Need help with sunlight sheds caddy

[canadiancannabisprincess]

We just got a sunlight sheds caddy and are wondering how do you change the resevoir water? Do you use a pump. We just aren't sure how you do it with the lid full of plants. Please help!

Thanks!

You can use a siphon. I have one the attaches to an electric drill. Just stick the hose in the res and drain away. Reverse it to fill it back up.

Thanks so much for the info. We can only hope that our first grow goes as well as yours!

Where would we find a siphon that attached to a drill? At a hardware store like home depot?

Thanks for all of your help!

I got one for my second grow in the cabinet. At a hardware store. As you will see, there are a few modifications to be made to suit your style and such. I got a new res (rubbermaid bin) and cut only 5 holes in the lid, which made it stronger. I slit on angles each side of the handles to be able to lift it enough to get in there or see. I also glued a plastic container with holes punched out to the bottom to house the pumps. This way the roots stay out and prevents clogs. I also switched to clear nutes to prevent the lines from clogging. I taped along the inside door seams as best as I could for air and light leakage. I had to remove the top shelf to get the light up higher as I ran out of room (top the plants). Over all it is a good cabinet, Did you get the big Cool Cab?

Thanks again for all of your info. It is greatly appreciated. We actually got the big cool caddy. The rubbermaid one. It comes with a separate cloning chamber. We went with that one because I read your grow journal and thought this way you don't give up the room at the top and there is more room for the plants. You have a separate fully independant rubbermaid container with its own light and fans for your cloning chamber.

Do you have any pictures of your modifications?

Hey Chicheh, I wanted to say thanks again for the siphon info. We went to the hardware store on the weekend and got the one you suggested that attaches to a drill.
