Awesome - that didn't take you long at all!

I need to make one of those before we go on vacation - actually I need a vacation to build that so we can go on vacation!.

Would it be too much trouble for you to do a video of your design - especially the control of the flow rate and timers if any.

Is it automatic flow? Continuous flow? Are there sensors to prevent under-watering/over-watering?

This is strictly used as a transfer pump, I don't trust it on a timer (my grow area is above a finished living space)

I have a rough idea of how much I need to fill the res, but I'll mix a few gallons of nutrients in gallon jugs, pour in res, then plug it in.
I tend to stuff around the garden until I see runoff, or hear the res sucking dry.

Takes about 5 min to drain out 5 gal.

Totally possible to rig it up on timers, I just don't run mine that way. Pretty sure @Derbybud can field those questions better than me.

I'll gladly throw together a vid on building the base system. I can make a parts/price list as well

Here's a few shots from the veg box tonight. Hope to see The White OG and Somango above the surface tomorrow.

Looks like these Alaskan Purple want to be the stars of the show.

Shinin' like a diamond in a goat's ass!

 

[Chris Scorpio]

So u run the water completely out of all the clear lines, every watering,?

I'd be concerned on goopies inside those clear lines

But that looks exactly like my auto system
Coo coo coooool

 

[Preston9mm]

New life!

Still waiting on another White OG, and Somango to surface. Both had good tap roots when I planted, they should be up soon...

Haven't seen any action on the Amnesia Haze auto seed; it's been in the paper towel for a couple days now.

I dropped another.

Frosty the snowman!

So with running with a timer look for either a better one that does seconds or add a mixing port with a shut off that you can crack open to keep things drip watering not blast watering. I keep things around 2 gallons in 4 min. That's a nice drip on 4 plants. I feed 3 or 4 times a day in coco and only when lights are on. Ask questions guys as these simple systems work and can be back savers and vacation makers.

 

[Derbybud]

Does hours, minutes, and seconds. Capable of 7 programs

I’ve had my eye on that white OG. I’ll be interested to see the results.

Garden is firing Braddah P! Brah that Alaskan purple is ridiculous and she still got time to pack on more resin. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the white og!! She was a stretcher at the flip..

Hope you are having a blessed day my Braddah!

Only shot one picture this morning...

I think I've finally found the sweet spot for this space. I could probably fit 6 pots in here comfortably, but would be constantly worried about over-growing the room again.... that would lead me to flip early & really diminish the potential of the plant.

I'll be dancing around this # of plants for awhile. No reason to cram em in.

Mine are very similar to yours. They are kinda squatted and never really stretched as much as I was hoping. I was wondering If my temperature was to low at night. What temps are you were ranging?
Or maybe it’s all misjudged perspective...

I'm in the mid 70's all the time. Anywhere from 71°-78°

Same. Just thinking the low 70s may slow them down at night.

Thanks @Preston9mm ,

I really think you're onto something here!

I know there are a bunch of DIY drip systems out there - but this is in-house and could really be improved on for everyone here at 420 to benefit from.

It might still be the early stages of your design, but I think it warrants its own thread so you guys can improve upon it.

What do you think?
