Yeah perfect . Be sure to let some "let off" from the pump if you are only using one or two stones because she will be strangled for air will heat up and eventually burn out

I allways went with 1200- 1500 lph per pot might be overkill but in my eyes the more DO the better
Good luck mate

Ok what i mean by that is . Those pumps are made for high output . If you only have one stone running . Pressure builds and heats up motor and diaphragm pops . So best you have a minimum of 4 stones running or 2 big round ones .

So if you hwve a header that comes with it . Best you get a few valves and let some blow off a bit of pressure . Mine got hot in 3 minutes ,once i put a few extra stones on she colled down and ran properly .

1.4 ms is 1.4 EC in total . Check the charts for ppm/tds

See ,a ms means micro siemen , unit of measure of conductivity , 1 ms equals 1,000,000 ohms per sq cm . So if one has a electrical multi meter can do it . Place.probs at 1cm from eachother . I tried it but if you move even a mm you fuck your reading up and can end up destroying a crop . I have a pinched nerv in my left arm and have a twitch so thats out of the questions
