    Default My Modified Wilma Watering System

    Hi Folks,

    Thought I would do a video of the watering system that I built for use with my Wilma.

    This helps me emptying the reservoir, and also allows for more drippers per pot, in case of blockages.

    Hope it helps some one

    I like the way you empty the wilma, a problem many people have encountered I'm sure!

    Hey Bud, I used the halo drippers on one of my previous grows, but due to calcium issues they got blocked up, but that was before I started using the amino acids

    The only other problem I have with the hydro drippers is that they are pretty static once installed and its a bugger if you want to remove the plants from the tent as you have to disconnect them

    Regards BL
    Hey Daz, the airstones were just my OCD tbh, my reasoning was one per plant lol, and they aren't really in there to add oxygen to the feed I tend to use them just to mix up the feed in the reservoir, before I turn on the drippers

    It wasn't expensive mate, with the new pump it probably cost around £35, without the pump its about £15

    Hi Guys,

    Thought I would post a video of the tent tour I done of my diary, so you can see the above watering system setup, and in use

    I am only doing a 3 plant run this grow, and the plants in the video are Dinafem OG Kush, and are exactly three weeks, above ground from seed
