BillMonroestarted grow question 5 years ago

Whats up everybody! I'm interested in your favorite automatic indoor watering system. I want something that can do top watering drain-to-waste in not too long of a time span - no slow continuous drips (no blumat etc). Any ideas welcome, prefer DIY! Even water distribution is key

I have no experience with auto watering system BillMonroe but I can give info on what I would do if I wanted to set up something like that. I would get a reservoir of some sort let say 5 gallon bucket for this example. Get a submersible water pump, a timer to set when pump to water, some 9-inch halo water ring, some t fittings, and Hydro Flow Barbed Ball Valves. Put Hydro Flow Barbed Ball Valves between Halo ring and t fittings to control water flow so you can even out watering to each container.

I bought programmed pumps off the internet. Pumping duration can be set. Pumping frequency can also be set. However, I use this only for my seedling. Hard to imagine if it can go 2 liter per day for full size sativa. I could not understand Chinese instruction. So the product that worked for me was a set with two dials. It can be powered by battery or by plugging in mobile phone charger.

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

Defoliation Autoflower Hey fellow growers, How should I approach defoliation with autoflowers during flowering? I'm thinking of removing lower leaves, especially near the soil. I prefer to be cautious to avoid mistakes. Reddit wasn't helpful as it seemed too critical. I hope for better insights here.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!
