........1 40 gal brute trash can new on caster rollers with lid (home depot) cleaned and maintained weekly.
Use to operate ez-clone 120, no more back to old school (soil/rapid-rooters). so took pump from ez-clone 120 gph? but very powerful shoots water up to about 6in from top of the res. circulates in 30-45 sec for quick mixing of not so soulable organic feeding amendments. Note: don't try this at home 'sometime you have to waist money to make it'
........Heating the bottom of the hydro res is 1 titanium heater set at 65deg rest on bottom (does not burn or break), off for summer don't get GLASS....!
........Cooling is one eco chiller 1/10hp 120/372gph as temps reach 80-85 deg and mmj don't like that set at 65deg, set behind the light door with the two 100lb LP gas tanks. to keep cool.
........monitoring is one 24 hr newt monitor with ppm, ph, temp, sensors located in bottom of res as to get acurite reading with back up pen for quality control.
........Air pump from ez-clone 120 ran to bottom with with aqua stone large 8in circle
........1 400gph pump connected too 50 foot feed line attached to wand with shut off and flow control. used also as calculating pump when res cycles.
........ RO system (covered as not to create algae growth) with inline in/out ppm meter connected to house via small water line with valve at water heater cold side and at the ro unit running 60lbs pressure with 750mlh back flow preventor and swamp style float for water shut off.
.........In line with the RO is a booster pump for the times needed to just flush the plants by by turning a valve switch over to a separate line to flush and ariate top 2 in of soil with fresh water pressure simulating root cleaning.
.........Next to it is one standard fold up table with ez-cloner 120 on it with top upside down to put plants on to flush/drain with 8ft hose attached to drain any and all fluids down and out of the grow room that it creates.
......... sometimes i forget stuff but ill post video link soon.... NF OUT
