From what I have researched you can run twice the EC in this spray and drain system.

Where is Stinkbud? I only read the 1st 50 pages of this thread, anyone here followed it the whole way?

I just picked up a new UPS, its the next bigger one rated at 485 VA. It says to find the power requirements for my equiptment multiply total watts ___ x 1.86 = VA

So i have 5 pumps at 25watts each

125 x 1.86= 232.5 VA... so I am in safe range.

but my question is? what is the total amp at startup?

any one know how much total amps from 5 pumps at start up would initialy be?

bearly 1 amp for all 5 pump at any given point

Code:

Converting Watts to Amps:
Amps = Watts/Volts     Example: 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp

Converting Amps to Watts:
Watts = Amps x Volts    Example: 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts

Converting Watts to Volts:
Volts = Watts/Amps    Example: 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts

Converting Volts to Watts:
Watts = Amps x Volts    Example: 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts

Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage:
Amps = Watts/Volts    Example: 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps

Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage:
Volts = Watts/Amps    Example: 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts

Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second.
Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose.
A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think voltage).
But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have
more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute.
In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife
can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of
current can turn into a lot of watts.

Thank you Stink, much appreciated
i am considering a 5" posts for the final implementation
i think it will allow more room for large roots/plants
still going to run the 2" net pots, with added space for the sprayers
also looking for a more sturdy res unit, so i can run more then 1 gallon per plant
i come up to 1" below the posts with 12 gallon in the res
the res is stretching from the weight of the water.
i saw at home depot something called Strong Box for $16
its a 27 Gallon, rated for 700lbs and is extremely sturdy
(personally tested, jumped on top with the lid on, didn't budge)
its a much lower unit, comes completely in black
i didn't pick one up cause they were out of the one size larger i was looking for
whats your thoughts on that?

It is a GREAT thread, if he knew what his nute mix was.

He has no clue what EC he runs, and you guys are complete fuking morons for not careing. What meter do you run?


Hey Stink? WTF? I have been keepin an eye on you, I like ya man, what is your EC? A real grower could give a flying fuck about ppm's, HELLO? WE want to know EC.

Enlighten us,

Thankyou

Why don't you do us all a favor and find out for yourself. Get out there and start doing it, bro!! It seems you're extremely hell bent on these EC levels that you feel the need to bust balls! I've grown pounds upon pounds of quality dankness and I haven't thought about EC levels once. I must not be a real grower. Sorry.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying EC has no importance, but I just have no use for it when the only thing I need to see is how my plants are reacting to a certain dosage of nutrients. Isn't that what real growers do anyway?? You're really showing your maturity level though. Instead of complaining about how you're not getting an answer and sitting around waiting for a handout, instead, why don't you get growing yourself and supply us with an answer. Why don't YOU try to enlighten us since we're all *fucking* morons (you misspelled "fucking" by the way...moron). Stinkbud's given us so much information and all you can do is sit there and complain about the same thing over and over. You sound like an annoying old woman that lives downstairs. You're of no help around here and far from understanding what spreading the love slightly means. You're welcome to leave if you'd like
