pshshhhhh yall arent even close to me and infin8's level of insanity..

listen bud.  let me give u a quick answer here.

ive long pondered on ways to rehydrate for a second flush.

as you know, i coined the "punisher tek" which is just spraying the shit out of a substrate with the dish sprayer. 

lew had this technique he called "floating lotus" where you just let your substrate float for a few days.  i had that one backfire on me once and it got really rank.  fishy smell.  anaerobic. it does seem to help though if you dont over do it.

shit id say go for it. i dont think its really practical for most people but i can tell youre insane and like to over engineer things so:

i dont really think you need to throw it away though. just rip it out of the sub when youre done. they make that laser perforated drip tube i think would maybe work.  might be kinda hard getting it to "lay down" and not poke through the surface. 

a netafim manifold would be pretty insane.  maybe like four peices running the length? takes some pressure to really work right though..

then theres the issue with the POC.  youll need some pressure to really get it to work right.  most little fountain pumps or swamp cooller pumps are high volume low pressure (hvlp)

i think for the best result, youd connect it to the house plumbing and use line pressure.  1/4" copper line would be adequate i would think.  or a 3/8 braided connected to a toilet valve?

lol.  am i getting rediculous eough yet? im just getting started.

youll need to control it running somehow so youll use a 3/4" irrigation valve. i recommend hunter. fuck rainbird.

okay now how to control it.  well you could use a shitty little irrigartion controller or a hunter SVC and a dc latching solenoid, but i think generally the shortest run time any irrigation controller has is 1 minute minimum.

hmm... you could use a short interval timer.  BN-link timer with a 5 second minimum would do it.  plug a 24v transformer into it and youre off to the races!

what do you mean?  im a commercial irrigation tech so when you say drip irrigarion, i think like.. poly pipe with emitters or netafim.

Yeah. Essentially putting drip pipes into the sub, layered, and optimizing the drip/pump to keep it hydrated instead of just focusing on surface conditions. Of course the drip tubing will be tossed at the end of each tub but it addresses sub moisture at the root.

Something like a vivosun kit or just a bespoke simple kit.

Moisture should all be there for a first flush, and mycelium is its own irrigation network. 

If i were to do something like that it would be a mister not a drip tube

um.. dont you dare bring my pc into this
it still works like a champ i love that thing

but sure man.  the b-link timer with a littke submersible fountain pump..

tell ya what.  if you make a thread ill help you spitball this and ill show you the products im talking about. 

we're going to piss everyone off if we carry on like this.

i kno cakewonder is gnna blow a gasket for me askin this but, is there really any benefit to the classic verm layer with hole poked lid over just a sfd modified lid with no verm layer?

Is this ok to use with all this sediment in it? I used a premix agar/lme powder and added 1/2 gram of peptides. PC'd for 30 minutes @ 15 psi.

So how long after you built your PC was it before you found out you needed to close the pressure release valve?

How long ago was this inoculated?
