I have this lady chilling outside. When I took cuts, I cut her down wrong, and left a couple branches. I decided to toss her outside and see what happens.
She’s special
“Oh the humanity!”
I burnt my finger while cooking dinner. Did pork chops and roasted potatoes on the fire pit. Shit turned out sooooo good
How’s the auto watering system working out?
The seeds just went into soil. None had broken soil before I went to bed. I wanna give them time to build enough roots to keep them from drowning.
I’ll definitely make a note when everything starts running. I still need to do a test run.
Just did a test run of the pump and drip setup. I let it run for 5 minutes, idk how much water I put in the bucket.
There were no leaks in any of the joints, which I’m happy about. But I think it’s too many sites for the pump to handle, so might eventually get a second and split the circuit in half. The one’s furthest from the pump seemed to not get as much water as the ones closer.
First pic is how I had it at first.
Second pic is how I just redid it.
It works a little better than before.
You could try something like this. I run all lines exact same length even if one pot is closer than another, keeps pressure mostly even. Also make sure all the drippers are at the same height. Off by 3" makes a big difference.
I’ll keep that in mind. This is my first time messing with this stuff. I’m surprised it works as well as it does lol
Makes it very easy, and nice when you can head out of town for a week + at a time.
Yeah, I’m in need of a vacation, but someone gotta care for the plants.
I have a cheap wifi camera and wifi outlet/switches. If I’m somewhere and see the ec getting to high I can turn on a small pump in a 5gal bucket to pump water into the res. If you have any questions, let me know. I will try to answer them as best as possible.
We can’t get any ‘decent’ WiFi here and it sucks ass. We’re “to far” out of range for Comcast.
Someone here has mentioned starlink a few times. Probably not cheap, but to keep an eye on the ladies may be worth it if you could do single month subscription.
I thought about getting a phone from Verizon or something and use the hotspot
Hey do you have an Amazon link for this or something? I wanna check it out.
bnafes Aquarium Air Valve 12 Way Inline Manifold Air Flow Pump Tubing Splitter Lever Control Valve https://a.co/d/c3gPHUu
That’s just one of the first ones I found on there.
Mine done leak a tiny bit now from the valves but very very little, a few drops when the pump runs maybe.
I have a plastic one I’m not using. The end would have to be glued/epoxied on.
I just wanna check out some extra options, just in case. I’m also bored
I don’t have shit for internet either. So you’re not alone. My mobile hotspot can run everything ten times faster than the garbage contractless internet I’ve tried, lol. Guess that’s the price we pay for our rural peace!
