maybe a new dripper idea, will it work?

hi all,


new to the site, (first post) ive recently desided to undergo some personal growing adventures

i am currently building my own hydroponic system detailed by the mr. green videos.

however when i was googling the plant dripper (side note i had no success, so if you know where to get a cheap one dont be shy) to find out how much and where to buy it for the best price i ran across this enteresting little product.

Ace - Ace Tree: Lawn & Garden: Plant & Lawn Care: Plant & Tree Food: Plant Spikes & Tree Stakes: Jobe's&reg: Drip Feeder for Flowering Plants (05704)

(it has a perfect rating for flowers 5 out of 5)

im not sure now well it would work. thats where you come in, i searched to see if i could find any discussions on this product but i havent had any luck...

anyway i was wondering what everyones thoughts where..

its cheap, waters for you, and has the nutrients in it.... any ideas?


i found some info on the product: i found it online so it may not be right? im going to pick some up later but hows it sound?

Total Nitrogen (N) 0.007 Arsenic <0.25
Available Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) 0.015 Cadmium <1

I think it's a good concept but overall you would want as much control as possible, using personal judgment, etc... Not really as efficient as letting your soil dry out a little or mixing a diluted strength of nutes. If you get a chance to try it out though you should tell us how it goes.

im planning on trying... its not going to kill my bank account to try, but i thought that i would run the idea past some in the know people first.

how long should i wait for my plants to get before i start using nutrients, my seeds have just cracked so i have a little bit of time ahead of me.
