Well, that didn't take long. I just did the drip test with the wick in a cup of water letting the ends hang in a bowl. One end was singed to seal, and the other end cut at an angle. Both ends are dripping water. So I should be good to go.
When it comes time to replace the wicks, I will not seal them up. I bought extra wick for replacing when needed.

Wow what size room is that, t looks so open and big. Excellent space there and the girls are looking very happy and getting chunky.I think these are going to be one of those game changer kinda doodads for me on the PITA watering during the winter.
I did the wicks in the method suggested by you guys, and I'll test out that sealed ends thing in a bit.
Here's the girls sitting atop their new elevated homes. I'm hoping this is going to get the humidity in the room up some too. We'll see on that.

Thanks!
It's a standard size spare bedroom. I've used it exclusively for plant and shroom grows. Everything can be taken down quickly if I need the room for something else. That grow platform in about 12 feet long useable length...or so.
They are getting bigger, gotta love that after all they've been through. ;-)
LadyC. I forgot to mention that when I got my bases the water indicators did not work properly. They kept getting stuck indicating full even when the bases were nearly empty. I had to give them a little pluck with my finger to make the indicator sink to show the actual water level.
I contacted AC Infinity and they sent replacements, but they looked just like the ones that I got initially. I haven't got around to trying them to see if they work as advertised.
This was not a show-stopper for me. There are other ways to determine how much water in present, like (duh) taking off the lid and looking inside!
I singed the ends of my lines in my coco grow and they worked fine. AC Infinity recommends singing them to keep them from unraveling.

When I put them together, I had to tap the indicator on two of them to shake the little float bar loose inside. Thanks for verifying that for me. So far they are reading well, but I'll just give em a tap now and then if needed. No biggy here. I can see the water level just looking down into the vents, if I have to.LadyC.

I grew more Autos than I remembered. 
From years ago included "Pyramid Purple" and the following:
Auto Purple- Sativa 65%, mix of Purple x Ruderalis, THC 9-13%, 70 days seed to flower
Purple Cheese- Indica dominant, Purple #1 x Blue Cheese x Lowryder, THC High, 60-80 days seed to flower
Cash Crop- Mainly Indica, Northern lights x Big bud x Ruderalis, THC 22%, 70 days seed to flower
Original Sensible Seeds
Auto Purple- Indica dominant, Afghan Purple x Ruderalis, 12-16% THC, 50-55 days seed to flower
And a mix of the following, but not sure which ones actually grew out. LOL
White Dwarf- Indica dominant (Ruderalis/Indica) 60 days from seed to flower
Red Dwarf- Indica dominant with some sativa 60 days from seed to flower
Deimos- Indica dominant (Northern lights x Afghan something x ?) I couldn't find too much info. 60-65 days seed to flower
Syrup- 50% Indica, THC 15%, ruderalis x indica, 60-65 days seed to flower
and Fruit Automatic from Dinafem.
And White Cookies....I believe those were from Crop King Seeds

Feck - how do you remember all those?
I've been growing for 40+ years and I can only remember a handful of strains
Jack Herer, Green Crack, Northern Lights, Lamb's Breath, Blue Dream, Girl Scout Cookies, White Widow
No idea what the other strains were

I had to go find some old portable hard drives that I hid my weed photos on. Found them hidden in a food photography folder, with a sub folder for "candy", and a subfolder within that labeled "green candy". LOLFeck - how do you remember all those?

Plus referencing old journals for strain names. I didn't do a great job of of naming my photos when I uploaded back then, so searching my gallery with thousands of photos is futile. Actually....I did a horrible job of it.
I have run soooooo many strains. Blue Dream was a favorite, and White Widow was the all time favorite. There was one called THC Bomb that kicked my arse, and it seems White Cookies was another potent ass bud. (not to mention some fabulous colorful buds)

I'm going to be adding 1 tsp. per gallon of liquid Epsom (Magnesium) to my regular nutes and water routine. This to prevent (hopefully) any early leaf yellowing like I had in the last photo period grow. I don't want to add too much, because then it will limit uptakes of calcium from what I've read. True?
Anybody disagree with that amount per gallon?

We're going back in time......
I wanted to find pics of that THC Bomb plant. This was in my basement grows back then (2016). I did not do any training to that plant, and it grew to 7 foot tall. It just went crazy and I had to bend the top down to keep it from hitting the light that I could not move up any more. That was a Mars Hydro blurple at the time.
I made seeds from THC Bomb and crossed it with Master Kush. The last photo is the cross after trimming and giving a bit of Christmas cheer. LOL
Sure wish I had all of those seeds now.

I blurpled quite a few myself back when. Always thought those lights were beautiful!

It's surprising how quickly, and young, they will sucknthe water up from the base. At your size/age, I'd be doing half topwater and half in the base. Might only take 2 waterings that way and then off to the races with the bases.
It does help to soak the wicks before putting the pots on the bases

The humidity in the grow room did come up after installing those watering bases. The low RH in the room overnight was 42%, which is much higher. I think when I turn the light up to full power and the heat goes up, it will get even higher. I hope. LOL
Royal Gorilla is doing very well with her training. She was topped also.

Thanks! I did make sure the wicks were soaked before I put the pots on them.
I will follow that suggestion on continuing with some top watering for sure.
The tsp of epsom per gallon is a good dose to fix mag def. I wonder if a constant dose is good though? I fear after a while balance may go off.

You are correct. I just found that in the user manual that comes with the bases. So, I will just continue to singe those ends as I replace when needed.I singed the ends of my lines in my coco grow and they worked fine. AC Infinity recommends singing them to keep them from unraveling.
Thanks!

I share your point of view there. I might just add it every third watering or so, I'll see how the plants react. Just seems that I get that leaf yellowing early on since I've been using the FFOF soil, and it's been said that it needs extra cal/mag.
