Possible set up idea.

hey guys, i found this picture on some stupid link some where and i was wondering.


so lets use the picture as an example, but on a larger scale, a home depot bucket running to a bunch of 1 gallon pots with trays.
if we filled the pots with 70% perlite and 30% vermiculite, threw an air pump in the home depot bucket, and had a tube run through all the trays, would it work? i figure it would be like a hempy bucket style grow with continuous water. all we would have to do is add water and nutrients if need be to the home depot bucket.

no...no..no..try to google home made hydro set-ups you can do it but its not quite that easy.

Or rather than have a tray, have the tube go straight through a pot. instead of a runoff hole like the hempy bucket, the tube would be set at 2 inches, it will stop filling and keep the buckets mini res full!

rubbermaid storage box hydro systems are cheap

WTF??? No comment

if you believe that leaving a pot of soil sitting in a tray of water is a good idea, i am very eager to see your grow setup. the closest idea to this is dwc, but i dont see anyone leaving a pot sitting in water.
