------------------
Hand water. Also I use a wet/dry vac to get the water from the overflow trays.

A little bit of curling in upper right corner of the pic. Used water/nutes with a ph of 5.7 for 3 feedings (1.5 days) before I caught it.

Nice Plants!
Cool. Simplified hydroponics. I have been feeding bato buckets this way...for about 2 months. "by hand"
And...I just bought the Institute of Simplified Hydroponics cd-rom http://www.carbon.org/cdrom3.htm
Based on: Extremely inexpensive hydro growing for impoverished 3rd world countries, and they use the method above with a slight variation.
1st. they drill a 3/4 inch hole 1" above bottom of any vessel that you can imagine & stuff an appropriate sized 4" length of hose for drainage...like in the above example. 2nd. they always...line the grower with black poly. for prevention against unwanted algae growth.
Hope this helps someone. Peace | |
