Well I just tested it and it was pretty much a complete failure. The sprinkler solenoid doesn't seem to stop the water from flowing when powered off and also doesn't let it flow freely when powered on. What a piece of shit!! I have two of them and they are both doing the same thing. I will go back to Home Depot and try another brand. The reason I got this brand is because it's smaller and I thought I would need the smallest one but I have some space so I will try another brand and probably talk to someone there who knows a little something about sprinkler systems. I thought I could do this on my own but I guess it's time to seek help. Oh, I had one minor leak and I think that's pretty good for a novice plumber. The leak is coming from a swivel adapter that I will replace. Oh well, I didn't think I was going to get this one right on the first try so I am not all that disappointed. I will get it right eventually. I know this can work.

Sounds like you need a Flux Capacitor!!!

but if u ride into the future u would have already emptied the buckets. lmfao. i love being baked.


oh berkman ur pk was a hit with the guys at the hydro store. lmao.

and BC u forgot the trim to make the iso.

you two sound like your married.....bahahah Ironically when i clicked the link i realized the company Humco is located maybe like 10 Mins from my house. I live in South Lake Tahoe and a good friend of mine lives on the same road, they must build the systems out of the house... Small world, I'm gonna give them a ring tmrw. What do you think of this, my tent is going to be an 8x8x6'7 so realistically a 12 bucket system is too much. I am hell bent on fitting 4-1000s in there, just gotta vent the shit out of it. I wanted to do a sealed tent and add CO2 but im realizing its not possible without burning everything up so it must be vented. If you have a 5x5 and are only running 1-1000w and a 4 bucket system, Im doubting if my plan will work....I think itll be a little much.. In your opinion, what would be the max i should put in there as far as lights and/or DWC buckets. I just wanna pull the most out of the space I can work with, which is an 8x8.....however if i scrap the tent and just blow up the room since i wont be doing co2, it goes to a 9.5x12....much more room........allready bought the tent tho

I think you can fit (4) 1000 watts in your 8x8 but you are correct, you will need a massive venting system and it will be pretty cramped in there, but I still think you can do it. Now, whether it's a wise decision remains to be seen.

You can still run CO2 if you separate the light and tent cooling systems. I have done the same thing in my 5x5 so I don't know why it wouldn't scale up properly to fit in your 8x8.

Figure an 8x8 is the same as (4) 4x4 tents, 4 1000 watt lights doesnt seem like too much..
