how would the net restrict you from watering?i have a noobie question.. when you use a net like that how do you water?
do you have a catch pan.. if so what about the run off.
im stupid i did not ask if you were in soil.. my bad.
how i have to water my plants i cant use a net.. so was just trying to figure out how i could. as im sure im gonna need it.
chris.
you really need to get yourself automated@Wisher619 right now i have to remove the plants from my tent to water/feed. im on crutches.. best i can do for now.
with a net, im not sure how i would empty the run off.
ill look into that when the time comes i guess.
thank you for taking the time to respond to another stupid question from me.
chris.
you really need to get yourself automated
it is extremely easy
even easier if you are growing organic or soil with no nutrients
in any case you would set up a 25gal tote outside the tent
get yourself a pump and some drip lines and a timer
if you are in soil just put some saucers under your plants
and with soil you don't need runoff to much...unless you are using nutrients...in which case you can run an enzyme to break down salts so you really don't need to water till runoff...maybe just a dribble...which will evaporate
the way I set up my catch basin is when ever it filled up...I would just get a bucket and a pump with hose and drop the pump into the basin and fill up the bucket
but I now have it on an electronic float valve so when it hits a point it kicks on the pump and it pumps the fill outside into the flower bed
sounds like you need some help
especially on crutches
Well said. That's how I try to live my life. I wish more people could understand it. I guess some people are analytical and some people are emotionaleverything in life is just data
when we learn to process data without prejudice then we can learn from every situation
I agree with you 100% @EventHorizan
all experiences are learning experiences
bad or good
for soil .....as it dries oxygen fills ini like that idea. yeah man im doing the best i can.. im waiting for the surgeon to clal my dumb ass. laughs.
my help is by request. i have to make appointment laughs, family busy with life.
im in soil and using micros and a basic fert.. i thought i had to do the 20 percent to get good oxygen into the soil.

for soil .....as it dries oxygen fills in
when we are using something like coco or RW where it is constantly wet
you want the runoff to push out spent and builtup nutes and replenish O2
but not so with soil
I would like some advice. Lol. I'm hand waterinbin coco and need to figure out a better way starting next round. I'm already 4 weeks into flower on currentthe reason i am asking you these questions is i have a feeling that we could prob give you some advice on a watering system for your coco, dtw, that would prob give you 2x the growth in veg that you just had. more watering's a day means quicker hydro growth.
most def we can help you! What size is your grow area? Nutes? shoot me a shot of your garden.I would like some advice. Lol. I'm hand waterinbin coco and need to figure out a better way starting next round. I'm already 4 weeks into flower on current

It's a detached "shed" 10x10 aluminum stud frame insulated and mostly wrapped with panda film. The pics are from different times and to show different angles, shelves what not.most def we can help you! What size is your grow area? Nutes? shoot me a shot of your garden.

As far as nutes I am using Advanced Nutrients ph perfect Coco. Hobbyist bundle plus some extras. Have been happy with it mostly once I figured it out
Hahah. Yup. I have a 12000 but ac hooked up also great for exhausting air. I have i power 1000w mh/hps. Wing reflector. Temps stay what I want them with the ac I keep the light about 20" away. Temps never go past 80. Surface temp with gun is 65-72 pic with homer buckets is when I first built and was seeing how hot it would get. Now in 3x3 tray and I want to run 2 eventuallyi think you forgot to post pics lol... How do u cool it and what kind of lights u got?
you got a good setup there! We can do something with that!Hahah. Yup. I have a 12000 but ac hooked up also great for exhausting air. I have i power 1000w mh/hps. Wing reflector.

Ya bro that sounds exactly what I want. Just hadn't mapped it out in glad you can help. Lol. Ya if you see the 2 shelves in back I was planning on taking the lower one out to leave it open for veg/mom. So you're saying foam board will keep the light out if I'm flowering in the main area? I guess I can wrap that in panda as well.you got a good setup there! We can do something with that!
2 things...
1. you should make a clone mom area where you have the shelf.. You could use foam board to make it,, couple hinges and a tube of liquid nail for a door.
2. all u need for the dtw, is some 2x4 to build a lil table to hold 2 of your trays... you make the table high enough that you can fit a low profile tote under it.
You take another tote and put it off to the side... You buy a pump $15, a timer $10, and manifold... Some tubing and floracaps...
U put the pump in the 2nd tote and hook it to a timer, when it turns on it pumps water thru the hose to the manifold, thru each drip line to the floracaps of each plant, what run off comes out bottom of pot runs down in the tray thru a hole we will make, down into the bottom tote under the table you built. Each week you will dump that one... Simple as cooking rice!
