For those who do automatic watering, what timer do you use, and at what rate? 😁

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

There is a couple of places around the lid where air can escape the res. Should the resevoir be on the same level as the plants or should it sit above floor level?

I'll double check and make sure that isn't the problem this time.
