I filled my reservoirs from a garden hose, unhooked it from the spigot, coiled it back up, adjusted my nute solution, patted my ladies on their pointy little heads, and went back home... I forgot two important things: One, the delivery end of the hose was still in the res. Two, the other end of the hose was coiled up on the ground several feet below the reservoirs... Can you say siphon?
I went back a few days later to fiddle with the tanks and discovered that they were EMPTY... I'm an idiot. I know this shit. My entire livelihood depends on fussing with pipes and hoses and tanks and siphoning is a fact of life... Slap me! Two time!
The only thing that saved me is that BOTH of my HIDs had blown that first day and I was already on supplemental flouro lighting, so no one died.
Still...:thumbsup:

So today I was tending the new clones, wondering why they were getting yellow so fast on me, and so I turn my thermometer around and its 95 degrees in my dome. And I realize I hadnt checked the actual temp in probably 3 days. How did I not? No idea. Then I was watering, hit my head on the lamp and broke a piece of my light mover. Then I realized some of those little buttons on my timer got pushed in, resulting in a 15 minute dark period in the middle of the "day". Yes, I am a Rating: 5
