A peek inside my grow tent.

Hi, maybe a stupid question, but ... in that grow style, how do you control the water level. I would think the water level in the main res would dictate the level in your grow containers. The more I think about it is maybe you have a float valve in the res tank that is fed from another tank.

Anyway water level was the main reason I set up a dutch bucket type system. At times, I need my system to be 100% automatic for several days.

Thanks -

I have a mark inside my tote that reflects about 1 inch under my pots.
I fill to there and then let it drop 2 inches which is approximately 5 gallons, then top up as it goes.
Really only goes quick mid flower at 5 gallons every 2 days.

Will be leaving for a week for holidays, will add float valve and another tote for that episode.
Might need 10-15 depending.

Many thanks - That's exactly how I thought that works. Happy growing.

Hey maybe you explained this before but whats the use of that 1h light during the dark period? is there a reason for like hormones or something?

It’s to keep the amount of Gibberellins from increasing to a point of flower happening.

By my calculations I will have saved 210 light hours by tomorrow .

Win win in my books and the growth rate seems spoton.

That is so interesting I will have to do more research on it!
