Vex's Vault: Dual RADDWC Veg & Bloom Chambers, Various Strains, Dual LED

Re: Vex's Vault - Dual RADDWC Veg & Bloom Chambers - Various Strains - Dual LED

I made it, phew, nice 3D art happening. Great start Vex, I'm learning so much from your journals. I'll pull up my virtual chair designed with hot or cold cup holders and automatic lighter control. hahaha. :thumb:
Whoot, our girl G2HM in the hizzoouse! .

Thanks for the luv.

Hahaha, you know it!!

I'm going to use these snap on PVC tees in conjunction with elbows, and 3 way tees to help snap everything together easily. I'll then duct tape and screw each connection, instead of cement glue. I want to be able to disassemble easily if needed without a mess.

Pex tubing and shark bite connectors will give you lots of flexibility
Nice. Looking at PEX and Shark bite now, but only see 1/2" & 3/4" tubing. I'm aiming for 1" feed, and 2" return.

I appreciate the suggestion. This is great, exactly why I wanted to start the perpetual journal now, from the ground up!
 
I know you can get pex that big. We've used it a couple times for snow melt systems. We also source from wholesalers so I will look into retail outlets for it. Sharkbites, I'm not sure, but if they do they will be pricy to get them that big. I'm thinking threaded connections on the grow vessels shark bites for junctions and such. The tubing will spin freely in the shark bites allowing easy removal of threaded connections
 
Thanks again, Turbo. I'll look into PEX.

As for the Deweys, I'll have to measure one to be exact, but I'd say they are about 3 inches high, and the inlet is about 1" from base. Less water and nutes is always a plus.

I finished the dual RADDWC design. Let me know what ya'll think.?

The water pumps will pull from the reservoirs via 1" pipe, high pressure spray nozzles into totes, then drain back to reservoirs via 2" pipe. This should provided sufficient DO levels in the totes, but I will add a couple air stones in the reservoirs for safe measure.

Nice that gets me close enough.

Setup looks noice!
Positive delivery passive return. I'm trying to incorporate more undercurrent elements in mine.

Looks like you've got the totes double stacked. Care to tip your hand on that? I've been playing around with using something along those lines to manage roots in the recirc

Looks awesome! I'm going to have to use the 3D software for my design too. It looks too good!

Couple of questions:

what is your desired level in each grow tote and what technique are you using to maintain it?

How did you decide to put the Y strainer on the return?
