if you cant be polite please get offline. you should at least try to see that the place you are at is competetive, agressive and opinionated, bottom line hostile. i mean theese are people growin flowers not a monster truck rally!

great thing with dripper systems is you feed only as much as the plants need and no wasted water and you end up using everything from the tank and never discard anything. recirculating systems you end up dicardign loads of unused water and it is just wasteful. it is possible to grow plants in trays without any drainage holes at all as the medium just soaks up everything and dries out. a plant can grow in a tub without any drainage what so ever without effecting growth

It is a good idea to periodically delete rude and unhelpful comments from your videos so everyone else does not have to read them.

I am going to build one of these and if you could take a look at some of my videos to see if i can do something better thank you

you have managed to make it look waaaaaay harder than it is. This would turn many would be Hydroponicers off in a jiffy.
But anyway, thanks for the upload, nice system. And good luck growing

The initial cost is but all but the grow medium is reusable.

@growskillz
You have no clue what you are talking about. This system worked fine and it’s a good idea to soak the rockwool to devolve the lime left from manufacturing or it will fuck with your PH.

There are so many things wrong with this top feed system!!!!! Why are you putting barely rooted clones in to a flower room?!?! Why do you only have one dripper per rockwool? You dont need to soak those 6×6’s for 6 hours, maybe 15-30 minutes tops… You spent way more money than you needed to, it may look pretty but your methods prove to be your weakest link.

@1982FMJ adjusting the flow rate more often than not involves a section of pipe that can regulate its size thus flow rate. meaning there is no point in the pipes larger size unless its pumping high flow.
most of the time to reduce flow rate a segment is made smaller (a valve) meaning less water will pass. this segment would become blocked negating your efforts with larger pipes.
perhaps a professional pump could maintain pressure while pumping small volumes through thick hose ? i dont know.

it would still drip if you adjusted the flow rate. Think of when a tap drips and that is a large diametre tube.

@1982FMJ larger holes mean it would pour not drip but yer some new design would be nice.

it’s a shame they don’t make dripper systems for organic liquid nutrients as organic nutrients become scummy very quickly and block those 4mm dripper lines. HAs anybody tried organic nutrients in a dripper system for soil plants system. I personally think they should use larger diamtre tubing for dripper system with dripper that have larger holes that don’t block so easily for use for organic nutrients. Should be easy to make on though

Rockwool is an excellent medium but the cost adds up over time and trying to dispose of it in the trash just means one more thing that might look suspicious.
Hydrotron clay pellets you can used over and over again.
What ever works best for you is the the best method.

so why wouldnt u just plant them in the rock wool slabs? instead of cubes and wasteing all that rockwool…
