Irwins Critical Autoflower under aeroponics and 400w HPS

Post by Irwin the Troll »

Fuck Halloween, I got pot to grow.
Already ran into a hitch with an insufficient pond pump.
How much pump do i need to make 8 mist heads on 1/4 inch line work proper?
The one I had is a bit weak apparently, but Im sure it isn't a high gpm.

This is a premade mister for patios and shit, it was like 15 bucks or something.

The pump is located in the lower reservoir with 3 gallons of solution. the tubing hole acts as a drain back to the res as well as access for the tube.
Simple setup, the upper container is shallow and allows for plenty of rootball.

Right now only one mister is working and there is insufficient pressure to feed the others.
WOrst case scenario is I have a passive drip table available.

Well, I guess all my pics display landscape, or something, but you get the picture at least.

Is yours missing?
I know I copped your lighter last time I was over, but I purchased this pump a while ago.

I just ordered a much stronger pump. 1000 gph which may be too much pump, 92watt power draw, but it is adjustable.
If I cant get at least a good sprinkler going, I'll have to consider a vertical rise with a 360 head.

You look like you got your shit together. Anybody that ever saw pics of hydro set ups would never call stoners brain damaged.
