Well when you do, throw something in the automation forum. Something like this is kind of a game changer. Im about to up grade my current timer to one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Orbit-B-hyve-21004-Faucet-Compatible/dp/B099LZ79BX/ref=psdc_553988_t2_B0758V2JQS?th=1
I hate how everything comes with those plastic garden hose threads now. They don’t last compared to brass.
Oh I know. If i was out doors I wouldnt even use them. Indoors im ok. No UV from sun on them. And for 37 bucks if it lasts 4 years I'll be happy.
I usually run 24 plants. Ask your boy to add four more sites and I'm sold. I also noticed that they had some sort of falling out with RUI as well.
No falling out at all, just didn’t want to pay their fees for advertising anymore as they had 0 traffic there to a bunch of old, broke growers
This, right here. Every time I hear about people running anything but straight water in them, they always have problems.
I was looking at their site and they aren't too expensive if you're only growing a few plants. Are you just using one unit? I forget how many plants you usually run. I may consider bringing my plant count down to under 20 to use the next gen model.
GrowTek on Instagram: "Who's ready for a 20 station Fertigation Manager? This new controller has the ability to independently run 20 pumps and deliver water or nutrient solution with great accuracy. Each pump module is good for 4 stations, and each station can have its own delivery volume. If you want station 1 to get 200 ml every 3 hours and station 2 to get 500 mL, this system makes it easy. Just open the app, enter it in and the Fertigation Manager does the rest. Another feature that we added with this new system is the ability to have different fertigation intervals. Each pump module is considered a "group," and each of the 5 groups can have its own fertigation interval. This system is a simple metered delivery system that operates on an interval. This system does *not* use scales or offer the user any feedback on if they are over/under watering. Starting price will be $220. Available soon!"

First run with the single unit is just about in the books. I’ve purchased the Fm-20 and it’s awaiting this run to come down
Did you get an early hookup? I didn't see the newer one on the site. How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?
Yeah I got hooked up early. He ran out of chips to build more ffs with the
chip shortage.
I was checking this thing out, and the scale is what triggers on / off? That's pretty cool if so. Do you have to use saucers? I hope not because I hate shop vacuuming runoff out of a bunch of saucers. It used to take me as long to vacuum as it took to water.Yeah I got hooked up early.

Gave me the new ”brain” for free in exchange for my old one, and each additional 4 pump module was $130 I think?
The whole brain with work in conjunction with the feed and waste. Let’s say you set waste to 20% run off, then it’ll adjust itself throughout the whole grow to maintain the 20% run off. So it’ll slowly up the feed time as the plants grown to maintain the 20% run off.
I see. That's cool. I noticed that they were coming out with rockwool caps. If I can daisy chain them I may buy the 4 channel version for my bonsai mothers. They are becoming similar to a SOG setup, so it's difficult to maneuver my watering wand. I have them in rows of Dutch leach trays that I could flood, but that wastes a ton of water.
