Yep Time To Put The Bikini On And Get A SuntanHey Mr Dawg, do you think it's alright to lower the light panel over Lusinda to about 18" above her now?
Wow that's so simple but so genius. Would be interested in seeing how you would pull off adding a third container.
They are looking fabulous, D-! Sorry I have been so absent. I am not in the "grey bar hotel" or dead. One of those weeks. I will get caught up here soon. Pain has been bad, so everything is behind. Glad things are going well!That would be fun to watch, like dominoes falling down. Basically, it's just another container and a siphon hose from one to the other. I'm thinking of trying this with my 2 extra res containers. I'll have to drill holes in them to slide the siphon tubes through. And I'll have to think of how to get the siphon started. Still need to plan some more. (It would really be cool if I could feed them directly from my RO reservoir and not even have to worry about the water running out. The gears are turning in my head.)
That is a crazy cool idea, You should post some pics when your done or a video. That is some cool MacGuyver stuff!Here’s how I plan to leave my ladies on their own when I go on a 4-day vacation later this year. I think that the main issue will be keeping the res water topped up. My big plant already sucks up at least a half gallon of water a day. And that raises the tds and throws the pH out of whack. After a few days of that they’d be hurting, possibly nute burned, not to mention very thirsty for agua.
The video below will show how I plan to keep a tank full of RO-filtered water near my plants and how I’ll just use gravity & the ambient air pressure to keep my reservoirs topped up. Just think "water cooler" & a siphon hose.
And imagine that the container on the left is one of my reservoirs, starting out with a low water level.
(Note: The first minute was sped up and condensed into 25 seconds.)
Now the water levels in the 2 containers are exactly the same. I could also daisy-chain another siphon hose to my 2nd res to keep them both topped up.
Note: This is just an experiment. I plan to get a stronger bucket to set the jug on top of. And I’ll probably use a bigger jug.

That sounds like a plan. Hopefully one you remove the initial air bubbles the whole system will maintain pressure and keep any other bubbles from forming. Good luck with the test !I was thinking about this some more and I think I can get it to work pretty easy. The only thing that I'm worried about is that air bubbles might form inside the tubing and screw up the siphon. Depending on the position of the water jug in my closet, one of the tubes might have to be pretty long, like around 4 feet, so more opportunity for air bubbles to form. I might have to set this up in my garage and let it run for a few days, manually removing about a gallon a day from the 2 reses without any plants, just to see if any problems develop. I don't want to have any surprises when I have to do this for real.
I'm a walking barometer. It HAS been raining a lot here. Large fluctuations and turbulence cause problems. Temp drops are the worst.Hey, GB! Glad to see you back! I thought maybe you went on vacation or something. I hope the pain gets better. Has it been raining a lot by you? I get those weeks usually when we have a week of rain for some reason. I'd never last in Seattle. I hope it's getting better for you! I'm looking forward to seeing how your SCROG is filling up.

I'm sure that's the MAIN reason you want to move to Denver. lol I only have a couple times per year that things are really nasty. I don't see myself moving anywhere. I'd have to fix up my shack and sell it, and I've told you guys how much I suck at DIY. Besides, if I do buy another place, I'd do it locally and just convert my little rancher into a hobby site. That's my retirement plan...lol. Recession proof - at least I wouldn't CARE that I was poor.I've been lucky this summer because it hasn't rained here very much. We need to move to Denver, where they get 300 days of sun during the year (so I've heard).
