Need some help with floraflex

Gorillaglue4u said:

So i bought a 16 pot micro dripper setup with the pot pro draining system for my 8x8. Now its going to be setup as 2 4x8s 8 plants with each plant getting 4 drippers. Im not sure on what pump to use to feed them. My local grow shop tried to sell me a 1k pump and after i told them im not spending that on a pump they really didnt help me anymore so i walked out. Floraflex recommended the ecojet leader 90 pump so im probably going to go with that unless there is a submersible i can use (only because i know how to set that up and im unsure how to hook the leader pump up since it goes outside the res). Also if someone has a recommendation on a pump for my runoff. Id like for that to be pumped into a large bucket with a condenser pump.

If someoe is interested in helping out shoot me a dm so i can explain better what im trying to accomplish.

If you want a submersible pump grab something like an Everbilt 1/6hp - 1/4hp utility pump. They're around $100 and will give you solid pressure.

Little Giant has some reliable pumps for the runoff, I've been running their cylindrical blue one, can't remember the model.

I did order the little giant for the runoff. I ended up just ordering 2 of the leader ecojet 90s. Now i have to figure out how to set it all up.

I've been working with Floraflex for a little over a year now. Feel free to ask me anything you need.
There is a lot of info in my journal as well...start at the end and work backwards:

I got my smallest ever yields but best quality with FloraFlex, not sure if I pushed hard enough with Full Tilt or the Bulky B additives though.. I've roasted plants with MPK (Monopotassium Phosphate) before so was very cautious and ran it on the mid-low range of strength.

I sure hope thats not true. I have been hand watering for years and get decent yields but i was hoping the drippers with athena will improve my yields.

My bad. I know nothing about Athena other than people say it's cheap and most of the illegal immigrant growers in my state use it. Maybe they know what's good?

Why do you think drip feed will increase yields over hand watering if you don't mind my asking?

I just setup a DIY automatic runoff disposal system.
Here's a little video I made showing the basic setup:

This box includes a 750gph pump with a built-in floater valve that costs $28. It seems more than ample.

I saw the follow and wasn't sure who it was, but I requested to follow back because "Not interested in logos or designs" made me laugh pretty hard.
