Alright so decided to not finish setup yesterday but start working on making a autofill float valve system for these food cubes . Now in all honesty I bought one from the manufacturer to reverse engineer and crazy part is in all parts might cost 30-45$ usd….they sell these for 200$….

What they have here is an inline float valve for intake from water source.

2 90 degree elbows with threaded connectors , a tee that has a bushing for the float to thread into and that leads out to a threaded connecting into a camlock fitting

24hours in, added mycos and misted the soil with water with a drop of blackstrap molasses , then turned the mycos in and misted the top again.

I covered the bins with some panda film white side up and punched holes in that so bacteria can breathe abit

Well I found out the humidifier does t work anymore yesterday. Bought 3 yr warranty and instead of replacing they reimbursed me the cost of the unit.

I was able to get it working again for all of 5 mins this morning…. Not sure issue but I’ve read online that hard water is an issue and tends to blow whatever is left in it back out. Calcium, lime etc…

Ahh yes. This is the grow room that inspired me to gut my basement and add a grow room as part of the rebuild. I had to lay off growing for a year but it was worth it.
Thanks @PharmerBob!
