Been getting my ass kicked trying to hand feed my current grow, commute 3 hours a day and theres just no time. Have all the platforms and waste issues worked out. Now its time to automate the feeding. Would like to do atleast 2 per day.
Just ordered this kit from floraflex
Was looking for recommendations on a good timer (and how to integrate it lol).
following. great question.
Edit: Is that all you were wondering about?
Nice, thanks.
So do you just cut it on and time it until you get good runoff and just schedule timings for that long?
Yeah, you can set it down to the second and maybe 18-20 different feeds per day if you wanted.
Edit: I just mean it’s able to have 18-20 different times set. I wouldn’t feed 18-20 times per day. Haha
Smaller feeds and more of them spread out is a better option those nearpows I believe can set up to 19 events. Allows you to stack your ec and then level them out to run off by the end of your feeing time usually 2 hours before lights off is what I like to do. You’ll want to taper later in flower.
Ordered that timer, thanks!
I think i’ll stick with 2 or 3 for now, dont want to fly too close to the sun
If you want more info on automating to feed coco, just let me know. I can take pics and show you exactly what I have setup and whatnot. It’s easy stuff, but can be frustrating until you’ve seen it. Once you see it, you’re like “Ahhhh, duhh.” Haha
I’ll definitely take you up on that when everything arrives. Thanks dude!
You got photos of your setup? I’d like to see it. Got me all kinda of curious.
I’ll go take some. I’m a little toasted, but it’s not too tough. Haha.
Here we are:
Edit: Error uploading a few of the pics/files, so give me a second to see which ones and put them in here.
Ahh I’m doing just like you then submersible pump and a brute trash can? Yes I love it.
Here is a shot of the rezzy I plumbed up. Hose option as well as a drip option. Also have it setup to to mix nutes I hate using a drill or a big ass boat oar I used to use lol
Had to take from IG. My pup decided to end my old phone with my photos of the system.
Forgive this one. Best shot I had of the rest in action. Miss my old phone. Haha
Sweet setup!!!
I’m rebuilding and switching tent setups after this, so definitely adding an elbow and shutoff valve to make
mixing easier. The paint paddle gets old for sure. Haha.
Haha yes… I want it to mix itself for sure. Sitting there with a drill wasn’t even my bag… Haha
Those cheapy ball valves changed the game.
What kinda of drip emitters are you using? Netafim? They look similar to mine. How many gph?
Yep, Netafim for sure. I have the 2 gph jr woodpeckers in there now. I had the red (I think .2 gph woodpeckers), but that was too slow and had the pump running too much for me. Haha.
Doesnt it raise ph when you aerate? Will that effect the solution for coco?
Air stones yes… Waterfall no.
