Ei Mini-brainstorm.

[qwikimpss]

So, while I was cleaning my 29 gal this morning (I let the CO2 go weeks without a re-fill, I got lazy) I was thinking about EI and thought about possibly using an automatic fish feeder that you can program to feed daily to dose the drops you need. Once you have a schedule that works and keeps all the levels where you need them you could put the drops in the proper chamber that corresponds to the day you normally dose that fert. This way if you left on vacation you could leave your full lighting on the timer and your plants would still be getting the ferts they need.

Sounds like a feasable idea to me, what do yuo guys think?

I think they make things like that already. It would probably work, just don't know how well.

Would be interesting to try.....gotta start EI 1st tho...need some money for that.

hmmm...hasn't even started EI yet and thinking of lazy ways out already

There are lots of autodosers on the market (usually expensive as well) but yeah its fun to think of ways around these little problems

Never used auto feeders personally, but sounds feasible. Let us know what you find out, if anything

LoL, Ya, I try to find easier (not lazy) ways out of stuff...okay, maybe a little lazy.

I'll let you guys know if it works if/when I try it.
