It pulls a bit of water in the rez from the inlet line and forces it up and into the rez. The suction created refills it from the other side.

It's quite brilliant really and I wish I could explain it better. We're modifying my other res tomorrow so we'll try and take some photos as we go to try and explain it more clearly.

LOL, there's the rub for me WH, i've had so many other issues and principles to learn, i've had to prioritize. unfortunately, that was a principle i put on the back burner.
i figured if i couldn't get them to grow, and i couldn't get them to clone, well, i didn't need to learn how to drip on them. LOL
anyway, it looks like this has the interest of others also so i'm sure we will have all the info we need soon.

bozo,
peace, love, dope

Bozo you think I understand this stuff? I go to the hydro store and say "what should I do?" and the BRAIN says "this" and hands me something.....I go do it.....nice plants grow.

I STILL can't tell you much about lighting and spectrums beyond what the best to use is and the VERY basics of why so don't stress.....its a learn as you go thing.

very interesting.....maybe even enough to convince this dirty boy of getting wet.........shhhhhhhh

Stealth we could set you up with something really simple to start.....like a hempy....you'd even get to water it LOL. I think you'd do very well at it with some practice.

sigh, sadly, i'm poor enough that i am forced to learn the principles so i can come up with a makeshift alternative, 'on the cheap', lol

and Stealth, i'm only on my second grow, the first was in dirt, but i love the hydro way, lol, don't think i'll ever go back (with the possible exception of outdoors)
hydro rather than dirt, coupled with CFL rather than MV = 4 times the growth with the same seed stock.

i think i'm ready now to throw down on some quality genetics

so, toke amongst yourselves
:S5:

i'm with you all the way on that WH!

shit, i'd say you both have proven your ability's, if you can do what you've already done, you can do hydro even better!

so, again, toke amongst yourselves, lol

So we just went and built one in about 10 minutes and I took some photos. Hopefully these will make better sense than all my babble.

In the first two pics....the system set up unside the LOWER rez. This is the actual "piece" that GH sent with the kit. Second photo is the GH picture of the kit itself.

Here is what you will need in the first photo. Keep in mind these are only the parts to work on the resevoir....not the modules themselves. The modules themselves will need their own grommets and plastic extensions, tubing etc....

Second pic: Good extra parts to have around. The drill bits pictured there came with the kit but I used my own unibit to do all the drilling. The correct size bit for 1/2" holes (using 1/2" grommets btw...those are what are in the picture) is 13/16 fyi.

Oh and Bozo......hps instead of cfl.....4 times the yield for the same time, energy and nutes on your part. Worth every penny. ;)

Hey WH:jointsmile: You have everyone's wheel's spinning. Exactly what we were discussing. The WF buckets everyone seems to agree is an issue I'm so surprised they have not Tried to make a repair Kit.... Who needs them when you have the Weed Hound on your side....

Great THREAD :thumbsup:
