Duuuuuuude I just caught up on this wolvy berzerk style throw down You took FKIN SENNNNND IT and YOLO to another level here. No offense but you've helped me immensely cause I now don't feel alone about how long it takes me to water this should be hella more enjoyable to watch than to do ourselves so thanks for takin 196 for the team I dig your thoughts on potential bottom feed. Just a thought and prolly stupid one but what if you got rockwool slabs, cut holes for the cups in the rockwool, put all of it in 1 piece flood tray, and stick blumats

Bunch have popped
Up

Haha thanks man

I’m thinking about sliding sheets of rockwool in under

Just take a hose in there and let er rip

Right? Just needs to make it rain

Honestly, a spray bottle would probably work really well right now to water everything. A shelf with a small humidifier would work too to help keep everything moist. What are you using to water them now?

Any grow that creates an optical illusion when you scroll past the images is bound to be madness.

I had some free time at work; figured I'd take some work off your hands with illustrating a possible drip line setup:

I'd think with the small solo cup diameter, it'd probably be hell to try to loop the drip line along. Maybe I'm wrong there.
It'd also be hell to cut and hook up tees and emitters to each individual cup, but you'd probably see it staying in place more since you wouldn't have all that tension in the tight loops.

Getting the right GPH is gonna be a whole other endeavor

Also I don't know the exact difference between gardening rockwool and insulation rockwool, but damn if it would be an interesting experiment to throw down a few batts of insulation rockwool under all those cups and let them have at it.

This is what I'm currently laying down in my attic. Each batt is ~7" thick; 24x48. It honestly seems compressed about the same as gardening rockwool and, as far as I know, there is nothing added to the process for insulation. I dunno. Some food for thought.

I was looking at insulation rock wool too to put it in the bottom

A pump sprayer, lol.

One giant root matt

That was my line of thought.
Preventing mold on the bottom would be the kicker. Would definitely need some big trays to fit those batts. Botanicare has you covered... at a cost

I have 1 question how ya gunna deal with the run off man this is pure madness I love it

H202 and hypochlorite to hopefully keep things sterile.

I dont know how the drip line will lay with the cups was thinking about some little
Plastic clips to connect to the cup and cable but it’s just so small and flimsy

We’ll have to try it and see, maybe support it

Those co2 tanks at work are looking really good too lol
