    My little watering & anchoring invention...

    I was thinking about going down the whole "take it serious" route but honestly the value for me is solving the original problem, I just want a solution. If the prototype works well maybe we'll kickstart it or something to cover the cost of the initial run. I plan on getting a quote for injection...

    Dude, yellow is where it's at, thanks man. I was thinking white to reflect light and never thought twice about it but you're right man, I bet fungus gnats and such would simply drown themselves when rustled during each watering and yeah if you also sprayed it down it bet it would be very...

    Hah, we'll see man. I'm not looking to get into the business of making this thing, I just want a solution. It is currently an array of 2 semi circles actually. The outer circle has 3 bands, the inner circle has just 1 but I've got a slight concentration towards the stem channel (what I've been...

    I like the idea of spikes although can you tell me what equation you're using to measure flow? The current iteration has 80 .4mm holes. Initially I had planned on 300 .5mm holes but that wasn't slow enough but even so, it still took 3 minutes to drain 1G of water (this was back before the...

    Nah man, the feedback is hugely appreciated!!! Hehe nice nice.

    Gotcha, yeah the priority has been to ensure volume is not an issue. It would indeed suck to have to refill it a few times. It's currently under 2.5" high yet holds nearly 3/4 gallon of water. If a 1G version was created it would be only 1.5" or so high yet still capable of holding more water...

    Thanks for the feedback man, what do you mean regarding size & depth? This first one being printed is for 3G and 5G pots. The only thing that would be required is any old 3G or 5G pot which in my research seems to be by far the most popular size for soil grows. It would be cool to have a 1G...

    Ok the printed prototype is cued up, should have the first version by the end of next week.

    Whoa, I can't believe I didn't find this when hunting. I dig it although the drain holes are super close to the center and $17 a pop is wild.

    I created a matrix of 3 and 5G hard and soft pots to determine an initial size that would cover either and came to the conclusion that right around 9.5" in diameter is the sweet spot for both but if it were to actually go somewhere, I think defined increments like you said would be best.

    Ahhh I see what you're saying, I think something like that would indeed come in the from of an evolution on a custom stake design. Maybe there are platform stakes that can snap onto the feet. After the printed prototype I intend on getting costs for injection moulding. Shit man, if people dig it...

    My little watering & anchoring invention...

    Funny you mention this, I started saving my 32oz soda bottles to basically do the same thing by just leaning them against the first ring on the tomato cage. Ditched the idea after the first try though because they were too cumbersome to refill and replace. I could see 2 liters buried doing very...

    Thanks for the feedback man, you thinking they are so short they might sink in? Maybe what I'll do is increase them to .5" high (currently .25") and add two more (currently there are 4 total) so there is more of a sure-footed base.

    My little watering & anchoring invention...

    I'll start by just saying I have nearly zero patience when it comes to watering. In other areas I seem to have far more. For instance I could manicure for hours but for some reason I just hate sitting there watering things slowly to ensure good and even saturation. Water too fast and I'd get...

    2nd Grow - Exotic Genetics Citrus Berry, Organic, Mainlined, 300W CXB3590

    Ok flipped! I removed the tie-downs on the longest colas yesterday giving them a chance to straighten out a bit although some haven't turned upright just yet. With the crates under the two shorter plants the canopy is even within a few inches but I sure wish they were naturally the same height...

    Ideal driver for 3x Luminus CXM22

    Hey guys, would would be a solid driver for the CXM22? I was planning on going with the MeanWell HLG-185H-48A based on the options available at CobKits but figured I'd open it up and ask the community. I'd like to shoot for at least 150W and it doesn't need to be MeanWell. Thanks in advance!

    2nd Grow - Exotic Genetics Citrus Berry, Organic, Mainlined, 300W CXB3590

    They are about a week away from flip. I'm waiting for a few more colas to catch up. Things appear to be a mess in this photo because of the tie-downs, I actually didn't really want to post it but I guess it's just part of the process. I also raised the tomato cages a few inches because I noticed...

    Luminus CXM-32 Gen3 the next big thing??

    Gents what would be a good driver to run 9 of these at around 70+ watts?

    Luminus CXM-32 Gen3 the next big thing??

    All good, ok cool. If you plan to offer a 3 CMX kit what driver/wattage might we be looking at? I'm two weeks away from flower and would love to get them in as supplemental lighting this cycle.
