Experiment is when you try something new, that newer way.
Not using al old system, that have a proven track record.
Like spending $3 bucks apiece for sprayers that are 30 cents each in bulk and come with fittings , to use common 1/4 in hose
Also using a inline filter to prevent cloging up.
Experiment is when you take thing that work, Like not using duck tape but use closed cell phome, to prevent problems with the xylome and plome of the plant. You can use a BBQ motor with a cam to move the light up and down. You can also use drainage fitting that are cheaper than pvc, and black to prevent mold. Also use caulking compound at the top of fittings so you can reuse them. But you all ready know that cause you mag drive pumps that do not leak, also it trips the GFI. No one is that stupid not to use gfi around dem volts. Of course you use black hose so mold does not build up and clog you sprayers.
