Being Cheap and broke I decided to to make some seeds using my spare Auto seeds.
From a thread about seed making using CS, I had a thought to make a self watering seeding rig.
I thought that I wanted to keep this isolated from my small veg-flowering room so I thought I'd use rig I made for cloning and sexing a few years ago.
Ths was a rough neck tube with a 50 watt burple LED panel in the top and a 2' fan with vent holes which I'd place over a 12 gal RN tub to hold the plants with a shelf holding the plants, in solo cups above a shallow rez and have wicks down into the rez to wick water into the solo cups from the lower rez.
I was thinking tht hurricane lamp wicks would b good to try as they are ~1/2" wide and should provide enough wicking to keep the solo cup filled with a fine soil pretty damp with out too much problem.
The shelf would be about 1-2 inches below the cups so it should work???
Anybody with wicking expierence care to advise me on this? I don't use soil much and never used a wicking rig before.
My idea was this could be completly self contained and out side my grow room. Tought I coud use CS to either self plant by treating one branch for making pollen and pollenate the other branches or CS a whole plant for pollen making and then use it to pollenate another plant, for crosses. I figure to use Femmed seeds so all the seeds produced would be fems too?
Am I on the right track or have a Bro'd here??
