Hey G, good to hear from you. You've been busy writing a lot of FAQs. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

PUMPS: I believe, you get what you pay for.

If $10 pumps from Walmart have worked for you, great!

But, because he mentioned that they "died" on him... well, that's why I suggested higher quality ($) pumps.

As to the difference between the $60 GH and the $10 WalMart... I haven't seen the GH, nor the WalMart one... But, I'll bet you a big chronic nugget that GH's pump has over twice the amount of engineering than the WalMart one.

Just my 2cents...

Peace and love Gen,

It is run by one of those $10 air pumps from WallyMart. I use the ones that are set up for 2 lines per pump. Each line goes into separate buckets. My problem is these things work well the first 2 to 4 weeks in flowering, and then some of the quit working -- they just don't put out much if any bubbles anymore. Of course this happens near the END of the flowering cycle when it becomes difficult to get Rating: 5
