Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!
I had one and got rid of it after my first grow. They're a PITA to use, and the impeller slips.
I know DrD uses one, but don't know the brand. I'm sure he can tell us the pros and cons of his. 
I got mine at Princess Auto here in Canada.I know DrD uses one, but don't know the brand. I'm sure he can tell us the pros and cons of his.
Those plants in veg definitely missed your touch, but the flower girls look great!!!! Back to your reality...

Amazon says "You purchased this item on April 27, 2018." so that's the same one I got. I'm on my second one now due to the cheapness. I mix my nutes in a 5 gallon bucket and use the transfer pump just to load a watering can so the more forceful (faster) the better, but I have used it to directly water the plants without issues. It's pretty weak, but I use generic Amazon batteries and I've noticed that it slows down quite a bit over time, so with good batteries it might indeed be too strong.
You need that copper top... you know the ones trusted by fire fighters and astronauts...? I mean if it's good enough for NASA isn't it good enough for you?

LOLOLOLOL!
This one has a flow control. At minimum, it fills up a 500ml container in a bit less than a minute. I’m thinking to put it on my digital timer for a minute a day when I have to work out of town.

I was worried about giving them too strong nutes. I didn't want the kid to have to mix individual gallons so he mixed 5 gallons with 1 Tbs MegaCrop and CalMag (about 3 grams per gallon of MC) for the veg plants. I thought it would be enough to keep them green and fresh but I guess not. The small revegging Sour G seem to be perfect though, which is why I made the nutes so weak.
They also were a bit fried from a week or two of spraying with soap without dimming the lights. They'll be fine soon enough, after seeing all the other clones I'm kind of glad they got a bit stunted to let the others catch up before flowering in a week or three.
I realize you haven't had your normal dose of meds doc, is the DeLorean in NASCAR now?
Not put in by Bill Barr?
I forgot we were all spraying the bugs, I mean plants, that Shed brought....
Beware of Sheds bearing gifts. BYON.

Thanks Shed! That pump looks good, but the cheap plastic puts me off, plus it’s not actually cheap here (would cost me $45). I think it’s the same as the one HH had and she said hers was a bit feisty for in the tent.
That’s exactly the kind of thing i’m thinking about Filipe
