I'd have to guess it stayed at temperature...

Yeah really huh? I'm a dork lol

79f for 45 minutes or so, max temp!

So your mishap with the pump REALLY make me rethink going hydro...

My op is on the second floor of my 3 bedroom townhouse. And there is a one bedroom apartment right below us...

All carpeted....NO acceptable place for water to spill PERIOD, in excess of a gallon or two MAX, without a MAJOR shit storm.

I am gonna spill eventually, especially bein new at it, based on what I hear you sayin....

I was a dumbass...

and you do not need an external hose as I do with the top feed...

My ebb/flow has never leaked...

I have spaced and overfilled the res... and pulled hoses then turned the pump on...

But left alone my op has never leaked a single drop...

Just cause I am careless deosn;t mean you will do it..

How often do you overflow your sink? or bath tub?

Just get some pond liner plastic to form a "tub" and you will be golden...

Don;t get scared cause I'm careless....

Well I can be REALLY absent minded sometimes...

And you aren't the first example of this...it seems anyone who's hydro journal I follow for any length of time has had a spill that would turn my life upside down....I may have to go even farther than you suggest with the pond liner....just to be safe.

you have never followed mine..all igrew on ever was the carpet in a room in the house..Went from an Aerogarden to a 6 gal Bubbleponics unit...never spilled a drop..ever..

You can be careful Jesse...

Trust me...

My ebb flow has never leaked...

True, I haven't ever really followed yours...

But to be clear...I don't claim that I have followed EVERY hydro journal...

Just that the ones I HAVE, all have had spills in excess of something I am prepared to deal with...

And what I did,, other than the 100 gallon fuck up that I explained you could never have...

A wet vac cured in under 2 minutes...

Well good!

And Purp, its good to know that someone has had no issues...I am just paranoid man...it doesn't take much to keep me up at night with worry, I must reluctantly admit...

I haven't seen you my way lately GB...you lose my trail?

I've been lurking...

And Jesse I am confident that you can have a leak free ebb flow..

I cannot guarantee that you will not turn the water hose on and spray the inside of your apartment...

But can tell you that you can have a leak free ebb flow...

Oh and have you noticed how I setup the trays in the new room...

No bench.. the tray just sits right on top of the res...

Perfect match for a 3x3 tray....

let me go get a pic... you could not have seen yet...

I haven't seen yours yet...like that.

But I have seen others do it the same way...

Do you just shorten the length of your drain valve then, or push it farther into the rez, or what? I am assuming that the rez height changes relative to the tray...

You lost me bro...

Nothing changes..

Well... I shortened the hose from the pump to the tray to avoid a big "S" turn... but even that that was not necessary as I use flexible hose...

everything else stayed exactly the same...

Like this Jesse...

No chance of leaks...

Every connection is INSIDE of the res...

Oh I see. I didn't know you used flexible hose.

I have seen pictures of people using just straight ABS pipe lately...had the wrong image in my mind.

Ahh yes I see. Good idea.

following ur big girls with great interest....

when i'm happy with my plant selection and survival rate i deffinitely want to go back to one plant per container... i just like the 'back-up' for the time being.

did you 'clean up' the whole op? or just start a new room. looking very clean in ur recent pics.

Your op is looking amazing my friend...

I really like your "flood bays"...

I moved the op...

The original flower room was built when I was on crutches... and should have been on a wheelchair...

So it wasn't the best of anything...

Far from water, far from power, carpet floor, in the hottest spot of the house.. etc... etc...

So I decided to do the big girls and needed a place to veg them...

So I moved to the couch and started a new room...

Eventually, all 4 lights made it in there... 1/2 SOG and 1/2 Trees...

But I must be honest with you...

As Beautiful as they are, and as much fun as it has been to experiment...

I will be switching back to my zero veg SOG...

Vegging moms under a 400w T5 and using the HIDs EXCLUSIVELY to make bud is just plain CHEAPER...

I can't afford to have so many watts to veg, when I can get the same yield "without vegging"...

Shame.. cause they are beautiful.. and the bigger they get, the more awesome they are...

Now... if I plan a little better... next Summer I may be able to veg some outside... and the bring them in to flower...

But as far as vegging indoors with HIDs, at lest for me... is not worth the extra dollars...

this made me laugh on another thread...

guess you had to be there...

but still...

it's got electrolytes...

Speakin of other threads...

Read the 0 veg stuff...

Fairly entertaining...that dude must feel emasculated already huh? Dewey put him over the edge
