which page is the diagram for that on?
There's no way you will get decent spray with one 396 GPH pump to 40 sprayers! Sorry!
I've found the 396 to handle up to 20 ok.. with 22 the sprayers it was not powerful enough to completely spray 360 degrees. The ECO633 works great with 22--I don't know how it would handle with 40.... The 396 with 6-8 sprayers is working great for my cloning needs.
Just a thought: It might be nice to have the same pump for all - makes backup easier... (though I have chosen to run multiple sizes too). ...so while the AeroCloner may be able to get away with a smaller pump, the flower unit (14+) sprayheads can not. Now you need 2 types of extra pumps for emergencies... not really a big deal.
Note: The actual EZclone 30, uses a 500GPH pump for 17 sprayheads.

From many things Ive been reading plants use lux not lumens . lumens is how bright our eyes see light not plants. the color spectrum is acctually more important. these highpressure sodiums and metahalides only make about 10% of usable light for plants so 90% is wasted in heat and electric consumption. Ive been so sick of hearing people talk about how many lumens there lights put out. look it up everyone then call me out on it. not knocking anyone but its something you should all look into. This is why Im using l.e.d and flourecent. and maybe 1 or 2 hid lights. the leds put out red and blue thats what plants need. they need a little ultraviolet colors for resin production and fatter buds, thats where the hid lights come in (mh & hps) so Im going to use the led's and many cfl's to give the ultraviolet. I may use one or 2 hid lights untill I can afford to switch to all led's and cfl.Lumens do not add up. A 600 watt bulb puts out more lumens than a 150 watt bulb.
Bigger bulbs can cover a larger area. Please see table below for a generic coverage;
1000 Watt 6' x 6'
600 Watt 4' x 5'
400 Watt 2' x 4'
250 Watt 2' x 3'
150 Watt 2' x 2'
The 600 watt will also penetrate the top canopy of leaves better due to being brighter.
So moral of the story, the plants will get more of what they need(lumens) with a 600 watt.
With the 4 150's could hit about a 2 x 8 space approximately.
Check out my post #1713 a few pages back. i have a list of parts that i bought from lowes with upc and package codes. as far as the contactor you need to get that at a heating and cooling shop, lowes do not carry them anymore or at least thats what i was told when i inquired about them.Thanks for that andy.... im gonna get a big fat F in electrical wiring class...lol can you give a parts list? so that dumbasses like myself can walk into lowes and hand a piece of paper over to the man in the lowes vest. and once i have the parts i think the diagram might make a little more sense.
It does look kinda complicated on paper without the parts. Once parts in hand Im sure it will be easyer.Thanks for that andy.... im gonna get a big fat F in electrical wiring class...lol can you give a parts list? so that dumbasses like myself can walk into lowes and hand a piece of paper over to the man in the lowes vest. and once i have the parts i think the diagram might make a little more sense.
