yep know exactly what u on bout now. heap of line an heap of t junctions.
how do u stop the water from just gravity feeding out once pump off?
A one way valve
Edit: I just put a hole tiny hole at the highest part of the line which is above the res and zip tied a bit of plastic so it just drips into the res but you can buy em from Bunnings

If you are after even irrigation i just set up these for my next run.


I am feeding them from 19mm mainline from pump in a little loop like above. Which just 4mm lines.

I expected to need some small 4mm inline valves to get even water distribution but it was unnecessary for my setup.

Only downside is they come in one size that is only suitable for larger pots, but according to there instagram they are going to be coming out with more sizes.
I just buy 19mm rubber tube and make mine. The tube cost like a couple of bucks a metre and you can make em as big or small as you like. Just buy some T pieces and off you go

I done this to but no one way valve just poked a hole at top that and it sprays into the rez and let's air through once pump stopped

I start with 19 reduce to 13 them 13mm circles then run 4mm off that.
thats for the recirculating setup though.

nah not really but I have been. an then the thick stalks from fan leaves some of them need pruning nah fuck all man it does chew some tiny buds but the tiny ones that don't get chewed get pruned better than we can prune em by hand.

Fuck it, I'm gunna lash out and buy one, won't have anywhere the amount you have to process, roughly about 6to8 pounds dry by the look of it, but I'm on my own so it would take forever manually

Back when I was playing silly-buggers with explosives, we called that a "Ring-Main".

The initiation (pump) from one source then spread to individual charges (pots).

Each charge (pot) could be controlled/delayed to go off simultaneously, or in sequence (inline taps).

I built a system like this for my OD pots this year. I've since dismantled it as the individual plants are requiring different feeding regimes as they reach maturity, so I'm now just doing it by hand.

@Bullygrowz was right about controlling individual pots with individual inline flow-controllers.

Not great-looking buds, but they're destined for caps/edibles anyway.

Managed to break a jar containing 123g of leftovers IB from last year. Looks like I need to go buy some more coconut oil & do more caps....

AND the fucking chest freezer that I keep everything in has shat itself :(
