amazing job, im so envious about this setup... my collection is getting large and watering
them daily has been a chore, its takes about 1hr of my time daily just to do it.... im so glad that its the rainy season here so that gives me a lot of break from the watering and more time admiring the plants. But im so desperately in need of some watering setup and yours is an inspiration for me. Hopefully I can have my own watering system done before the summer comes next year. Oh please do post photo when you have finally transfered the prisoners. |

![]() ![]() Arrr... I also thought I could live without the springkler.... but I'm wrong. As you know, the mist is very fine droplets of water and everything will work fine in enclosed environment. When there's movement of air (wind), it'll be blown away in an instance.... That's what happen to my place... When there's wind, part of the place will stay dry because the mist can't reach it. Since air movement also very important in nep cultivation, I can't really "bag" up the whole place until it's wind proof.... ![]() So for those that wanted to setup a growing space (especially in open ourdoor area) and was thinking of only using mist to water your plants, think again... ![]() Quote:

Yup, I knew those plastic cable tie will become brittle after exposed to sunglight. One of my worker adviced me to use a kind of plastic rope, he said those will last at least a few years compared to these cable ties... you should try it... I'll see if I can grab a pic to show you. At least the cable ties are easy to use eventhough it's not as long lasting when used outdoor.... ![]() Thanks for the offer Shawn, I would really love to get a truck to unload your neps but the reason why I built this place is because I already ran out of growing space at my home... if I move all my plants fr home to this new place... it'll be full... ![]() Thanks !! ![]() Quote:
![]() Yup, I also felt the same way about manually watering my plants. When my collection is small, I still can managed to water them twice a day but as your collection grow... It will take lots of your time just to water every nep and leave you no time to even admire your plants... You should seriously consider investing in watering solution so you have more time to do other things for you plants.... It's a win-win solution. ![]()

Thank for the sharing.
May I know the time set for the watering system? Do the position face to South (if base on kitchen door) ? |

For timer setting, Water springkler - 5 minutes ON at 9am Misting/Fogging - more complicated.... it's roughly 1 minute every hour fr 11am to 5pm, after 6pm it's 1 minute ever 3 hrs until 11pm. After 11pm till 7am is 1 minute every 4 hrs. I think that's about correct.... still playing around with the timer to find the best settings. ![]() Quote:
