Summary:

This versatile watering system is designed for efficient and scalable plant care in grow tents. It operates with a 12 V power supply and features easy-to-source, inexpensive components. The system includes a watering board that supports up to four plants, with the flexibility to expand for larger setups.

Key Features:

• Customizable Dripping Volume and Area: Adjust the watering parameters to suit your needs.
• Water Level Controller: Stops the pump immediately when runoff water reaches the sensor. For quicker response, place the sensor where the water first appears.
• Expandable System: Easily add more boards as needed for your tent size.
• Reliability: Proven to be dependable and cost-effective, with a track record of four years of reliable performance.

Ideal for various plant setups, this watering system ensures efficient water delivery and minimal maintenance with no programming required.

Update: 2024-12-23 Sensor_Mount_2.0 – Anti Galvanic Corrosion

This update addresses the issue of galvanic corrosion in water level sensors. To prevent degradation, I replaced the final wire segment with solid 1.5 mm² copper cables. These are more durable, easier to inspect, and simpler to replace compared to stranded wires. Additionally, the updated Sensor_Mount_2.0 provides better stability and supports the use of the improved wiring system.

Durability: Solid copper wires eliminate the risk of corrosion at the contact points.

Ease of Maintenance: Improved mount design allows for quick inspection and wire replacement.

Enhanced Usability: Tap water or naturally dirty water works perfectly, but crystal-clear rainwater may not conduct properly for testing.

Happy Growing!
