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.

3-in-1 grow tent explorationI would appreciate input from fellow growers who have ACTUAL EXPERIENCE using 3-in-1 grow tents.

Would you try continuous drip in soil with hyper oxygenated water?Has anyone tried continuous drip with hyper oxygenated water in quality soil on recirculation? Would you ever try that? Would the oxygenated water compensate for the problem of overwatering as in DWC, but in soil? Why would you or would you not try this?Week 5

Is this an RO system?I found this is my basement of our new house and I'm wondering if this is an RO filtration system and if its worth trying to reconnect it as it appears to be bypassed. It does have an electric water softener which I heard you shouldn't use but I'm curious what it is in any case.
