This is finishing up the new hydro system that I've started here.
The hardest and most annoying part of this project was cutting the holes in the pipes.
I've done 3 of them in total and used a separate one as the main water downpipe.
There's 20 plant slots on each pipe(10 on each side), about 60 in total because a few of them aren't accessible due to the frame blocking some.
I simply connected a new water line to existing dutch bucket irrigation system.
Drilled a small hole in each pipe and tied everything in place with some wire. The top one is blocked for now until I get another endcap.
Routed the water back to the reservoir.
The plants will be held in 50mm water pipe. I still need to find out the best length for them, for now they're 12 cm long.
Drilled a few holes in each for air circulation and to make it easier for the roots to get easier access to water.
And ... here it is.
I don't have any seedlings so I've moved a few salads from the buckets to see how they'll do.
Hope they'll like it in he pipes and won't suffer too much after being moved in there where the only grow media is water.
I've started a few seedlings. Basil, parsley, lettuce. Lined some 50mm pipe with a microgreen mat in order to hold the cococoir and gave them a nice home in a bucket, heh.
Aaaand... that's a wrap.
Cheers
