I use about 1/4gal per gallon of medium as an average so in 5gal about 1 1/4gal per watering gives me a little run-off in 5gal fabric pots. Thing is, with those fabric pots if you don't pack the edges when transplanting into them they'll tend to leak a lot of water around the sides, that results in more water than they need, mostly wasted. Try packing the edges next time and you'll see less water loss through the sides of the pot. I water slowly at first, let it sit for a minute to let the soil absorb throughout the pot and that also tends to get less run-off too soon. Otherwise you're dumping a bunch of water or feed and the roots aren't absorbing it as well.
Yes get yourself either a hose attachment ....I like the long wand type they save on my back from bending over a bunch ......or get a watering can with a long neck and many holes the water comes out .....not sure how big your grow is but for nutrient days I use a tank with a cheap pump works well ......good luck
I use these to water outside and a hose. Water filter, wand, and water meter so they all get the same amount.
Hell yeah. I'm rocking almost the exact same set up except I put my filter on the spigot. I'm using an rv water filter that removed chloramine and chlorine. 19.99 shipped. What kind of filter is yours?
Just for measuring purposes 10 cups does not equal 2 gallons. Unless you're just speaking of a random "cup" then never mind.
I'm using a boogie blue plus. I used the camco filter u have and it worked well. The boogie blue is rated for 45k gallons. I think the camco is 15-20k. The boogie was 50bucks. I got mine specifically from Bay hydro, but they're other places too.
Yea lol Im sorry should have given more info.. it's a dickies BBQ cup and I took a gallon of water poured it in a buck then counted how many cups it took to refill that gal of water it was 5 dickies cups makes a gal..
It's funny, I thought the same thing but decided maybe he was meaning that he waters anywhere between 10 cups and 2 gallons. By the time I got to the end of the thread, I'd forgotten.
Nice, I was trying to find a cheaper alternative to the green knight garden filter. I figure whenever you're buying something for our hobby, it's usually just repurposed, relabeled stuff that's been marked up 40%. I love mine though. I think about letting enough water for my garden to sit out and dechlorinate, and then schlepping it in 5 gallon buckets through the yard and it makes my back hurt. Lol.
Great, now when I go to dicekeys I'm gonna be counting how many gallons of sweet tea all the fat people drink with there 4way combo plate. Lol
Lol I do that and I'm tired of it too
And all u can eat ice cream cones.... My
I saw they had a new Dickey's in Marianna Florida. I had never heard of the chain before that. Haven't tried their BBQ yet.
Dickies is bomb and u get free unlimited ice cream cones
