K ! 
my 18 site x 2 on two 55 gal res ( 50gal ) is up and going . I used smart pots inside of the screen buckets to help keep the perlite in . Im going to vegg in smart pot hempys and hand water those for perpetual and just move the pots into the system for flower. How ever Im vegging on it this run to catch up.
My clones were pissed off before they got transplanted into the capp system last night and all ready look better.
Man , firkin tap water took 200 mils of PH down to set from 7,5 to 5.8 with 50 gal . Almost a half a bottle for the two rez's . Does that seam abnormal ? And 270 mills each of part A & B which is to be expected. Good thing im not using RO and cal mag. lol Paid for it in PH down. Fluro Duo Ph's RO perfect.
Not sure if one could run many more sites than 18-20 on one rez as the flood uses the better part of 3/4 of it.

Just saw this thread ive been running smart pots in the grow chamber then use coco mixed with size 3 perlite about 50/50;24 sites, and have had absolutely great results. I only water once for like a month or till they can handle more then up to twice. I bought this back when they were big overall they work fine have better rrsults than when i just used. Hydroton or perlite. Plus the smart pots and whole air pruning really help the roots tear up that pot. It like a hard mat when they r done. Just giving my 2 cents
thanks for sharing.
is the rez down right to the top of the pump ?
it must be a pain to inlarge the bucket size hole with a hole all ready started ? it' cost less to just replumb with 1/2" when dirty ?
the coco doesn't throw your rez off ?
on a 55 gallon res running 36 2 gallon there is about 1/3 of the res left on flood,you could run 48 and still have about ten gallons left in the res,if you don't want to change from 1/2 to 3/4 at the bucket use reducing fittings and still run 3/4 hoses,to clean as salt build up will happen in the hoses use super hot water and twist and bend the hoses when cleaning,this will break up the salts stuck to the inside of the hoses ,if you don't it will eventually clog your hoses,clean thouroghly when cycle is done,

Hay Guys, Im new to this and not to long ago started my first grow with the CAP system. I have 24 pots, 2 1000w lights on light movers. Im 3 days into flowering and today my plants where dropping. what am I doing wrong? I use GH nu and using the lucus grow with micro and grow.
Man that screen is perfect. can you walk all the way around it ? I was think about hanging a screen on some type of movable apparatus and rachettes make perfect sense. how many lights ?
