Small homemade hydro grow idea?

  1. Trying not to spend any money while thinking small i put together this little contraption.... anyone think it will work? Have any ideas of improvement? (minus lighting and grow stones)

    The bigger container is a fish tank and the smaller is obviously a 2 liter. I used air pump and air stone from fish tank and put it in 2 liter. for the pot nets i cut holes in a plastic cup and set it in the 2-liter.

  2. is that your dorm room?
     
  3. no, just a bedroom in a basement.
     
  4. I see a lot of things wrong with this setup... I would scrap it and read up on what cannabis needs to thrive and save up for more suitable equipment.

  5. looks like the one pot method to cook up some meth lol but try it out, keep us updated.
     
  6. So heres a little update.. im using the 2 liter wick system with some bark as my medium in a cylinder fish tank so it has no chance of falling over. i have 1 airstone and 2 cfl's. Germination has began.

  7. You already have 99% of the items needed just go to Walmart and get a coffee container and a net pot
     
  8. gonna have some mighty wet roots :)
     
  9. So i decided to completely scrap this ridiculous idea and take a better aproach at this as swaggasaurusrex suggested. (sounds like an adult swim character lol no disprespect)

    Will post pics of inside when its done.

    And still.... no money spent.

  10. i havent spent any money on it yet. its a weird display shelf from a local store wrapped in contractor bags with velcro door. got the idea from Mr.Greens "i grow chronic" lol. and i can easily move shelves as plant or plants grow. its a little smaller than bedroom door. thinking 1 5 gallon bucket should be ok.
     

  11. first problem, heat
    second problem, lack or reflective mylar on the inside
    aaaaand GO!
     
  12. Thats why i havent showed the inside yet. Havent put in my reflective material or decided on lighting or ventalation. Trying to do this with no money involved except for cost of mylar and bulbs. I have a couple of lamps im going to disassemble and make one 4 cfl light fixture with and i have a 6 in fan to pull air in but no exhaust fan yet.
     
  13. i didnt want both ideas on same thread since the other one is junk.
