    DIY battery powered, auto-burping curing jars!

    I've got it set to burp for 15 minutes once a day to begin with. I'll drop it down to once every few days after a week or so. I let it run for 10 hours straight and the battery pack still had a charge. So it should be good for a few months. Easy to add additional jars as needed. Supply list...

    How have you simplified your watering?

    I'm growing outdoors in 15 gallon pots, the time it takes to water them is so time consuming. I'm currently using 2 connected 55 gal drums, gravity fed through a hose. Just curious what y'all have done to simplify your watering technique. Thanks.
