His vids are good to get a general idea, but he left a lot out...skip the drip step he does though...I just hand water for a bit after sprout until my ebb n flow will reach the roots. Then its game time!

So when he fills up the tubs does he just leave the water in there like goghydro does and then just empty and refill it?

Right on...actually hydrozyme has way more enzymes than sensi...my AN supplier said to use it instead...good stuff. ...and so are big bud and overdrive. How did you go about your flush? Just water or did you use a flushing agent. I've got some clearex I think I'm gona use for final flush this grow and am looking for some tips.
Nope...no clearex. Just RO water for 7-10 days.

How'd you attach your pump to the PVC? Looks like I have pretty much the same pump and I can't find any adapters to go from the pump to the PVC ... Or even pipe that fits the pump for that matter! Argh! ... Going pipe shopping tomorrow!

Also, do you have airstones bubbling in the bottom 24/7?

Cheers.

The bottom of the 3/4" tee is threaded on the tee side and socket (glue) on the straight through part. It's hard to find that tee so you'll probably need to get a regular 3/4" tee and a *3/4" PVC female adapter*. Then you'll need a *3/4 MPT (male pipe thread) x hose barb* fitting. On the pump end you'll need another *MPT x hose barb* fitting for the pump. Most pumps have a threaded connection on top......whether it's 3/4" or 1/2" I have no idea......it's your pump. :mrgreen:

Since I have 2 tubs I purchased (2) *dual outlet* air pumps. I have (2) 12" air stones in each tub but 1 stone is connected to 1 pump and the other stone is connected to the 2nd pump. That way if one air pump fails I still have 1 stone in each tub working. Yes...both pumps (air and spray) run 24/7.

Love it, How far down from the top of the tub do you put your header for your sprayers? you said to set it according to spray the bottom 1/3rd of the netpots, but how do you know where its going to spray before you have it all hooked up and going? also did you just thread those sprayers into the 3/4" pvc? did you glue them into the pvc or use plumbers puddy? just wondering what and how.....
