2L bottle inverted full of water. Press the neck into the soil to the shoulders... as the soil dries, it will draw the water from the bottle.

Put your plants in the tub and make sure the drain is clear, put a water timer on your kitchen or bathroom tap and you can set it to water any time/length you need. I used a soaker hose wrapped around trays of tomato and green pepper plants last spring when we left for a week and worked perfect. only trouble to work out might be lights.....

Brad I trust her pretty well. But she and my little girl is coming on the trip with me. Sorta like a family and business trip all in 1! So that's she can't, also no one else knows but her that I grow. Thank you for your idea brad ! How's the pup ?
Mb5200, that is a smart idea and I will have to consider it but I think I may go with jandre idea! Thank you sir!
Jandre I love the idea, because I can have feed in the 2 liters also. I'm goin to purchase 2 of them and see if I can practice using them right now with my ladies ! Thank you very much my dude !

Cool part about it is, that if it drains too fast as the soil dries, you can play with putting the cap on and drilling a hole in the cap starting at about 5mm or 1/4" and working up from there.
I don't have any advice or suggestions, but I'm looking forward to seeing what you end up with for the air pot. Might steal your plan once ya got it worked out.

RTK i think we need to try DWC..... Maybe 3 of us could all start the same DWC system and help each other out. Just the single pot system? You guys are my family it's crazy.!

Dwc is really easy as long as your water temp is not too high. Adding a chiller makes it less beginner friendly.
Yeah, if your water temps get above about 68F you start getting Pythium (RootRot) problems, and that's a nightmare to control.

Nice update -- your tent jungle looks great!
Great ideas about how to water for the 4 days you'll be away. I'll just add again here that you could probably SWICK it if you used a deeper container to hold the perlite for the SWICK and buried the air pot so that the perlite in the swick and the coco/perlite in the pot made contact.
But the pop bottle would DEFINITELY be easier and less messy, and it's not like you're away that long
All the best, Camo!

So I added my 3rd led today ! A 300w led probably pulls like 135w from wall?! I'm guessing, I know my 450w pull 265w true. So that would be a total 265w+265w+135w=665w true watts from wall.
Ok jandre the pop bottles would be a great idea I just hope I could fit a 2 liter in the pots with my ladies honestly. They are so big compared to their pots. I do know of some slender glass bulb instruments that my grandmother used who is a gardner. I believe would work the same trick. Now I have to go over and search thru a huge storage shed to find them ! Thank you !
RTK and Krypt247 man you guys read my mind I am going to try dwc one day. I'm just saving up for a water cooler lol
OG is the MA to follow on dwc in buckets. Just go read a few of his journals. I have and when I do go & try dwc I will mimic a lot of what he does.
GG hey my friend !! I have missed you, thank you for your input, I very well may still be doing the bed of perlite for my girls, so thank you very much for the advice. I still may set the fabric pot on top and bury the airpot into the perlite.

Oh an I added a mini dehumidifier ! Shit I I haven't checked humidty in a while and it's sky rocketed to 70% and I don't want pm or mold !
Ok, so mum and bub obviously doing well, great... You've been on less last few weeks, know why now.... Awesome camo.... Plants are looking great man, hope we get a good individual update before your trip..
I put in a mini dehumidifier in last grow be patient with it. Idk, but mine seem to take a while before having effect on the humidity, days. I wasn't dealing with high humidity, but took like a week to go from constant 62% to constantly between 45-56%.....

Yeah grizzy just cause you came by today and asked I Will an update in 2 days before I leave for 4 days. So hopefully I can get everything done that I have to get done to my girls ready. Also you do know why I haven't been around much, my little girl has been taken a lot of my time. Also finally decided to say screw the man and start my own company so I've been dealing with all the things that go with that. Just busy off my ass and trying to maintain allllllll the ladies in the house now !
Best way to be mate, make your own if you can... Life's great bro...
They're called Aqua Globe if you're looking for them in stores...
They're fragile as fuuu.....dge.

Thank you jandre !!! Those are exactly the things I was talking about. Due to them being so skinny. I literally have no room for a 2 liter in my pots. Those aqua globes will be a tight squeeze. Hopefully I can find them today while at my grandparents.
Grizzy I'm glad to hear you are doing good. And thank you very much for your support thru out my journey growing and life. You've been a great friend !
