If you can I'd like to see what the inside looks like. The tub and moving parts and what not. Do you have it setup on a timer. Still a little confused as to how this contraption works.

All that's in the tub is 3 air stones and a heater. In the bottom.of the pot is clay balls in a net pot and about 10cm.of soil on top

And in the bottom rez is just a air stone and pump to pump water to the top rez every 2 days so the water levels never dropping while I go away.
Recently pulled all really large fan leaves off and tied her down. So so many tops coming out its crazy

So basically it is a recirculating automatic soil grow? Which the roots will eventually reach the rez below making it DWC as well? Do have it right now?


She looks good dude. If you turn the lights off you want get those lines. It won't mess anything up shutting them down for 5 mins. At least nothing has ever happened to my grows. I usually take pics of the flower right when the light comes on. Just unplug for a few get my shots and plug her back in.

The clone in the back looks like it needs some serious help. It looks super yellow and the leaves are curling, tips looked burned as well.

Yeah you've got.the idea man that's exactly what it is but it didn't take long for the? Roots to get in the rez haha. Yeah I'll try time it right next time and take a pic I'm.not gonna turn it off and on because once its off it take 20 mins to cool down and start up again...
And yes the system is going great. That picture was taken exactly 2 weeks from.being put in the system and its loving it.
I dont care abouut the clone its just chilling there 10 weeks ish old haha.

Well it is definitely an original setup. I've never seen one like this anyway.

That little you may want to give the gift of mercy to lol. Maybe take it out back and pull a yeller.

Yeh I would put her outside but were getting the odd frost at the moment and then she will be even worse off. Its starting to actually grow a little now.

Hey guys I've been currently making a new system I have not heard of yet or seen anywhere else. My idea consists of a normal dwc setup in a 35 litre storage container with air stones in the bottom as usual but it has a twist, I have bought 2 net pots and 2 normal garden pots and combined them to make half hydro half soil. By cutting a hole in the bottom of the normal pot and placing the net pot inside of it having the majority of the net pot poking out the bottom. The net pot and half the garden pot will be filled with clay balls and soil on top. Basicly I'm doing this because I have to go away. For 1 week sometimes and have know one to check on my plants. I have also got a 50 litre container which the 35 litre setup sits in and acts as a storage tank . I have a pump in the 50litre tank that will turn on for 5 minutes every 2 days and soak the soil and run down into the 35 litre. And so water does not over flow out the top when its self watering I have a high water hole where the water will simply recycle back into the bottom tank to be sucked up again next watering. Also the grow will be behind a secret door in my wardrobe that leads under my house. no one knows about and not noticeable, 250 watt hps and mh. Thanks for reading, any tips or ideas are welcome. Cheers, sniffmybuds
