Cool setup man . Keep the pic's coming.

well the 1st thing I realize, is that you took a simple system and complicated it. No need for drip with ebb and flow table. Waste of money.
Nice, but not necessary.

2nd, you can grow 9 plants max in that table, and that is pushing it. Your yield will suffer in the fact that the entire bottom of you plants will be nutrient sucking worthless; Due to No Light penetration.

In closing. You would be better off vegging in ebb and flow...and flowering in drip, or just stick with ebb and flow. Commercial growers veg in an ebb and flow system generally, then transfer to drip, or use drip all the way.


Goodluck. Take my advice. grow many less plants than you planned. Personally I would grow only 4 plants in that table

[greenman:D]

umm for starters i will not be growing huge plants, i will be growing sea of green , just for the cola`s, so no the bottom of my plants will not be sucking worthless, plus i will eventually be using this drip system for only 2 mothers and clones them moving them to ebb and flow for flowering.

OK good luck

Who is this latewood knob? There is no right or wrong way to grow weed, IT IS A WEED! That is a sweet drip system that can be used for whatever the hell he wants! Those wants could change week to week from plant to plant...

I guess your one of those 10ft tall message board cool guys, huh?

Very nice drip system greenman, I may just write down your parts list and whip me up a dripper system...Thanks for sharing your build!

Nah he's just a cool moderator trying to help people keep things simple, I alone can see many problems that a system like this has.
He never said he fuck face this isn't going to work and u just wasted your time... not to mention the lack of information provided to begin with, I'd say latewood not becuase hes a mod, but becuase hes an expeirenced grower is abselutly right in his response. Even in a sea of green set up a ebb and flow is easier and more stable, the drip system A) clogs b) may not work propperly for all plants.
Ive had a 6 drip system display problems, cant image what to do with 24 plants in the same situation.

Your going to need a atleast 300 gph to pressurize all that tubing. It really does depend alot on your medium of choice for flower if u dont use alot of rockwool u could use another drip, thats what i would do.

[dusto2k3]

well, i use Dig MAverick 12 zone heads, which flow at 2gph. They are real easy to clean cuz all the emitters are in one spot and easily accessible.

[align=center]No. I am just one of the resident moderators put in place to teach here in the cultivation forums. I also have been invited and do, moderate at 2 others mmj forums. Not to mention owning a commercial hydro business.

hmmm, maybe I don't know shit. Anyway, now You opened a can of worms....please "Don't" eat them!

Is it kinda dumb to create complications where there are none.

Something to keep in mind; There is "NO" place
For: New members that mouth off to administration. So let this be a warning to you. You could've complimented Greenman without getting in my Ass, and should have!

I merely gave sound advice up above. If I cannot teach Greenman that is cool; Really! Saves me some time...

In closing If you really knew how "tall" I was, here @Cdot...
You would know that I have stated for years that pot is a weed.
I teach simplicity from way back. I preach that there are many ways and individual choice when growing.
You need to research who you are chastising beforehand & chill, if you want to enjoy this community.
Your choice
Peace :smokin:
