1st. Grow Watering Question
wnd57started grow question 5 years ago
This is my 1st. Grow and my work requires me to be gone for 3weeks. I purchased an automated watering system (DIY Micro Drip Irrigation System) the instructions suck. I would like to water 1/2 gallon per day. Can I water hourly or will this cause a problem. 1/4 cup per hour.

Hey Mate, couldn't agree more to Mr. Harbinger.
I was facing exactly the same problems as you do now.
I was also travelling because of work. I installed a HydrobSystem for 2 plants and a monitorsystem (taylormade by myself) for RH/ Temp and moisture of the soil and and and ...
I never found healthy plants when I came back. It's a very big and expensive effort. Due to that there r so many variables, I do not think it'll work properly... sorry mate..😔
But if you goin to develope something, feel free to shoot me a PM, I'm happy to help..
Rock on, cheerz.... O.✌️

The Harbinger hates to be the bearer of the bad news but the only person who really knows if this will work is you. Not ever irrigation system is that same. And the plant is gonna change it's water Requirements quite a bit over 3 weeks. Your probably gonna need to get some sort of "water control unit" that monitors your soil moisture and waters accordingly... Unfortunately this suggestion is High dollar. But I can't think of another way to leave Cannabis for 3 weeks.. Unless you knew the watering requirements before hand and could program accordingly. But alas you can't.

Mister vs Dripper (Irrigation Solutions)Basically playing around with automatic irrigation ideas (Soil), the plan is to make an array of misters instead of drippers since they wont wet the soil completely unless i use like 4-5 of them for one pot.
Any additional Suggestions or Kontra against that Idea?Other. General questions

AutoPot system: moisture of the medium does not stop increasing if turned onI noticed the moisture of the medium (50% coco, 50% light mix, based on a layer of expanded clay) is getting higher and higher with the AutoPot system (now at ~45%). I stopped it for now. I'm wondering, if that is normal? What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions someone?

Would you know of any particular product against worms, and perhaps a product or trick (preferably non-mechanical) to prevent grease films on the surface of the water? THX!
