    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    I did look at several pre-build system from SF/Mars Hydro, Ac Infinity, and so on. Problem is, I already have most of what I need, all I need now is the tank and a pipe that leads into the basins, wich shouldnt cost more then 20€ at the point. Right now I think it would be better to just...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    I would also prefer passive. I can link you a video (its in german but you get the idea) of what I tried to do, but I bought the wrong tank. Go to minute 3:25 and you see the system I want to implement: The tank that I bought sadly didnt have the ability to intake air through the tap, so I...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    Yea im quite happy too, only thing I have to figure out still is how to setup my water tank. I can either use passive methods or active ones who require electricity, like water pumps.

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    Ok guys so a final update. The method is really nice. I havent hand watered in a while now. Plants are all growing great, no more under/overwatering. Only thing I have to do still is get a good tank-method, a simple way to insert water into the basins. I also noticed extreme root growth out...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    But why should I wait an entire grow, when there are better ways to measure the water content and also get instant feedback? I have tools here like that moisture meter wich tells me where and how much water is inside my pot when using X amounts of wicks. I can also use my scale wich gives me the...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    Ok guys, so 4 weeks have gone by, the middle plant ended up being a hermie sadly, Im currently trying out my wick system for a single plant, I tried out using just 1 wick, wich ended up being too little for 8L pot, then I tried putting an additional wick on top wich also didnt work since the...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    ok guys little update. so the 3 bigger ones have fully recovered, im still waiting for the implementation of the wick system until the plants start to basically drink up all their water in 1-2 days as they usually do, so probably in about 1-2 weeks, they grow quite fast atm. i also have...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    Cant recommend. Ended up being terrible. Either the wicks pulled up too much water, or the phase was just bad. Until day 4 everything looked fine, at day 5 they showed signs of overwatering. I assume the bottom of the pot was just too wet from the wicks and the plants are so small, just too much...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    Oh didnt you see the pictures? I just uploaded them via the media button, no external host. Well I guess Im doing something simular or basically the same but with the wick. All wicks are floating in the water, underneath the gray tray. Im basically waiting right now, to see when and if the...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    Im not that deep into that yet. What means sub irrigated planter? Ive asked AI and it said: "A sub-irrigated planter (SIP) is a pot that waters plants from the bottom, using a water reservoir." Not 100% sure here, all I had in mind was to create a wick irregated system, as simple as possible...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    I add about 30% perlite and when I transplant into 8L, I also add about 20% coco. Ive heard the soil should be aerated enough because of the permanent moisture. Guess Im going to have to find out. This is improvised just to see if it works, I covered the open area with some plastic foil so...

    Need Help with First Wick Irrigation Setup

    Hey all, My 4 Super Lemon Haze seeds just popped today, and after 3 years, I finally want to try some kind of auto-watering. Wick irrigation seems like the simplest method, so this will be my first attempt. I typically start in 300ml plastic pots for about 10–14 days, then transplant into 8L...

    One Plant Always Droopy – Treated All the Same

    Ok so you lollipop too to a degree yes? Im in day 8 of flower now and the plants are about 66-75cm tall, and the stretch has begun, and I havent done any training yet: My plan was to cut off lower branches too at the end of stretch, and then bend over the mainstem at the end of stretch, to...

    One Plant Always Droopy – Treated All the Same

    Ok so let me ask you; What are the most common training methods or techniques in the US for the flower phase? Or what is concidered "good practice" for flower phase? Its now 11 days after transplant, and my plants are all 40-42cm tall, and they look very healthy, so today they received their...

    One Plant Always Droopy – Treated All the Same

    Yeah thats basically what Ive been told. Im not going to do that, instead I will look for a controllable EC fan with temp and humidity. Thats going to be 200€ and upwards..... Sucks but what can I do. The plants are doing fine btw, the middle plant still shows a bit of hanging leaves despite...

    One Plant Always Droopy – Treated All the Same

    I actually did that a while ago, until people told me, that thats not good for the exhaust. Im not an electronics guy, and I have a cheap fan, so I just stopped doing that. :D

    One Plant Always Droopy – Treated All the Same

    My last humidifier dropped my temperatures from 30°C to 26°C, wich is why I gave it back. I need warm mist, I dont want to lose my temperatures, I feel like my plants grow faster around the 29-30°C mark. I searched for it but I still get prices for 50-60€. Amazon EU is very bad honestly...

    One Plant Always Droopy – Treated All the Same

    Yea taxes and stuff drive up prices here. It really sucks. 115€ are 130$, so its even more of a difference if u paid 60$ wich would be like 50€, so its even more then twice :(. Getting ripped of by EU goverments is fun. Let me ask; does it produce warm mist or cool mist?

    One Plant Always Droopy – Treated All the Same

    The one with the pipes? Does it produce warm mist or cold mist? Im from EU and so I only have access to Amazon EU, wich kinda sucks compared to Amazon US, not so many products etc. I guess its simular to the 5L Mars Hydro Humidifier right...
