BigCube's grow show and tell.

[420Andrew]

The solo cup grow is oddly inspirational, awesome job on that!

I think I may have to rob you of that technique. That's rope right? Did you just tie it to the stem. Or if I missed it in your thread just let me know so I don't make you have to repeat yourself. So simply brilliant.

Be my guest man! I would be honored
The rope is cotton. It goes to the bottom of the net pot and frays out. I just busted a couple little pieces of plastic out of the pot bottom to squeeze the rope in.

From there I used a garlic mesh bag stuffed with promix hpcc. But a peat puck or rockwoll would work just as good I'm sure. You may even be able to just use more rope. Lol

I only used the garlic mesh and promix to test if it would work like a peat puck... It does!

But also as you've seen with the solo cup wick system, you could just stick the entire solo cup in to your bucket.

I am going to keep refining the method, so if you have any ideas let me know! My next attempt I was just going to do the same thing but with a rockwool cube.

Maybe I'll try a seed after that.. lol. I hate the 4 plant limit man. I would have so many tests going right now if I could. What I really want to work on I call "wickenscrog"... I'm sure you can tell what it is from the name... think my small tent.. but wickenscrog.

this process, cost some... less handy, idiots... significant dollars and months searching for special order clerks, who didn't retire, or die. very clever!

Fuck man you have a great mind for this shit. I am definitely going to give this a try on my next grow. It makes absolute sense and I can see it increasing early growth rates even faster with the possibility of rockwool cubes. With those there is 0 need to transplant. I can see replacing my hydroton with that and just starting straight in the system with a wick and croutons

Wow yeah, croutons! That's an awesome idea man! Love this community driven R&D. I don't have any croutons but I do have some cubes I can chop up

As soon as my big girl comes down, I'll start in on it. Should be a week or so.

Will be watching for it.. really great shit man. I'm pumped to see the outcome.

that is fascinating. did u say how u circulate the nutes? airstone? powerhead? prolly save u some money, aqua.

 

[SPARECHANGE]

sorry- feedin "soil", from above?

I have an inline pump 210 gph I think. I gave the wrong info on it in my thread.

alright, smart guys- check this out. I'd love to see ur diy tweaks to this.

 

[SPARECHANGE]

i don't see that having a current, if u did, supplement, fluidly. tweak #1...

 

[BigCube]

Heh. It's pretty much the same thing minus the wick. The bottom of their pot has a nipple that sticks in the water acting as a wick. Once the roots get long enough they enter the reservoir. They could toss in an air stone to make it better. But keeping dirt around dwc systems is a recipe for disaster.

For a plant like cannabis to much soil. The principal would be similar but only enough to get it going. The goal is hydro not combination. That would have inferior growth rates compared to what @BigCube is attempting.

 

[BigCube]

Yeah, end game is pure hydro. Hopefully fast out of the gate.. in DWC, the bottleneck has always been from cutting to netpot. I'm attempting to widen that bottles neck up some

If this goes well it's going to make things so much easier and a fair bit faster out of the gate.

bottleneck:

i laid those stretchers, down, aqua: scropped. :(

u zealot r liars n whoors... gonna bypass me! i would get the pots, b in croutons... fox farms, the next, roots, the following and by Monday, I'd b out $500, b Solomon grundy, bat guano, crazy- have fried a season... u'd b laughing at me, harvesting pounds and I'd b back to killin seedlings.
u bet ur comments make me middle finger, ANGRY ! ;D

 

[SPARECHANGE]

next challenge: create a plant spreader, from the top, dorn. plants from seed, r pretty semetical. know those claws in springs, when i drop shyt? something, like that, only lockable, expanding. sell it to groyo...

u guys r diy gods- were u to start a thread, voting for cool n unavailable tools... imagine the possibilities. take votes... however many of u, compete to build ur personal best... start talkin to reps... b a fun, timelapse, video... makeup, special effects COMPETITION, meets: BUUUU DDDD! could get- let's get ready to rumble guy, don king n mjke Tyson, as ref. THE KING OF BUDS

another crazy Canadian showed me his plans, for a muffler (intake/exhaust). cheap. looked pretty cool. i can post it, tomorrow, when she stops looking at me, like THISSSSSS.... if u like. the guy wanted it shared, gratis.

thats like hempy style .Ive done a few before with 2 buckets ,its works good.I didnt like how the res bucket got slimy so I would just change the bucket every week which got to be a pita when they got big.These were back when I was rockin cfls lol
