Finger update

Who said dabs aren't dangerous? I beg to differ.
Needed 2 back to back just to forget the pain. Lol

A vacuume break is basically a small leak downstream of the pump back to the rest. Usually just a small T in the discharge hose. When the pump shuts off it allows air in preventing siphoning.

So how exactly does the water flow to the single line ran to the reservoir w

Maybe I'll trade the fluid inside in the classified section. Might make a good foliar spray who knows
Organic

Can't even see the irrigation system anymore. Lol it's in there I swear!
Just picked up some 2gal/min drippers and will be experimenting with them to try and get a nice even spread watering.

And the 3x3 'tester' tent
Should have put a better bulb in my cmh. Plants stretched hard but it's alright. Changed it after a week or so after 12/12 and added led.
Tents just a strain tester anyways 315w cmh sunmaster full nova wx and a 100w spiderfarmer
Needs some defol and attention lol

What is everyone using for table drains? I have rain barrel bulkhead fittings, but they seem to leak from the threads. Maybe try a better quality bulkhead... Was looking at ebb and flow drain kits but not sure if the size will work. Looks like a 1/2" drain but I need a bit bigger

Have you tried thread tape?

I did tape them. I generally tape all my threads. It leaks less, but still leaks

That's fustrsting.

Maybe a copper bulkhead?

Worth a shot, and some plumbers puddy. What about a sink drain?

Yea it's driving me nuts. I did buy the bulkheads from amazon (china) so I'm sure they aren't the greatest quality. I have that hooked up to garden hose end, into a 5/8" hose.

Thought of this but the size is too large. Haven't been able to find a small one that'll fit into the tables low spot. Also I'm limited to about 5" underneath the table. I have a 90° elbow on the bottom that kicks it horizontal without bending

I’m using amazon bulkheads on all my tables. None have leaked ever

silicone seals well, fills voids. just have to let it sit for a day to cure.
for metal threads (like brass) I use pipe dope.

Did the bulkhead fitting not come with gaskets? Should be one inner and one outer gaskets.
