  • I feed 2-4 times a day depending on the plants, the timer I use is an old Century Digital Timer that only dials down multiples of 1 minute. I had a titan that could be timed for seconds after X  amount of time but it died after a couple of days. Now I adjust flow with the diverter and best guesses.

    • It can be a problem, the first time I blamed the timer not shutting off. A small hole slightly below the lid will vent the air so it cant siphon

      • The timer was the problem I think. They bring up a good point. I wasn't aware that siphoning could be the problem.

        • Most of the cheap pumps allow water to pass both ways when they are turned off. I watered 3 plants in 5 gallon bags of coco to find that out. It was messy
