Awesome video, where did you get your inline nutrient filters?
If the drip time should be 38-44 seconds but the Apollo 9 timer (and every timer I am aware of) only has 1 minute increments, how do you achieve the precision… or would you just set the timer for 1 minute?
To keep crud from plugging up your drippers, place the pump in a fabric pot within the res to filter the water before it reaches the pump.
Very helpful video man!!!On Promix HP,since it needs to dry out between watering,how would you go about doing this set up?
Hey Everest,
Great video as always. Would you say that drip irrigation is superior to ebb and flow simply due to the fact that you do not waste as much water and nutrients? Or is drip irrigation a more efficient delivery method for water and nutrients?
Thanks
do it yourself , go to inplix page and learn how .
Great vids man! I have a question, do you think rockwool cubes (hugo) will be good enough to run a scrog style?
would this work for soil setup and what modifications would be need to make it so?
great video. thank you very much
video was bad ass.love it
Hey, love your videos. I am looking into building a setup similar to this and I was wondering if I would have to worry about water pressure. I read that fittings can break if they are at 50+ PSI. Also what are the dimensions of your mainline tubing?
In your equation for finding a water pump, what does the 8 stand for? Thank you!
Thanks for the video! It's awesome. Could this be scaled down to be very small? Like a counter-top drip system? Any advice?
I need a led do you recommend anything better than a mars – 700 watt hit me back let me know what you think and I really would appreciate your time and a place on helping me get a decent light for a fordable price can't use HPS or metal halide too much electricity consumption hit me back as soon as possible thank you vic
