Napa_boy Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi guys, currently hand watering autos in 60/40 in 11l square pots at present. I’m looking to automate my feeding/run off, been looking at the Medusa kit from OSGS. It seems to be fairly reasonably priced compared to some other stuff I’ve seen........but noticed there’s not much by way of info about it, Has anybody used it or using it at present? Whats the general consensus? Decent or a load of shite haha. thanks in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYZYGY Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi I use the Medusa base trays in my flower tent and love them, game changer. Everything else is in my system is DIY - saved a lot not buying a complete system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYZYGY Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Glad it was useful. It's quite rewarding to put your own system together, I'd recommend it. I feed using two open 4mm lines to each pot, fed from a 225l res. Some photos in a diary post below: It's long, but this thread has some good info on auto-feeding in coco: Happy reading and let me know if there's anything I can help with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommytopper Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I made a 1.8x1.6 diy run to waste table which is basically 11m ply boards with 4x2 timber round the edges stood covered with a pond liner on 4 legs 1 shorter then the others so my run off can run to the bottom left corner where I used a caravan sink drain fitting with some flexi hose that runs through a hole under my garage, the only problem I’m having is my drippers are getting clogged up but that might be down to the nutrients I’m using have just made a post asking for advice on this you will be able to get a rough idea from these photos any questions just ask 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonerwizard Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Thought I would bump this thread rather than starting a new one. im looking at the Medusa system as I’m struggling to feed my coco plants enough to stop build up and these seem a decent way of dealing with it. On their site they say that their 4 pot is best for a 1.2 square tent but I usually run 6. I’m assuming I could just get the 4 set and buy two extra trays. has anyone had any issues with leaks on the system? Wizard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukbudz Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 @stonerwizard you wouldn't be able to fit six unfortunately mate as the external size is just over 41cm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonerwizard Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Thanks for letting me know and saving me finding out the hard way 4 will be more manageable anyway Wizard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a large round tray that I've made holes in either side and it sits across 2 medusa trays so allows for 3 plants over 2 trays (I could t bare throwing a plant away) supports the weight fine and the run off drains to either pot just fine (pic was taken before drip lines installed. I'm fully dripper system now) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonerwizard Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 @sweettooth what a good idea. That might be a good way around it for me. Wizard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
