Yes, thanks for the idea bud, i havent tested yet, i can see it working tho, it forces me to press real hard on the lid to close it.

You'd wanna just get your gun hot hot and run a bead down as fast as you can, then throw that lid on quick so it forms nicely, then pull it back off fast so it doesn't stick. But the glue gets to a certain consistency after a few seconds where it presses down but is no longer way adhesive anymore. That's when you do it.

Makes sense. i never did it that way, so we will see if it works, if it dont, ill redo if like you just explained.

Got me thinking, maybe a small bead of silicone would also do the trick?

Not sure if silicone would stick very well to the totes, think I read that somewhere here by someone.

Are you ditching coco for hydro? I was thinking about doing that too. So much coco wasted and I don't want to deal with cleaning the coco and storing it in large bins. I feel like if I went hydro I would save more water too.

Nothing better than using the water you're gonna use to water your plants with anyways, as the medium itself!!

Not really ditching coco as i still have plants in coco and will continue this way. I love coco

Im just out here trying new stuff , see what i like and what i dont. For instance, were having a fkn 8-12 hour scheduled power outage tomorrow for maintenance apparently, so tomorrow should be a fun day, baby sitting plants in the dark, making sure the pumps stay running. The coco girls will be fine, the aero girls are gonna require some TLC. This part, i DONT like about hydro. hopefully the outage wont last the full 8-12 hours.

It may be charged to some degree already, poke around in the instructions and see if it says anything about precharging it, hopefully it lasts as long as you need it to. At least you get noticed about outages, sometimes we get blackouts in summer without warning.

At least they give ya a heads up,no generator?Or a 12v to 110 converter?

Ya i have 2 generators that operate my wood stove,fridges,lights and cooking but my room is hidden away very well and its very difficult to run cords from where the generators are located. Thats why i went with the UPS backups.

Now if it gets too bad, ill just have to buy another generator soley to support the room and run some outlets out through my exterior wall in my room for easier access.

Ya mine can be used asap but its suggested i charge it for 8 hours to fully charge the battery before use. So i got it plugged in now lol. Thanks for the heads up, knowing me, i woulda waited till the power went to see if it worked haha

I run 2 coco and 2 DWC myself... the coco is WAY more forgiving honestly.. and not much slower, BUt i hate dealing with coco when the grow is done.. and all that.. I would like 1 more tent with 2 more DWC buckets.. but too cheap:)
