Why are you using one on the bottom?

to glue the top one to

Why are you using one on the bottom?

for more stability. it was wobbly with just the poles

ok good well that’ll help immensely!!

expose to water will cause degradation of that glue by destroying its adhesive properties, heatgun right?

Gotcha! I gorilla glued mine to the bottom of the base to fix that problem as long as it’s stable and doesn’t fall over on ya!

yeah i think gorilla glue might have been better

Gorilla glue is waterproof, and bonds super strongly (just make sure you use enough to get a good seal

your pot is gonna fall over and damage your plant, rethink the solution

hot glue is also waterproof, still exposure to water will damage it.

definitely will go get something before the next watering maybe i’ll look into the gorilla glue

hmmm what would be better to put there?

 

[ayeob]

this was kinda thrown together with what i had so i’m open to different solutions

 

[GreenGalaxyFarm]

hmmm what would be better to put there?

plastic welding, not the type running on amps :)

Hot glue is fine. You would need long exposure for it to degrade. Water touching it for a few minutes every so often won’t hurt the integrity.

Excessive heat would damage it faster than water will. You’re fine and your plant won’t fall over unless you didn’t let it settle long enough.

it’s all good just look around your house for something, you may change it a few times but just makesure there’s airflow from now on!!..

[ayeob]

okay yeah i definitely might change it up if i think of a better solution. i’m just glad i had the pvc pipe and some hot glue. i thought about putting some screws in it but i only had big screws

You’re fine mate. You’ll prob switch it up a few times before you figure out what works best for you. The important thing is they aren’t sitting on the floor.

Be sure to adjust your lights height if you haven’t to make up for the lift of the plants.
