    Right chaps, I need someone’s help lol.

    I’ve re-set up my irrigation without those stupid trays lol, I still have 2 lines per pot but they’re aimed at different places just squirting water when the pump kicks in. As soon as the timer shuts off, along with the pump shutting off it still syphons out

    Any ideas how to stop the syphoning? Is there a type of valve or something I can get to poke in to my 25mm tube?

    Try having a loop in the tubing hung vertically. Low enough to let the pump do its work and too high for syphoning to happen.

    Hi Bethmeg, I had one of these but I found it was super loose fitting in my pipe? And even after tightening it all up I found it leaked a little bit. I’ve ordered another but similar part so hopefully it should do the job

    Hi all, quick question because I’m in a bit of a pickle

    Currently extracting back in the the garage air, but I’m getting a bit of damp on my new stud wall that I have. It’s finally given me a kick up the arse to get my tile vent sorted but the issue is they only have a 4 inch connection, and my extraction is 10 inch.

    I only have my extraction running at about 30/40% and that’s more than enough for my tent, so do you think it would be ok to get a reducer? I’ve looked for a 10” to 4” but I can’t find any. My only option is 10” to 6” then a 6” to 4”. Do you think this would work? As I don’t have any more ideas

    Well after all that, the wife is making me downgrade back to a smaller tent hahaha it was fun while it lasted but with the bigger tent comes more equipment and more space to heat up we have definitely seen a rise in our electric bill unfortunately. Never mind I still have the room in the garage so I think it’s back down to a 1.2 x 1.2.

    It’s not all doom and gloom I have been eyeing up a Alien Rain System, they look the bees knees but also have a hefty price tag. I will see if the downgrade has its perks haha
