Safest automated watering system

boiling water removes dissolved oxygen. Air bubbles in your carrots are the cause of most flooding.

...and makes for incredible glass-like ice cubes

You and me both! I went from DWC and close to an hour of work per day to topping up a res once a week. I'm a lazy grower!

My more recent grows have been hand-watering at 3 or 4 days, this one is more aggressive at every other day...which is about enough for me. If I were doing fully hydro/coco, I'd definitely blumat or other system all the time so I didn't have to put in the hours. My schedule is to mix 24 hours before (since I use dry salts) and then pH right before feeding the next day. I've got it down to about 40 minutes each feed day.

I've always carefully removed any visible bubbles and not had problems but I'll try this when I set up early next week and see if I notice a difference.

I’m doing my carrots so I thought I would set some boiled water and regular tap water aside for an hour
