I don’t understand the problem? Cut a 4’ piece of garden hose off your neighbors hose, lol. buy HOSE Thread MHT or FHT to pvc NPT PVC fitting, 4 feet of 1/2 pvc make manifold, glue manifold together mix reservoir, set timer! The extra fitting in the hose goes to a quick Connect so easily removed to move my trays around, but unnecessary for a tent. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
 
What dice is the barbed fitting? Whatever goes on snugly is fine and won’t come off there is all but zero psi. Insurance get hose clamp to keep hose clamped on barbed fitting, I zip tie is definitely more than necessary if tightened properly!
 
Less than $2 quick connect with ball valve to control flow for entire manifold.

@LJFarming the pump he has, has a pressed fitting that isn't even tight. I have the same pump, it's useless for a configuration like you're describing. He needs something that at very least has a threaded outlet.

All great input otherwise.
 
For a small fee I can build a cart with the SPECIAL fittings so you on Amazon or Home Depot

Ok I use smaller pumps for reservoir nutrient circulation that you are talking about my bad for jumping to conclusions. I didn’t realize bud. It still just needs a hose on the barbed fitting or jammed in the output.

no excuse, i have a few glasses of scotch in me and should avoid a keyboard. that being said, i'm impressed with your ingenuity. his is a slip fitting on both sides, so no barbs, and without a profuse amount of tape, i personally haven't figured out a way to make the damn thing do anything outside a no pressure application.

no harm no foul. pretty sure my foot in so far up my mouth at this point my best bet is to shut up, so glad you're here! 🍻

My smaller pumps literally just have a piece of tubing jammed in the top because it fits tighter that the fittings supplied than the pump!

The pumps are definitely cheap Chinese shit but with a with friction fit they shouldn’t ever push the hose out or at least mine don’t.
 
your car's too slow to be running bud. time to cool it on that.
Just gotta know the roads better than the cops bro.
I ran a NYS Trooper that had a v6 twin turbo ford fusion, i had a 4 banger hyundai elantra gt hatchback... lol

Fucker had no chance keeping up with me on the backroads i grew up on.
I never saw him again after we turned off the main road and i left him in a huge cloud of dust🤣🤣

Id never do it again, nor am i proud of that moment but i was loaded down and was not gonna stop...

i had one, another one coming at me, jousted, and then another one passing as i turn off behind him and cut right into complex - gone

does this "1/2" connect to the bubbler? from the pump, THEN i can use the 1/4 line from a bubbler?

sorry im fucking retarded.

i have no experience with this shit or knowledge.
 
I don’t understand the problem?
Im Currently Retarded when it comes to these "super-advanced" PVC watering systems, lmao.

ok this makes more sense now though, and thanks for the vocab, i dont know what shit is called.
 
They probably came with a few different barbed fittings that thread in the top. Since those pumps make less than 5 psi you don’t even need hose clamps. Again octobubblers for the most economical solution. 16 plants per 16 square feet IMO. $10 in pvc and fittings and for less than $50 you have a duct taped, bailing wire, very inexpensive redneck drip system and more time to watch movies and smoke bowls!
i need to stop by lowes or home depot then.

That one benefit to the country life is cops are real scarce up here so itll be 20+ minutes before back up gets up on the mountain where i am. County Station is 20 mins, state police barracks is 30 mins lol.
 
Barbed fitting
Female Garden hose
Male garden hose
National pipe thread


Just noting shit don't mind me lol

Design Complete Observer. I will mail this week. All you should need is an octobubbler and two 1/2” slip pvc caps! IMG_4524.jpegIMG_4525.jpeg
 
From everything I think i learned about low pressure open ended drip systems it is crucial that each hose connected to the octobubbler is the same length so that each plant gets the same amount. Maybe someone with more plumbing experience can chime in because I’m definitely not positive about the feed tube length but that’s how I built mine 3+ years ago at the recommendation of an old head and all 96 tubes and 12 octobubblers are still watering within a couple milliliters of each other
 
More roots growing on top where it's covered.

Fast dry backs, vegetative steering.

Doesn't even look like I removed much.

Could do more but time consuming.

TOBH,

I’m not looking for a debate from anyone but when do you take them to “STICKS”? I honestly strip the girls around day 21 depending on strain and then depending on my laziness strip everything with a petiole everyday until chop!

Again I’m not saying this is right or wrong or left or straight it’s just how I was taught. Definitely not looking to debate though!

1 thing is for certain that it does is cut down on the amount of work the Dehuey has to do/ electric bill week 4-9 as well as amount of time trimming and that’s a fact Jack!

My last run is documented on the old site. Dirtbag's Method to growing to a better life. When I say stripping to sticks, that's what it looks like.

Your method may not be as severe, and like you, I'm not looking for a debate.

To each their own, you grown fine weed, mine is probably lesser than. I'm still learning after 20 years of growing as much as everyone else.

If you have a personal issue with me, take it to the direct messages so we can work it out.

It was not meant at all to sound like I had an issue with you bud! I was trying to say I strip them pretty much to sticks as well. Sorry it sounded like that and I apologize if you took it that way!
I just didn’t want the many folks that don’t believe in defoliation to start putting their 2 cents in for days upon end.

i misread. whiskey my guy. iykyk.

there's nothing like a solid strip tease that bushes out two weeks later, then a second strip and solid donkey dicks without VPD issues later.

pretty sure that's my problem right now, tbh. i'm on the verge of the first Big One. 78F/70%. once i take all those moisture dumps away i'll probably be looking at 80F/60% and VPD will be perfect. then after flip, give it three weeks, and it'll happen again.

we good. LJ is solid. my drunk ass is doing tobh troll cave shit because imma troll.
 
I run LEDs and run 85f and 75Rh until stretch is done and then basically keep F and Rh 10 points apart until chop but only drop 1-2 points each for the last 6 weeks and never get lower than 75f 60Rh. Again just the way I was taught! With High Rh and 10 fans circulating the air like a hurricane PM or Mold will not ever come into play and your yield and quality will increase. Again just my 2 cents but I have been running the same way since the day I started growing indoors.
