Hey gc, so i was just told yesterday i have to leave for a week and no one will b able to water or move my lights up so and amazing ideas on a slow iragation system and how high should i move my lights up please help id hate to loose my girls
move them up pretty high and make sure they have plenty of water ask a trusted friend to watch them??
i don't trust any one around them im usin cfl's and i don't want the plant to stretch how high should i move them up for a safe distance not to burn or stretch to much thanks for the quick reply i leave Wednesday and found out yesterday scared
Move the light up about a foot. Get an old milk jug, attach a drip line to it and you should be all set.
yah more info on the drip line , but i doubt she will stretch too much bro , Move um up a foot and use the drip line and your good to go
Fill up your milk jug with water, get some 1/4" airline tubing, attach your tubing to the milk jug, and let gravity take over. One gallon of water at a slow drip rate should last for a week.
The easiest way is to just take the lid off and push the line through the handle of the milk jug all the way to the bottom, or you can drill a hole in the lid or top of the jug somewhere. I'll rig one up real quick and take some photos.
See how I just stuck the tube down the handle to hold it in place? All you have to do is make sure the milk jug is on a shelf above the plants so the siphon will work. You might have to tie a loose knot in the line to restrict the waterflow a tad.
ok thanks guys will take ur advise i was scared when i found out i had to leave my girls this is very much appreciated http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/803865-first-grow.html any tips on making these girls thrive
