Sorry to butt in on your conversation; it's just I can't help overhearing, and it's interesting! I'm planning a set up, and so far have been concentrating on getting lights and germination stuff. Time to think of what to do with the plants when they're grown a little.

How would your set-up work? The plant is in a net-pot in a hole in the bucket lid...what's in the bucket - water with fertilizers? The roots grow out of the bottom of the pot, into nutrients....? Each pot with an airstone or two....how does the air pump figure in the set-up?

Hope I haven't asked anything too dumb. So far only considered growing in coir or pellets, but your way might work out cheaper. And I've only ever grown veg and stuff in the ground outside, never done indoor growing before.

Cheers.

yeah the older u get the faster the time passes. but what if we all were unemployed .. we wouldnt have the food we have today or the technology and we would probly have shitty timber houses with no heating ..

This work shit is a conspiracy if u think about it.

Uh-huh, we're raised to be slaves to acquisition and consumption. Can't cope without a wage, and most people barely get by on what they earn. Meanwhile, the bosses get richer - the rich/poor divide is growing in many countries. If the inequality in distribution of profits, the virtual impossibility of creating a financially viable alternative way of life, and the stigma/negative stereotypes attached to people who try DON'T add up to forced labour for the benefit of others, ie, slavery...well, I'll be a pilchard....

its easy the bucket just holds water with the nutes and airpump provides the oxgygen..your better off starting your seeds in the dwc , grab some rockwool and just keep watering until the roots hit the water

[jimmy130380]

And I'm back
just a small 11 hr day in the pits of he'll
fucking flat out
but the good news is at lunch I dropped a quick 450 on heaps of nutes and supplies for the hydro event of my life
I'm not running a log but I will take a pic of set up
I want you guys to tell me what cha think and ideas on improvement
and I sold my dirt bike yay less shit in the shed
rock on and yo right legal fuck the evil overlord but I'm the boss
I just like complaining

 

[jimmy130380]

But I'm a young fair boss
without the trust and help of my team I would be still living on bread and jam

 

[yadayada]

Thanks, smallclosetgrower. I think I'll do that.

Do I need to do anything to make sure the roots don't rot? Would a mesh pot like this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NET-MESH-POT-80MM-X-75MM-10-PACK-HYDROPONIC_W0QQitemZ220489247653QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics?hash=item33562eeba5 be suitable? Size?

Also, what is dwc?!

If I get a pump with dual outlets, then I can use that for just 2 pots? Or can I use a long pipe and attach more than one air stone to each outlet?

How do I figure out nutrient amounts per litre of water in my buckets?

Cheers

 

[kmoo]

yadayada - 8 litres would provide enough space for a decent sized girl to grow

knickers - yeah i was just showin a pic n description to try n get an idea of what i'm after. i'll give big w a crack. oooh something that's not coco, how very scary! ha

deep water culture - growing in water!!! lol

the nutrients tell you on the packaging how much to add per litre

 

[smallclosetgrowr]

if u buy a pump with only 2 outlets i would only use 2 stones 1 per outlout, and dont make the mistake i did by connecting the 2 tubes to make 1 just for the entry point thru the hole on the bucket ..u will lose alot of power. as long as u keep the light out and have movement in the water u shouldnt get root rot, i also think it helps to add some type of enzyme in your water , for example hygrozyme/cannazyme

 

[jimmy130380]

Kmoo go big with the air pump
it's so importaint I run a four outlet in 20 lt bucket
go big go big

why do you try not to swear when replying to me?

 

[kmoo]

oh and a big dirty thumbs down to the season finale of skins. think it's lost it's sparkle and i will only be downloading it next year if i'm hard up. they're gonna do the effie style lead in with freddy's little sister. bah humbug

[jimmy130380]

kmoo start up a gmail account so I can send you a invite to iptorrents
it's super quick
and I get frequent flying points so next time I fly to the third world I don't have to fly second class

 

[yadayada]

if u as long as u keep the light out and have movement in the water u shouldnt get root rot,

Ahh, that's why kmoo wants the lid! glad u told me!

Airstone like this be good? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380207685676&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

*yay* thanks guys - this'll suit me much better than the set up I was thinking of.

hey, they got a picture of me here better be careful I don't or I'll end up yikes!

 

[Miyagi]

Hey, I bought skins a while ago. Thought the first season was pretty cool, the second a little less cool an the third (the effie one) pretty shite. It seemed to me that the early ones were kind of 'real' in the use of drugs, relationships etc. but by the later episodes esp. season 3 they are just trying to be extreme and shocking. If you like skins download some Shameless! Best show ever! Frank Gallager is my hero. I was supposedly made by the same people (It came before skins) and it still rocks after 6 seasons.

 

[kmoo]

jimmy what are you on about frequent flyer wha? lol i'm lost. i'll do the gmail thing momentarily, just started watching ricky gervais. oh me oh my i'm quite super high

miyagi i'm up to date on shameless, frank gallagher is a fuckin abortion of a human being lol i was living in england when i started watching it and there was an estate just like it very close to me, horrifying people lol i wont say what just happened at the end of skins but it was a feckin disappointment
