I did this with straight hydroton and failed, do you ph the water.
I ph'd the water to 6. It's supposed to be similar to DWC as far as pH. I used 5.6 or 5.8 in my DWC and let it drift to 6.3 before I'd reup itI did this with straight hydroton and failed, do you ph the water.
Are you going to leave water in those or do they have drain holes? I see issues coming I think.
There's drain hole about 2 inches up. I got them sitting in plastic containers to catch runoff when adding new solution. Right now just plain water 6.0pH.Are you going to leave water in those or do they have drain holes? I see issues coming I think.
Below the drain hole the water stays in. You water it every day to give it fresh solution to replace the old. It's an original hempy setup. The ones with coco are variants of hempy systemsAre you going to leave water in those or do they have drain holes? I see issues coming I think.
To me it looks like he's got them sitting in a homemade drain pan so when he waters it drains out the hole on the side and evaporates. Kinda dirty. Mine I'm just doing 5 with my other organic soil autos I just started. I put my bottles inside plastic containers from Walmart lunch meat packages that I use for leftover storage lol.That’s pretty slick. Looks perfect for an SOG style grow. Are those essentially self-wicking buckets running on a flood/drain table ?
I think you're right. There is algae around the hole where the excess drains. Although I'm down to 3 plants now. The other 2 didn't make it. 1 didn't Germ and the other just wouldn't take off after germination. The 2 red poisons and tge purple punch auto are flowering right now and seem to be ok.Im along for the ride.. but i think I can see a possible algae issue in the future with just thin white tape letting light in the sides of the bottles..
