Soon it will be getting time for me too start thinking about taking clones off my plants. so i needed a place to keep the the babys while there getting healthy.
so i emptied out my closet for space and decided to build me a little table that would automate the feeding processs i took a trip to home depot and lowes and picked up my supplies heres what i got
2- 1/2x3in pc. of threaded pipe 79 cents
2- 8 line gang valves 6.00 apiece
2-1/2 elbows 1.98
2-pumps 18.76 each
2 plastic totes 6.00 each
1 roll of 1/2 tubing 2.73
1 roll of poly tubing 1.86
1-all purpose stand 26.54
2 timers clearnce sale 6.00
i cut the wholes i needed in the legs to put my gang valve, pipe and elbow assembly at the top of each leg
put the nutrient tote on the second shelf of the stand and one tote on the top shelf
the 2 pumps are in the nuttrient tote and they feed the water thru the hose then to the gang valve assembly then thru the poly feed lines
the water then drains from the top tote thru 2 drain hose i attached to the bottom of the top tote the water drains from those hoses , i cut the drain hoses short so the water actually drips down and splashes into the bottom nutrient tray i do this to try to aireate the water as much as possible
the timers kick the pumps on at a preset time
the gang valve are connected to the pump so it feeds water thru up to 16 different lines if needed, and on the end of each feeder line is a dripper that i connected to some medal hose stands that you can press into rockwool this setup works for me and im sure there are flaws to this but for me this will fit in my closet and ill place my clones in them and wont have to worry as much about feeding them. so there u go .....im open to any input good or bad about this set up ...after all how can i get better without trial an error
