At some point, I'm going to fuck this up. Let me be clear about that. <img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />What we have here is the start post, and I'll add to it as I go along. I'm going with the perpetual/on-going idea in journaling for this 4x4 tent, as I kind of like that having all things in one place for me deal. Tuh-may-toe, tuh-mah-toe, whatevs.Here's what I'm working with, schematic-style. Not exactly to scale or position, but for general reference. It's your basic setup for the most part with a few tweaks.[ATTACH=full]1914391[/ATTACH]Now for the splainin part. <img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />Overview:- (4) 5gal buckets- Buckets use the full netpot lid- Buckets have 3/4" supply, and 2" return lines- Each supply and return has a control valve for bucket isolation in case of "emergency"- Each bucket supply enters bucket from top at a 90* angle, uses "waterfall" effect- Each bucket also has a medium airstone for even more air- Res has 2 air diffusers (the super micro bubbles for further oxygenation- BlueLab Guardian continuous monitoringAdditional tweaks:- From the pump, the supply hits a cross with a valve on each side. Straight through is the main supply. To the left is a valve which is normally closed and is for draining the system. To the right is another valve which is a feedback loop. If I need to decrease flow to the buckets, I can bleed some off and back into the res. If need be, I can also direct all flow back to the res temporarily for whatever reason. Main purpose is for adjusting the flow to the buckets though. Pump is an Eco396Bucket air pump is a DanherRes air pump is an Eco AirPlus2Plumbing: from the pipe-gettin store <img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />Lighting:- Growers Choice ROI-E680 w/controller (I like toys, just sayin)Nutrients:2 options, undecided:- GH Flora Trio, and friends- Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow/Bloom, and friendsMega Crop (from GreenLeaf) is interesting, but not sure I want to roll it on the first run in this new setup.Run 1 Strains:- Grandaddy Purple (Grandaddy Purple)- Candyland (Emerald Triangle)- Strawberry Lemonade (Barney's Farm)- Blue Dream (Humboldt Seed Org)Misc Tent Supplies:- (2) 8" USB powered oscillating fans- (1) 8" mini floor fan- (1) 6" AC Infinity S6- (1) 6" Carbon filter- various ratchet hangers- various ventilation parts/ducting- various connectors, power strips (w/usb ports <img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" />), and whatnots- spare water and air pumps, plus tubing/connectors- backup light in case of emergency (cheap blurple, but it's a backup not a permanent)- and other various shit that I probably didn't need but Bezos made me <img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />I have all the parts I need (yeah, right... <img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/emojione/rolleyes.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />) on hand, or arriving by tomorrow (5-pack of 3/4" uniseals for the buckets, since I just changed that on the fly from 1/2".)Now it's time to get to buildin this out. With the time I have, I'm guessing it's going to take me a couple weeks to get things rolling and seed poppin ready. Hopefully when it's poppin time, these will actually pop. Unlike (it seems as least) the "free" autos off my main seed order. ("Lé sigh" -Peppe LéPew)Off we go, at a turtle pace. <img src="/community/styles/420style/smilies/44.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":snowboating:" title="Showboating    :snowboating:" data-shortname=":snowboating:" /></blockquote>
