Hey guys here's some pics of my final setup. I'm doing 100% coco. Started feeding about 400ppm Jan 19th. Sprouted about a week earlier in the 11th. I have to my disposal GH micro, bloom, cal/mag and some bushdoctor iron, guy at the hydro store tossed in for me. Just wanted to see what you guys think. I've went through i don't know how many variations of my own DIY manifold. Finally invested the 20bucks for a decent orbit 8 port adjustable flow manifold and couldn't be any happier. I sprouted 7 bagseeds and didn't think they would all make it....well here I am stuck having to choose 2 I want to toss, snce Canada allows a max of 5. I'm planning to keep 5 and put them in 2 gal pots I have available maybe only fill them up to around 1 gal. My res Is only 10 gal. The only thing I'm having an issue with now is a decent 1 s interval timer. Lowest I can go with my digital one noe is 1 min and it quite a lot of water with my 264gal/hr pump wondering if you guys have any suggestions on that too. Thanks

Ps. Im pretty proud of this little contraption I made to raise my pots. I found these at the dollar store. Marked out my giant 22" drain sauser and trimmed off the excess. Hope that helps someone who's pinching every penny and is into diy stuff like myself. ;)20200125_180725.jpg

Great resource site for any cocoholic.

Consider a tray for the long haul. Fewer 2x2's out there - get as deep as possible that will fit.

Thank you tint. Like I said in my earlier post I like to pinch every penny. I was looking for a tray and the cheapest 2x2 tray I found was 70bucks. I couldn't bare to spend that much so I got to thinking and devised this 22" sauser drain pan thing lol. I drilled a drain fitting on the edge and slightly tilted the sauser to flow towards the drain. Here's an action shot

Looks good except I think you will run out of room very quickly with that many plants. Love the automated water setup. *edit* I'm dumb lol, nvm, I re read your post
