I see some kind of float valve. How does that work? Dyi skills i have in excess as I’ve been construction for over 40yrs.
Thanks for the help!
A grown cannabis plant can drink a gallon of water a day. The more grow stations that are added, the harder it is to keep up. Look at any multi-station RDWC, and you’ll see they all have this “reservoir” in them, that’s really just a utility station for monitoring water quality, performing drain/refills, housing pumps, etc. For a dual bucket system, it can actually serve as a real reservoir as well, since it’s just for one plant. Two adult plants however, will empty this “reservoir” in a day, so a float connected to a water source can keep the party going longer. A lot of confusion over this comes from everybody including me, using the term “reservoir” for both this utility station, and the actual reserve supply of water.
I’ve recently went a step further, and connected both a line from my RO tank, and a line from another elevated bucket filled with solution. I’ll run one or the other depending on stage of growth, nutrient issues, etc. This is all just a work in progress and is just how my own DIY style has evolved over a few years. Not that it’s definitive, or right or wrong… I can’t stress it enough that there’s a million ways to do this, and this is just my personal take that works for me.
Connection at the back of the float.
