That’s sick! How big is that bank? How many Kw you got in panels? I’m interested in your wifi relay setup. You got WiFi at your grow spot?

@Rhino_buddy. It’s a small system only about 1kw in battery storage and 280 watts worth of panels. I’m gonna end up changing it again soon.

Here’s a pics of a smaller system. 24hr supplemental light power.
Unfinished in picture but it was finished later but no pic.

Thanks for taking part bro.

While you’re here I have a question.

I have some Hawaiin Elephant and elephant Skunk dawg seeds. I saw a thread saying that pua mana was a fraud. Do you know anything about that?

Ya this 50-60 L/minute are not quiet can’t sleep next to one That’s for sure but their not bad IMO those that @Tommy_McCain show is almost the exact same one but it’s and AQUA AIR IIRCC May be the same manufacturer

I have the splitter that comes with them I think mine has manifold for like 8-10 air lines I only run 4 total 2 in each buck one in the bag and one out and can do 10 gallons easily heavy agitation 40-50$ maybe

I found an active aqua 1100 gpm for 54.17 locally. It should allow me to do 20 gallons later if I want to. I plan to make that airlift design. It’s looks pretty simple, and if it works the best, heck.

I could brew in the garage, but it’s cold enough now, I’m not sure how fast the micro life would multiply. The rest of the year would be great though.

Active aqua is the brand I have didn’t think that sounded right the first one I mentioned ya you need good air for the airlift to work well enough so you’d be golden with that one !

I know that there standing credit with locals here is crap. My friend was growing for 30 years here and we had a discussion about that company years ago. We believe that there selling lies. My friend said he knows nothing of Hawaiian Elephant, I asked him a few days ago.

Yea that’s a questionable company for sure. Pakalolo Seeds from Molokai Hawaii got some good genetics.

What kind of lights are you using? LEDs I’d assume.

Yes, they will for the most part all be similar. A pneumatic pump will be more than $100, so I would stay on the path you are on. I wouldn’t be able to sleep next to one, but putting it in the garage would be fine.

I got this elemental 1268 gph commercial pump @Tinytuttle. I’ve been so busy working, I finally opened it today. I haven’t decided whether I should just got get the plastic drum off CL, or put in a inline valve to reduce airflow and use a 5gal bucket for now. I should have plenty of air though.

Ya I’d go with the 5 gallon bucket easier to deal with move around etc… cleaning is much easier also

That is probably where I’ll start. This summer I may have to up size.
