Looking forward to setting this up, after my current grow.

This is the current setup, 6 plant, Active Aqua Grow Flow (Ebb and Flow).

Just purchased another 6 pot expansion kit and after this grow is finished will be setting this up in the 5 X 5.
At present the control pot sits inside the tent but going to move it outside of the tent, see drawing below. Have to add extra nutrient solution, at present adding 30 gallons for the six plants and will increase that to 39 to 42 gallons. Also looking into adding another reservoir as a refill rez to keep the primary rez filled, just that to figure out how to set it up. So all you smart guys out there, HELP! :19:
I will also have to split a port using a 1/4 inch Tee on the Orbit 8 port manifold. Don't think that will be a problem as long as I keep the hoses the same length, the pump I am using should handle the extra pot with no problems.
Here is the proposed setup! Adding three 5 gallon buckets and will need extra 3/4 inch hose but not problem as it comes with the kit. Only thing that is still needed is two 3/4 inch tees but next time I go to the city will pick them up at Lowes.

I'd keep it 6 max on the plant count. They're 7 "medium" size plants in the 5x5 below and it's more than there should be. You'll only be able to veg 3-4 weeks max with 9 and it will still be very crowded.other than that the setup sounds good.

Thanks, I see your point. Yes I know I will need to start flower early, and wish I had with this current grow, although it is working fairly well at this point. What size pots are you using and are you doing ebb and flow or DWC?
I am considering doing this grow as an 8 top manifold/fluxing/mainline grow. I hate the term mainlining but it is what everyone knows. That would give me 72 tops to work with. It may be too much but really want to try it.
