I just tossed out the net pot completely.Been looking through all the thread and looks like an awesome setup all about the low maintenance great results thinking about building some of these to to try out. I had a few questions in the newer design your running with the landscape pipe, airstones and vermiculite do you take the net pot wick out and just use a flat floor with holes drilled in it or did you just reposition them.
That's what those black houses are for, to hold some empty air space in the res, as for the air stones I'm still working and tweaking things on that, and no havent noticed much a difference in wateringok and your running the airstone from start to finish and the floor just sits on the vermiculite without the airgap so the vermiculite acts as the wick do you have to add water nore often with space the vermiculite takes up in the reservoir
I just fill it up, usually a little over the black hose lvl, with an air stone theres no point in having any air gap, the stones provide all the air it needsThink I'm following what your saying so you just keep the water level a little lower than the top of the black pipe like it was before with the water only res. Sorry for all the questions just trying get it right the first time. Appreciate all the researching and tests you've done with this.
CorrectSo the soil just sits on top of the hose and vermiculite?
When your grow is complete do you disassemble and clean out your sip?Correct
Yes, I normally recycle the soil add my amendments after it gets tested, wash out the sip fix anything that I may have screwed up. Then reset it and keep on rocking.When your grow is complete do you disassemble and clean out your sip?
Man, it can be impossible to hit shit with a snubnose at times! You must have steady hands... A lot of accuracy comes from trigger squeeze and not jerking in anticipation. Still, I had a hell of time hitting a cinder block with a .38 snub, it's not easy.Sorry it's been taking me so long to answer you guys back, I've actually been breaking down and cleaning the wifes little pea shooter lol. But this baby is now cleaner then most guys wives pussy! Lmfao, sorry cant help myself.

Next up is my new 12g I just got, I think this thing super smooth, it's a Winchester 12g sxp defender. Only cost 300, but I've spent another 400 on a new pistol grip with stock, new forearm with pin rails, also adding a side saddle for holding 6 extra rounds, red dot reticle, green laser for up to 300m day and night. And tac flash light with strobe that will blind a mother fucker with 1300 lumens, lmfao I'll post a pic when I complete the build.

I was referring to the 12g, 18in barrel smooth bore, with rifled slugs. But yes man your right that dam .38 spl snub nose only has a 1.5in barrel anything past 20 yards you better be a real dam good shot or be lucky as hell. Lol it's for the wife made for one thing, point blank range defense.Man, it can be impossible to hit shit with a snubnose at times! You must have steady hands...

Man, you should Google crimson trace, it's a grip with a laser light, I'm thinking about grabbing it for the wife. She may actually love it, I just wont tell her what it cost... lolMan, it can be impossible to hit shit with a snubnose at times! You must have steady hands...

When cleaning out the sip do you worry about all the vermiculite in the bottom/mixing with the soil? Do you clean the vermiculite some how?Yes, I normally recycle the soil add my amendments after it gets tested, wash out the sip fix anything that I may have screwed up. Then reset it and keep on rocking.
On average I cook my soil for about 2 months, give or take
