Which automatic watering system while travelling for 1-2 weeks (closet tent, 2 plants)?
MonkeyDonkeystarted grow question 4 years ago
1.) Which specific systems are proven effective and safe (commercial or DIY)?
2.) Will pH change over days if adding pH +/- to a water tank?
3.) Would you leave the plants for 1-2 weeks with the system running (LED, fans, electricity, potential danger of short circuit/fire?)

Setup a pump on a timer is about all you can do. Make sure you have a fan that isnt digital so it comes back on in the event of a power outage, so your plants and lamp have their air flow and dont overheat. Make sure it's not a chinese lamp as I would not trust leaving anything that turns on with electricity that was built in china. Best answer to your question is have a friend you can trust take care of your babies. Cheers

Auto pots have a great reputation for being able to run unattended for long periods of time...just be sure to have a reservoir big enough to compensate for the plants and how much they drink on a daily basis. Also a timed recirculating drip system would also work...again make sure reservoir is plenty big enough for the time you are gone.
Hope this helps.

When Should I Consider More CO2?I flower my plants in a mylar lined box, roughly 2' deep by 4' wide by maybe 6' tall, using two 300W Mars Hydro LEDs.
With that amount of light on the plants, would you recommend more light, or CO2 supplementation, and if so how much?

Humidity too low, any ways getting 60% without a humidifier?I am struggling to get my humidity high enough as it keeps trying to fall to 30-40% and I'd like it to be above 60% - any good tips how to do this and how much it will affect the plant? Laundry hanging near tent gives ~10%+, I've also tried misting some water every few hours.

Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?Setup. Seedling
