Click to expand...
no 5 gallon is cool just figure out how your going to get it from that jug to your plants...I use to mix my water in a 5 gallon jug then i would poor 1 gallon at a time into a water can then water my plants with the watering can.......Ive now upgraded to a 15 gallen rubber trash can...I fill up the trash can with 15 gallons of water then i drop a water pump to the bottom of the trash can with a hose connected to the pump and on the other end of the hose i connect a watering wond.. I can now water all my plants with out pulling them out of the tent evertime and not using a watercan by hand....With the 3foott wond i can water plants in the back of the tent easly from outside the tent......I dont have poor water from my 5gal. bucket to my 1 gallen hand watering can....... Make sense?

Also i noticed you have no filtration system.... Id recomend atleast a Sidement/carbon filter for your tap water and if you wanted to spend more you could get a reverse osmosis filter..... Tap water has chlroine and or Chrominie and a "small boy" filter would get that out

im not sure what the "pill and water thingy" is but everything falls on the scale of Accidic or Alkaline.... Milk is Alkaline and Orange juice is Acitic..... ok so the water that you give your plants must have the right PH level....the scale is from 1-14 1 being most accidic and 14 being most alkaline....

In soil, the water you are giving your plants should be around 6.0 Ph level....If you are not adjusting the PH level of the tap water you are giving you plants then you REALLY REALLY REALLY need to do this....... and give me some rep too for all this help geezz.....lol

If you can get a TDS meter that isnt a complete peice of garbage than pay the extra money cause ive only only ever seen ones that are total shit, and not even waterproof! Maybe just go for a combo Ph/TDS meter cause itll probably be good quality. I used a bottle of this chemical that you dropped some into a sample of your solution to test PH and it was shit, I checked a sample of my solution when I got myself a real PH meter and I was off by a long shot, maybe Im just colour blind though...

Oh yea one thing you forgot: hedge trimmers:-P

i also took shooting powder off my list because i figured it might be too much for the plants because of everything else im feeding them. what do you think?

really 25$ damn thats impressive. I paid umm... alot for mine. now I am hearing there are some combo ones that do temperature, light, ppm, and PH whoa... but I guess if it breaks you lose all that too. Sounds like a pretty good setup you got going, Ive heard shooting powder can be really easy to burn the hell out of the plants with. Sounds like overkill to me but maybe its worth it if you know how to use it right. The air purifier is a nice touch, Im going to be installing a mold/bacteria/dust filter on the intake of my room, hopefully it helps a bit.

Consider adding an infrared thermometer and a light meter. Ultimately, I'd suggest keeping everything as simple as possible. Good luck.
