how big were your plants an pots ? i was thinking about using theseworks 100 %
i used these when i went on a trip saved my whole crop
i stuck them right into the root ball
i was gone for about 2 wks
came back
my soil plants where as healthy as when i left they didnt even drink all the water
these things are worth the price
i gat mine in a grocery store but you can prolly find them wall mart
simple and ez
all it is is an wicking system
i think i might use one acutually . ive got a hoze lock distribuiter so im going to hook it up to a fisk pump and but it in a bucket full of water.. and plug the pump on a timer. so when it turns on my plants are watered . the pump ive got in my shed is a 500gph pump i think so ill only need it on for a tiny bit every cuple days
What medium are you in soil I assume? You should run it on a timer, just 5 mins if you can score a cheap digital. Bucket is bad, you want to catch the extra run off (i do run hydro) you are in soil and its normally bad to recyle, but get a bigger res than 5 gals because a pump that strong is what I use to water about 1/4 of my stadium
yeh im in soil, .. how much should the plants be watered , say once every 3 days . or a little water every day ? ill get a garbarge bin for the resvior so i have loads of water spare, i might try and get hold of a smaller pump so i dont over water my plants .. i might just do a test to see how much water it gives to each plant if left on for 5 mins . cheers man
well i have a pond in my garden? the water in there i tested its about Ph7-8 itscloser to 8 .. would the water from there be okay or should i put a buket out and collect next time it rains ?
nope my plants are indoors . ?
okays ill give the rain water a try see if my plants like it , hopfully they do it will save me 3 quid every time i go to the shop
