophats go, no leaks. Gotta use some liquid soap to get the 1/4 line into them and even then it's a tight ass fit!
3/8th holes in the pvc do the trick. I'm using a 250 gph pump so I'm not too sure about higher pressure situations.
Also, not my design, all credit goes to pico.

I don't use the pvc glue however, haven't needed to yet.

WOW that room is sweet 3rd .... no haven't seen it before .

I luv the slop sink in the closet . no way i could get a 1 1/4 drain line upstairs but a couple 3/8ths lines to an RO system should work for me . the 55 gallon drum is probably what i'll use also .

This is great to hear . yeah i've seen pico's thread & was considering something like it .... yours is closer to what i need . i do 6 to 12 plants depending on strain per table . (now that i'm using the tables ) so gotta figure how to shut off unused hoses . i have some 1/4 shutoffs ... just hope they don't leak . thats my biggest worrie is leaks while i'm away with my room on the second floor .
thanx for the tour & info man

The fittings on the tubing in the closet do not leak, at all!

dans, read about a great way to plug unneeded holes. Take a piece of 1/4 inch and make a U between two tophats. Sounds easy enough to me.

So I got a little more work done today. The trellis is up and I'm just about to add a second 55 gallon food grade barrel. This way I can fill one barrel while using the other for feedings. Wouldn't be such a big deal except it takes two days for my RO to fill 50 gallons.

Tried to get a better pic at lights on this morning.



I mentioned earlier that I over vegged a little bit. Here is a KQR that is typical size. Mind you I have 13 of these on a 3x6 table.



And finally, I have buttoned up the girls with some pvc and netting. Unfortunately I won't be able to pull plant's for pics from here on out but as you can see, I had no choice.



Will still update the best I can. If I could figure out the "white balance" on my camera I could still get great shots with the lights on. If I have to I'll just get pics at lights on.
