Looks like it will be a frosty white Christmas for you Dabber! It's getting hairy in your grow space! Looking good brother!

 

[newty]

Looks amazing as usual Dabbs! Morning to you and the other northerners

Beauty day here, it's been pretty nice all week! I'm in for a camping cannabis cup in Alaska, the hubs and I have always wanted to visit up there I've always wanted to take the Alaskan highway which is just 40 minutes from me..

I'll pick up a Lilly girl while I'm there.

That's some serious flowering going on...hope that exhaust system is dialed in or you'll be sleeping on the floor in there

Oh and once you've caught up...water ring?

 

[legendpenrose]

Hay guys how do you see other people diary????

 

[Pennywise]

If you post in someone else's journal you should be subbed to That journal.

 

[legendpenrose]

Right so just tap on that post?

Most growers have their journals in their signature blocks, so you can click there to read them. If you want to subscribe you can post - something as simple as "Subbed!" or a comment on their grow would be nice too .

Found it buddy. Just browsing Roosters grow. OMG IM SO HAPPY HE IS WITH ME ON THIS hahaha

Yes I know... I lied .


So without further ado

DABBER' S DIY WATERING RING

first and foremost is the T connector

Don't take measurements for granted. Physically take this piece over to the tubing section and be 100% sure it fits!

The next step is to decide if you want 1 ring or 2 (inner and outter). The single ring requires one T the double THREE!

MEASURE CAREFULLY the DIAMETER you want the ring to be at its biggest point. Say your pot has a 10 inch diameter. If you want a 8 inch ring (diameter) just multiply your desired circumference by 3 and subtract one inch.

So we have our 10 inch pot. 8 inches is how big across we want our ring. 8 x 3 = 24.

24 - 1 = 23 inches of tubing.

Ps. This example is for the basic single ring.

For a second inner ring take your diameter, multiply by 3 then subtract TWO INCHES.

3 x 8 = 24 - 2 = 22 inches for the outter ring.

NOTE: the inner ring will only really work with 6 inch and larger outter rings, for this specific build.

The inner ring is calculated the same as the single outter ring..... Say we want a 5 inch inner ring. (5 x 3) -1 = 14 inches of tubing. You will also need a 2 or 3 inch splice piece to connect the two T joints to make an H shape.

Physics tells us the hole furthest from the intake will receive the lowest pressurized flow so initially I drilled more holes towards trhe far end of my loop. Then realized after using it, the loop being flat and having some back pressure allowed for them to flow relatively evenly. I suggest starting with fewer holes and running it in the sink until you find your ideal distribution of water....

Then just connect the T

Add a small splice of tubing and attach the funnel

Easy as can be and only 4 dollars in supplies. Likely less in the lower 48!

For the inner ring.


You want to take your outter tubing and say it's 22 inches (from previous example) cut that tube in half,and place a T connector on either end. Add your small splice piece to each T joint. One will have the funnel attached. On the other place another T joint.

This picture is a rough idea... obviously there should be another T adjacent to the ones shown where the water comes in... but the idea is to make a second smaller ring inside. Again it works better with larger pots, and larger outter rings....

But that's the idea!

Simple easy DIY and DOSENT look like a total hack job. Unlike my veg and flower enclosures

Excellent Them! Thanks for that and I can now stop asking . I wondered if you had compensated for the distance to the furthest holes but I should have known better than to doubt you.

Blog this baby so people can find it easily!

Heya neighbor how goes things?

Very cool ring ya got going on there my friend and yes tubing can be a PITA because some manufacturers use OD while others use ID just to piss ya off In plumbing they use ID for pipe and in refrigeration they use OD. So say a plumber wants a piece of 3/4 “ copper pipe he/she would ask for 3/4 copper pipe, now if a refrigeration tech wanted that same size pipe they would ask for 7/8 copper pipe lol yea I know, kinda dumb but that’s how it is.

Hope you had a great day brother, these temps are freaking awesome, your lucking out this winter so far, no -60f temps yet......let’s hope this keeps up the next 4 months hey

Blessed Buds our friend and be well

LILLY

ABBIE

She's looking frostier than Gloria so far. Maybe she can see what Lilly is doing and that was enough for her to try it herself

Hope everyone's day went well. I was busy getting the tree up. And correcting the little ones eagerness to wear all the tree dressings .

Hopefully can get a couple things finished up in the grow room tomorrow. Always something to improve!

Until next time may your plants prosper and buds swell

It’s not normal for us to above 0 (or nothing as I call it lol) in Dec. it’s normally below 0 and pretty much just gets colder from there. Oh ya, and for those of you that think once it’s 10 below it all feels the same......... well, all I can say to that is, you’ve not been in -65 f before then or it feels the same while your ass is sitting in your house

Heya Dabs, couple weeks and we stop loosing daylight......yahoooooo!!!
