Green Wild Shark and Speed plus autos
not really the fabric pots are £6 each for the size i use,, and i pick the auto pots up for £2 each from a used hydroponics dealer, but i already had all these lying around and no the 13l buckets were 5 for £4 so total bargain and the liner is from the one pound shop (dollar store) and is 30m long by 2 m wide so in total ive saved a fair bitUmmmmmm.....Those plastics pots you just drilled a bunch of holes in cost more than fabric pots don't they? And then you had to purchase that fabric liner right?
Why not just get legit frabric pots?? Cheaper, better no doubt, and your not reinventing the wheel.
no it was just the smarmy childish dont try to reinvent the wheel comment so thought id join in. The wheel in this case being a pot, I suppose the Air pots/fabric pots are the ones reinventing the wheel but with great success, so yeah its easier to investigate someones post rather than try nd prove it wrong in the first place, i wouldnt post if i didnt think it could save people a lot of money. I could get REALLY cheap fabric pots in the one pound shop here but they arent very bigor good quality and arent rigid like the solid air pots are, and im pretty sure they are about £10+ for the sizes i use. . Look over my version of an autopot set up. next time I get chance ill post it, saves about half the full retail price of an 8 pot set up, In fact i just made one for someone with a 32 plant set up for the same price as a brand new flexi tank, and works just as well, hes on an all inclusive holiday now spending his savings while his ladies see to themselves for a week. ANYTHING that saves you money IMHO is worth a look over before trying to pull it apart .EVEN MY KIDS KNOW THAT . Anyway Happy growingI was asking.....here I can get a 6 pack for like 5 bucks free shipping. Id make my own too if they cost that much! Lol!
Oops....you dropped your mic. Are you a D.J. or something???? LMAO!
Some people's kids......
They all sort of sagged as i dont think i had the coco wet enough for them , SOOOO ive just had to go and sort out another 20 cuts and prepare a box dome for them, as it happened ive had a box with loads of pruned stems in the tent for a few days just sat in water, and by a miracle they were swelling at the bottoms and getting sort of white spots, so i decided that if they could try and root themselves as simply as that then ill just give them a helping hand and add to the conditions , left the top open giving them fresh air and circulation, but misted up the inside of a big plastic tub and just placed it in the corner of the tent , out of direct light like the pruned shite was, and lets see how they go, .20 Big Nug clones for an 8 week sog set up in 1x1m space. Once rooted ill repot into 3L poly pots then 2 weeks veg and flip to flower, maybe 30g per plant probs 20oz over a m2 in 8 weeks total. If they all root and it defo happens I'll split them to a new thread View attachment 1025522View attachment 1025523View attachment 1025524
@MHippie has a good design if you search his threads. It was one of his first ones.They all sort of sagged as i dont think i had the coco wet enough for them , SOOOO ive just had to go and sort out another 20 cuts and prepare a box dome for them, as it happened ive had a box with loads of pruned stems in the tent for a few days just sat in water, and by a miracle they were swelling at the bottoms and getting sort or white spots, so i decided that if they could try and root themselves as simply as that then ill just give them a helping hand and add to the conditions , loeft the top open giving them fresh air and circulation, but misted up the inside of a big plastic tub and just placed it in the corner of the tent , out of direct light like the pruned shite was, and lets see how they go, .
Think im just going to build a clone rooter sprayer bubbler thing i se them all using (not buying one though, i refuse to ! haha) Ill just make one from pvc tubing and the attachments with a big bucket and a pump i think, im sure ive seen a youtube video somewhere on how to do it( bet theres a thread on here somewhere too, maybe have a nosey about later and look)
I would just keep the coco soaked and see what happens.
Fogponics intro to my design plan
This is just an introduction to my plan. recently started looking into fogponics. I noticed a lot of pond foggers are being used with various degrees of success. I have started working on a setup that I think is awesome. Currently I have only a small portion setup as I am doing it slowly on...www.thcfarmer.com
Think it might be easier and cheaper to build one of these and it looks like it works really well
I mean Ive rooted inch long cuts with just a single node into the medium and had roots in less than a week, but ive got a feeling that ive cut them a little too small, lights are out in the 18/6 tent so ill have to wait till later to have a look at them, usually leave them on 24 hours but had to move them into the tent in the big box to do what i done last night and there is literally not a spare shoot on the ladies to take any more, so if this doesnt work, ill repot my bonsai mother and grow her out a touch to get cuts from her, then re-root a new mother to save time. Its just pissing me off that a plastic jug sat next to a propogation box with a light insiode can keep 10 cuts alive just sat in water, but the moment they are put into the prop box they deflate and sag, hopefully theyve picked up by tonight. Never had any trouble using just plugs and a t5 strip light in the past with a good success ratio too, but as i had no plugs at hand just went for washed and buffered coco in the nursery bags, wonder if that has somehow affected them? the seedlings love them roots out within 3 days on freshly germed seeds
