I dunno if that's gonna fit in my 5x6 foot staging area, haha. I love the idea of the slide, just gonna need some more room to attempt something like that.i originally built a 3x4 foot frame with a piece of wire fence on the bottom and a loose piece of window screen on that. by keeping the screen loose you can roll the turface back and forth. if you dump a whole bag in it takes longer to screen than if you dump about a gal in at a time.
since then i have built a screen slide 25 ft long and 3 ft wide. i can dump a bag on the top and leave it all week brushing towards the bottom as i pass by once or twice a day. by the end of the week i've got a thoroughly screened load that hopefully has also been washed by some rain. i still wash the hell out of it anyway in a concrete mixing tub with the water running. turn it over with a shovel a few times until it runs clear.
after loading in the container i rinse it one more time.
the clamp you show is exactly the one i was thinking about. once you squeeze it shut with a pair of channel locks it will never come off.
you do be welcome!
editing to give mcfly420 credit for the slide idea. good one!
I've gone from an 8 gallon volume rez, to a 15 gallon rez, to a 32 gallon rez and now to a 71 gallon rez. I can mix 60 gallons of jacks+ once a month (4 plants), useing 2 gallons a day (max useage) for the last 5 weeks of bloom or so (shouldnt be away then anyway), the 60 gallons will easily last 8 days and if i parrellel in the other 32 gallon rez, longer than I should be away but in veg ???. have alot of hangaround time with these ppks, gonna buy a another, new Harley.best thread/method there is.
OH, I've started useing the 1/2" rubber waterproof grommets with regular 1/2" black tube. easiest and driest I've ever run. my run is too small for pipe and feeders.
You don't even need to use the barbed fittings? Just push the 1/2" tube right through the grommet? That sounds easy as hell! I like the idea of the bigger res.
