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
.
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
