Just sitting around kinda bored thinking what can I do with 18.5 ltr mineral water container. I gets the idea to convert this container into a hydro dripper system but allwing space for the roots to drop into the nutrient solution.
Right so i cut the top part off the container very carefully. Then added the holes so that i can attatch the dripper lines I used a solder Iron as not to shatter the plastic. I made 4 holes in the lid soon to be the bottom of the pot. Next I attached the dripper lines to the unit. I am going to fill the top with Clay balls PH to 4 The nutrient will be pumped up from the resavuar by small pump. Ill add a ceramic air stone for super charged nutrient solution. Ive got to add the clear air pipe to the side to act as a Nutrient level indicator. I also need to add a drain off valve to the unit. Ill get her up and running tonight and leave her see throutgh so you can see how she works then i will have to cover the bottom of the unit in silver foil Tape and make a Mylar cap to fit the top so the unit is Light tight. Let us all no what you think should be good for 1 plant.
I have now nearly finished the bucket just a drain off tap to be fitted and the clayballs to go in the top of the unit and the lid to go. Let me no what you all think ? Ime going to flower a big bud seedling in her in a couple of weeks time.
