Yes that actually would have been a much better design.. This was my first time building this so i just used quick ideas. This method could be perfected much much more. it is just a baseline

Im not sure yet if it is.. The roots are already growing wild. I would have used a much bigger PVC tube if i could have redone it.

Cool norcalmatt! thats great buddy sorry i had to waste my time to share that with you guys. As i said this was my first time trying this out and there were many many imperfections. But fuck it dude.. i tried and this is how it ended up. Im sure earls is wayyyyyyyy better than my set up as you stated but put this out there so people could get ideas from it and create their own from it... peace
