Still chillin'.
The flower room is hand-watered and will be out of necessity; the plants and pots are all different sizes and different strains and they all use different amounts of water.
However the top shelf of my veg closet, where everyone is in little 3" pots hanging out, could use a nice little mini drip-to-waste system. It's a real bitch trying to get in there with a watering can. There's not that much space!!!
Edit: lol I was going to say just email... then you edited!!!
ahhh, rats. i didn't even think about that. But your right, its better cuz variety really is better. I'm almost sick of this AK, but its really nice and it makes some killer bub hash. email
Hey you know what though woman, listen to this.
If you just do ALL coco, then you can plant them in the same drip system as long as the strenght required is close. then just go recirc, then wa-la your done.
word...tracking....
love the AK end result though.
i know, thats what keeps it (ak) around...
Nice system. I have to go on a much smaller scale. I hope the guy at the fert shop ordered some more 4'x18" or whatever size they were trays, that look like they are ideal for the space. I am even considering a small gravity-fed system! Let me draw a crappy diagram... hahaha I suck as bad as my camera... double suckage!!!
here it sux
Actually now that I think about it recirc is going to be easier to stuff in that space.
yeah, i like the set up. It will work well, you just have to make sure there is enough fluid to keep the pump "wet" while its pumping. But yeah, you dont even need drippers if you fashion up your own drip rings like i did.
EDIT: just move the gravity fed thingy over to the other side, and you wont have to pump so far, and its just easier, maybe?
does that ttray ur getting have pump and drain hoples?
That pic contains 2 different potential setups.
The res shown on the right, that would be for drip to waste, with the lower res being for waste.
The alternative is to use the lower res for nutes in a recirc fashion. It would then have a pump and pump to emitters in each pot.
Yeah I know about wetting the pump from my dithering around with flood/drain.
Tray is not predrilled but Foxy's a handy chick.
