cool I think your right about the 10 feet. I will be looking at much more than 10 feet altogether though. My 1/2" plumbing will go inside grow chambers extending almost full length. This means if each tube is 5 feet there will be 15 feet of 1/2" tube not counting the head height. Can you...

very nice dunlop and welcome to the forums. lol I noticed yo also use foil tape for unused 2" inserts. I am using 1.5ft head with only 1/2" plumbing. I still think a 700 might be necessary though. Are those 5' long 6"diameter tubes you are using? I am getting some later to begin copying...

lol the info is not false. Thats like saying that having to use nutrients is a myth or something...Its just part of hydro. Re-read the suggestions and try attacking your res again. Quite a ph swing you have there. Jedi, any ideas why his ph is whippin so hard? I have had root problems...

anyone else got an idea? I need to get a more powerful pump quick, but I don't want to get another that will provide not enough poowwahh! Thanks and sorry I am in a rush about it! bump

the darker green you were talking about earlier is preferable. However an extremely dark green can be a sign of nitrogen toxicity. DO NOT VEG BEYOND 6-8 inches. You are more than likely going for a single cola style grow because that would be a good idea. If you let them veg past 6-8...

roger that http://stores.northcoasthydroponics.com/-strse-12373/Tubing-Accessories-Fittings/Detail.bok these guys. How do I know how much Psi I am pushing. That seems to be the determing factor on the gph. F= v/a ? lol thought this would be a bit easier.

Ty for the response new G...it has been a lil while. Im going to start dropping in on your thread for small questions from now on. A good summary of the concepts reviewed in this thread.

I also recommend being an extreme loser. Never leaving your house cannn technicalllly be considered "agoraphobia"...lets just call it good "agriculture."

thats why you set up a aero/ntf hybrid and keep hygrozyme stocked. If you have a pump failure you results will likely just be normal instead of "supersonic".

yeah jedi im with you on that bud. ESpecially when using organic nutes with tons of expensive hyrogzyme etc...I cant even afford to do that 2.5 week flush hahhaa. peace

marda, how do I know what gph my sprayers are capable of. I am using the normal green American agritech sprayers.

i trust that wick systems are indeed easy to maintain. for easy of use i would actually go with ebb & flo For better results try aeroponics... no offense guys but I already mentioned that this thread is about pump sizing and not about my DIY plans. Thanks marda

thats what i was looking for chief. Thanks

I am not exactly asking for a aeroponic system design critique. I know the system I am making is aeroponic just like the aeroflo that I am running...so yes I do know what AERO is. I was asking about pumps sizing mainly and I welcome any advice on that subject.

so i realize this may sound confusing. it is a DIY about 30 sites. The pump will sit about 2 ft lower than the spray tubes. Will I need a pump over 700 Gph?

I dont understand why you would not want the plants to be using an equal amount of water to nutes. Could you please clarify for me how I can use these indicators to adjust my ppm and or add back fresh water. ? I believe I am confused on these matters. thanks for reply

I forgot these things and can not find the FAQ on it now. Can someone fill me on on what it means? when 1)my ppm drops, raises, stays the same. 2) my ph drops, drops incredibly quick, or begins a rising trend? ty

hey, I am making a DIY system and was wondering what GPh would be required. The pump plumbing will have a max height of 2 ft. The sprayer tubes are 1/2" and will fill 3 6' tubes. Using American Ag. green 360 degree sprayers. Would a 700 gph mag drive pump be ok? Is it...

cool stuff. You flood every 15 minutes with that!?!?

hahaha heavily agree with # 3 for newbies. #1 is not crucial, but as I remember the aeroflo 30 may use a submersible pump. If that is so, the timer may be a wise investment. Don't gro from your bagseed if you can avoid it....you bought an expensive aero system....why not get a few cheap...
