hey mate ! put this one too on sticky!!

Just starting 3rd run with the same coco set, when the last ones are cutted sometime around next week. I need to increase my fan power (300m3/h) to 400-500m3/h, damn winter. I counted on winter to keep my closet a bit more cooler and that didn't work out.

Go go coco!

bassbaba - have u tried to have the lights on during night time? it usuallyworks very well to keeps temps low

what size pump is good for a 4 tray setup? with 3-4 slabs per tray.?
is 4 slabs a tray ok? or is it too crowded?

im counting on using 44 drippers - is that overkill on 3 slabs a tray?

what size rez should i use

peace

how big are the trays?

also how big do you want your plants to get? will this be for indoors or for the green house?

anyway i will check what it says on my pump next time i'm there. i know that with those 1/2 bar sump pumps you can run 160 drippers no problems anything larger needs one of those bigger pump that have 4 bar of pressure. anyway i'll take a reading from the pump as a few are asking this same question.

this is for indoors- the trays are realy one 1x2 meter and 2 1x0,7 meter

im not going to veg the plants a lot at all - im going to keep them quite small.

at the hydro store they recomended me a 2100 liter/hour pump but i odnt know if it will be enough for the drippers. i plan on 4 drippers per slab?

any pics of how ur tubes are ? the setup how it goes from the pump to the drippers? i e - how do u solve it

peace and thanks

Gaius, I am thinking about picking up two of these drip sets, https://www.dripirrigation.com/drip_i...products_id=34
Do you think that it would work for 10 3 to 5 gal pots using 2 drippers for each pot, dripping 1/2 gallon for each pot? If so, would or could you recomend a pump GPH size??
Thanks for your time.

oops i thought i had posted here. sorry. anyway from what i saw on that site, those drippers are made for hooking on to a tap. apparently they run with low pressure.

the one thing to look out for with outdoor dripper systems is that they are leak free. but this should be achievable, if you take care putting t together. in the end you have to ask that company what kind of flow rate (gallons per hour) their drippers need? they are pressure equalizing, which means a certain amount of pressure will be needed. but you best always ask the people you buy the drippers from what the pump capacity needs to be for those drippers. those things might run on a cheap fountain pump, but for sure with a sump pump, with 1/2 bar. you also need an inline filter to keep your drippers from getting blocked by anything that might fall in the tank, even more so if you plan to recirculate the nutrient solution, in which case a good quality inline filter is needed.

Thanks for the input Gaius.
