do u run yours in pebbles and pump on 24h?
If u are goin for it I'd get two big 4 pot systems, easier moved about, u could move them apart more for more room too. And it works out cheaper to buy.

i run the pumps for 15 mins every two hours but usually give them 6 hours without when lights are out...why? Cos it works

yer it is to make things easyer for me tbh lol.....I don't mind wen they in veg.....but pulling them in and out every day or otherday esp wen they big then they smell gets all over u and stinks the gaff out......
makes sense mate.

a friend kinda done the same thing on the cheap ages ago at a location he didnt want to be going everyday, he just brought a large storage container then run a pump with drippers to all his potted plants, seemed to work pretty well for him.

why tho imc? is the wilma system not just to make things easier i.e watering for ya, can see how it works for people who are away from there grow often but like hydro said and thats someone whos used them for years given the choice he would hand water, and all the space problems???

if your looking at hydro and to up your yields i think DWC is the best for it, but i never used it nor the wilma system just going of what ive read over the years.
Dont get me wrong they are good systems IMO, so fucking easy and never had any real problems using them. DWC they grow like fuck, that psycho I have has big massive fat fingered leaves and gettin bushy as fuck, looks a bit different too the psycho in the wilma

I dunno m8, first syst I bought was a tent kit, came with pebbles so never changed....always thot that with coco or soil some medium would run off into the tank and end up fucking with the pump or drippers

im shure the one in the shop he had a 4 with 21l pots.....well he had 2 of them side by side.....
Check up and see if they make the 4 pot with 25 litre pots, I've been havin a look and the biggest I found for the 4 pot is 18 litre pots, but tbh I think ther big enough for any plant

Lol, we all start somewhere don't we. My first grow was bagseed in a cuboard with 4 x 2 foot fluorescent tubes, by the time the hit flower I had them in a 1.2m plywood box with a 600w in the parents garage lol

Dont think they come in 21 liter pots m8....they come in 11 litre was the first one they had out, then they went bigger to 18 litre (that's what mine is not 15 as I said) and now the xxl 25 litre pots. Look them up m8

Google made me start lol, once I found indoor growing then I started straight away, as I learned more I adapted the grow to suit, just learned along the way, found riu pretty quick too. Was me that started m8s and stuff at it too
