Indoor Zaaboot has gone to pot 2022 auto spree

Plants are awsome dude. The nugz are just bad at bouncing back once shit happens. Sorry mate. Small plants with attitude.
No drama - live and learn, I am sure if you sprinkle something from your land to hither - all will be well
 
I'm quietly (or maybe not so lol) confident the dry up will bring them back to life m8. Let's see.
I am with you Hope! They are the two in the smallest pots which reading up on it are the hardest to get set with blumats because of their size, the carrots can’t decide if it is wet or dry

Damned vegetables m8.. always knew they weren't to be trusted :eyebrows:
 
So then, 3 weeks and the solution is....
Helo all - I trust everybody is tickety boo and loving the sun!

So after weeks of deliberation, and asking everyone on here, plus actually thinking for myself, I have come to the realisation that the REAL issue here is not, how do I grow weed whilst galavanting, it is that I am a baboon who cannot help galavanting around, making hard to sit in once place. Anyway, my stupidity has given rise to the clear realisation that there is nothing I can buy off the shelf that is going to keep my plants alive on my next trip from Tuesday.
The Sawneys tent, is fine - all blumat'ed right up.
The other room has a 50ltr res (give or take), which at current drinking speed allows for circa 3 to 3.5 days. This said they are being fertigated over 15 times a day for a minute a pop. I can half that easy enough, which will reduce their uptake slightly as less is being made available - this can get me to 6 days tops with slight if any noticeable detriment to the plants.

This leaves me with about 14 days to cater for.

They always say when in doubt, take a cr*p - and bygosh it worked - the Eureka moment :vibe: .
Nothing as Mcguyver as @T RAEB, that would just be silly (my conclusion is that he trained the A-Team whilst teaching McGuyver), so what is my solution: And please please please tell me to stop being a twat and it will not work if anyone has tried something like this before.

1 - Mini float stop valve 3/4"
2 - 225 Litre flex tank
3 - 3m of 3/4" hose and 1 connector to the tank.

A hole will be drilled in the side of the Wilma water tank, the float will sit in that and be sealed in place with Silicon and good will.
The flexi tank will sit in the Garage (not in the lung room) and will not have a heater as I will keep the water heater in the Wilma res as that is the direct source of feed for the ladies, teh tubing will go through the wall of teh lung room and into the tent. Both the Wilma res and the 225 tank will have an water pump in there just to agitate the water (I stopped using air stones as they cause chaos with PH if unattended for more than a few days). So the Tank will feed through in to the lung room, in to the tent and feed the Wilma res once it goes below the point of doom.

In theory this will work, the numbers work out just fine, and give me a day or two extra.

Thoughts please

Cheers

all I need it faith :rofl:
lets see what happens, I leave on tuesday for 22 days - I either comer back to a right twat of a mess, or some jubbly
 
Sawney’s
So much to do, such little time - I forgot today I have to go away for my partners parents 50th wedding anniversary…one and a half days less to get my shit sorted :hookah:

Sawney’s tent is looking good - I have fucked up the Nugz - human error, and oddly enough the Slaughtered Iamb in the small pot is pretty much in its way out. All 100% human error, what I can say is the three that are in pain are the ones in the smallest pots where the blumats are just too big for the size of pot. Lesson learnt, if I was around today I would have cleaned them out and thrown three replacements in, time time time

the other SL are doing great, they are just entering their first few hairs phase - I will miss them all growing up so I will get my arse in gear and hang my time lapse to run for the 3weeks.
the Predator is a monster, I could fill the tent with four of these comfortably given space I can see it would be massive

some snaps - no time to label today sorry - healthiest you can see are the big pot Slaughtered Lambs and the Predator, Cali Doctor is going to stay a runt. The GG is now rooted nicely and growth has started in her

The rest of the bits for this tent have just arrived - I would call that a wrap now on set up

Hey hey - been busy for a couple of days, the expectation is tomorrow I go away for 3 weeks. The reasoning is my partner is having her foot broken today (now-ish) so we will fly out and chill from tomorrow until she can hobble around again.
Anyway - I had weeks to think of how to get this done, and finally I used a ball float cock feeding from a 225ltr tank.

Pulling it all together was easier than anticipated, filling it is taking ages and is still not full, the sheer amount of nutes that are going in is lalaloola….
But we have no leaks - emptied the Wilma to test it, it filled up and stopped when it should.

the pictures in no particular order - I drilled a hole in the lung room to feed through into the tent.
