Maggie ordered a smart valve so that we could make our own autopot system.
To sum it up, this valve lets in about 1 inch of nutrient for the plants to absorb and then gives it a bit of dry time before allowing the next inch to flow in which mimics the natural rain fall cycles. So far, so good. One green zebra and 2 poblano peppers. All in 3x3 grodan cubes surrounded by hydroton for support. The pickle bucket holds 4 gallons of nutrient and it flows in by gravity via a 1/4 inch black tube.
Hey i have been looking all over the web for just the valve like you have, could you share where you bought this item?
