Hi guys & gals,
I would like to setup a grow tent for 1 plant in DWC for an old person ( over 73 years old, so the maintenance has to be very easy, and a DYI solution is not practical ), using the Lighthouse Max 0,76 m2 tent model, but I am hesitating as there are few products available even for those 1 pot DWC system.
For the moment, my first choice would be the Alien Hydro Bubbler as it has a tank of 55L which is better for the root.
With smaller tank, there are also the Autopot, Aquafarm, and some Oxypots models.
So I have some questions :
1. how easy is it to access/view the roots in the Alien system ? is there an access or do we have to totally lift the upper lid ? Is the upper lid inserted into the lower part or is it simply laid on top ?
2. how easy is it to totally empty the Alien ( ex : on the Oxypot XL, when only one plant is grown, then you can easily check and access the tank from the 2 unused holes) but that model is too wide for the tent ).
In the Alien model, is it possible to use the level tube, located on the side, to connect an external water pump and FULLY empty the tank from there ?
3. which system would make it the easiest to introduce a heater and a water pump in the tank ? is there enough space to make rooms/drill for additional cables/pipes heater cable under the lid ? is the plastic thick enough to be drilled ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers
