Thanks for the link there @TDubWilly, I was just looking for more of those to get. I am going to high jack your thread for a second here Nicky :smile: Since you have some a pot users here all ready.

I bought two of the 5 gallon kits. So I have 2 og the 12 gallon reservoirs. Should I run both or would one be good enough to run three 5 gallon pots. I know one will work now. just wondering if it would be enough for flower too.

Easily could run all four on one during veg, at least. It might be good to separate into two for flower if unusual reaction to nute load by one of them.

Tell the Bo$$man I’m sorry . I didn’t know he was a ganster cat . He probably wears a diamond studded flea collar . :laughing: @Not2SureYet IMO one reservoir would be good enough as long as they are all drinking the same nutrients . Yes what @Myfriendis410 said . lol

I have 2plants in flower right now and they drink Less than 1/4 a day @Not2SureYet although they are in soil… Sooo Geuss we will know more when running coco soon.

Okay so looks like I’ve ran into my first snag.
I have an inkbird controller but it turns power on and off to my humidifier depending on settings only to have my humidifier not power back on because I have to click the button.
Does anyone know of a large humidifier that doesn’t have to be manually turned on after being powered up? I feel like this is a design flaw on inkbird part because both my old one and my new one you need to hit on/off to turn them on after killing power

I have seen where others have just by passed the on off switch so it is on when you plug it in.

I have 26 gallon reservoir, but I usually only fill it up with 20 gallons.

When full I wanted to be able to have 5 gallons per plant and that’s why im running four plants.

Not sure what you mean?
I could bypass the controller but then it doesn’t much help control my humidity, that being said it’s what I’m doing until I can figure something out any suggestions?

Also be aware of the valves the #1 concern I heard is they clog easier than the lines or auqa valves so flush your lines often

Thanks for the info Nicky. I will make a second set of lines so I can change them out and then clean the used pair.
For the humidifier. I was thinking de humidifier. My humidifier when on. Will come back on if you are to un plug it and the re plug it in. I am plugged into the #1 outlet. I use the inkbird as well.
Once off for my dehumidifier. it stays off till I manually turn it back on. I need to re wire the switch so it is always on

Yeah it sucks but oh well I Geuss I’ll just leave the humidifier to control its self hopefully it does it accurately

This is the one I use, I set it to continuous mode and my environmental controller turns it on and off as required. Seems to cope with my 4*8 tent

It has an outlet so you can plumb in a waste line instead of emptying the container everyday or two. I put a cover over the control panel so the lighting doesn’t interfere with the plants dark cycle

I have this one and have used it in my 4x8. It will work with the inkbird as well.
