    Default Wilma Coco run to waste?

    Alright peps been sat here for a while now thinking about starting up a new grow system using a 4 pot Wilma and Coco! just wondering if there's anyone out there already using it as a drip feed run to waste? Need ideas man on how catch runoff!
    Was thinking of having like a Garland tray above the tank? And then just empty as and when it fills up?

    Thoughts and ideas are very much welcome!

    Cheers BL but then wouldn't that be a recerculating thing? And would that mess with the fresh clean nute mix already in there? Sorry mate but not much clued up on all this! Lol bit daunting taking the step from good old compost!

    Sorry mate didnt make myself very clear...Use a water butt for your feed solution and pump the waste out of your wilma rez
    If you're only doing 4 plants it no hardship to just hand water/feed from a water butt, better that drippers and probably less waste.

    As said use a the wilma tank for waste and get another tank like a plastic bin from wilko for your nuits and feed from that, all you gotta do is adjust the tubing etc, also id go for the dripper rings that flood your pots fast. It isn`t rocket science m8

    You don`t really want your nuit tank in the tent, just buy a bit extra tubing and have it outside sling in pump and set timer, bingo, jobs a good en. You can use same pump to pump out waste. Using the rings you will only need to have them on for a few mins max b4 the pots flood so you will need a minute timer or digi timer.

    Nice one Jimmi I got a 20ltr storage box I could use as a nute tank and sit it on top of my tent and top up as and when needed
    Really wanna give the Coco a bash! Just wish I had more time to hand water like you do! How often do you feed ya monsters in flower mate?
