My plan is to get my other two 45L containers into the tent also and use the 8 gallon reservoir to fill all 4 by way of the one control box. Once they're filled, the 8 gallon reservoir should be enough for topping up. I'm a bit nervous about flooding to hook everything directly to the water...

Currently, I use a repurposed 8 gallon square bucket which is about 24 inches above the containers. I find it takes up minimal space and doesn't require refills too often as of yet. It was the reservoir for my Blumats, so I already had the bulkhead fitting installed. The 8mm Blumat tubing is...

Good day! Topping up the reservoirs isn't as much fun as it used to be... so I've added a float valve. Now I fill an 8 gallon container, on a shelf next to the tent, with a hose from the tap. Easy Peasy. It's been 8 days and all looks well. No leaks, thank the gods. I plan to eventually bypass...

way I understand things is: S1 will show you what recessive genes lie beneath the surface

roots are coming out the drain holes now, so I plan to transplant into 10 gal SIPs by 20 days...

Dang! Looking great!

I soaked 4 Royal Wedding F4 seeds from Emerald Mountain Legacy in a glass of water in a cupboard on Thursday, April 6th. On Saturday the 8th I planted them. One seed didn't make it so I started one feminized Garlic Cookies from 34 Street Seed Co., two days behind the others. They were started...
