N420 Grows Barney's Farm Orange Sherbert & Special Guests

Well my first test run of the siphon pump worked great! It runs on batteries so all you have to do is stick it in the buckets and turn it on. I was able to drain my buckets and refill them with the pump it was so much easier to do then lifting them out of the buckets and risk breaking branches like I've done in the past :rolleyes: It was $15 well spent and so far I highly recommend it.
Here is a picture of it I got mine at CT but you can get them on Amazon as well.

I’ve seen those before but I decided on one that was non electric. Too much hassle by hand.

The first time I found out about them was on here @Old Salt was using it to change his DTW res. That was a year ago not sure if he still uses one or not but it will make the next few weeks in the tent alot easier.

Ya this one isn't the fastest didn't really keep track but think it took about 2 mins to pump 3 gallons of water.

I used it to get rid of the run off. I found that it left about 3/16" water in the trays. Once I get the new feed system going, I'll revisit the drain pump system.

Your right I can't quite get all of the water out using the pump but still a pretty handy little thing. I couldn't remember how exactly you were using it so thanks for letting me know. How has it held up over the time you have used it ?
 
I used it for just about two grows before the impeller was too loose to use it. I've used a 12VDC gear pump for the last five grows.

What size batteries?
 
Catching up! Plants look great, and what about a Home Depot wet/dry bucket head vac? It sucks water a lot faster with no batteries to replace...just plug it in!

What a great idea Shed! I never knew such a thing existed. When my pump thing wears out ( and I know it will ) it will definitely be on my shopping list.
 
Meant to do another video update on the journal with the dslr camera because the video quality is alot better then the phone. Shot the video last night but now I can't transfer the video to my phone unless I buy an $80 adapter :rolleyes: I don't have a computer at home all we use are phones and tablets for internet surfing. We bought my wife a work laptop but it doesn't come home with her so it looks like it's back to phone videos.

Hey Magic good to see you bud. I've been pretty sick myself for the last couple of weeks and haven't been on 420 for awhile starting to come out of it so should be getting some updates done soon.
 
It's going around whatever it is. Every third journal I stop by has someone suffering from the funk.

Hope you're on the mend!
