The outside of mine has not stained, but the inside of the tank is around the water line.

Thanks for watching. I'm glad it helped!

@@hootshackoriginal I've already made 2 graduation gnomes lol never enough free time right? Lol thanks again, bless

At first, you don't have to add much but as the plants get larger, they use more water. Any time you add water, you should add nutrients. I find it easiest to completely change the water and add nutrients every 10 days. I have been in a hurry and just added water when needed occasionally.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm glad it helped you. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

I like getting crafts done early so they're ready for the season :)

@@hootshackoriginal alr fair

My pleasure!

It sounds like you got the wrong sponges. I had to contact the manufacturer once and they were very responsive. I did order the wrong sponges once and I cut one into small pieces to bridge that gap where they don't touch the water and it worked. I hope that helps.

I learned this later. I'm not the best video maker but I hope it still helped.

Don't forget to subscribe to my channel. I have some cute gift tags that I'll be posting soon!

I never noticed that the video stopped. I'm so sorry about that. Visit hootshack.com/how-to-make-a-gnome-beard-out-of-yarn/ and the photo instructions are in version 1 of the gnome beards. Thank you!

Thank you. I'm glad the video helped.

I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching :)

I used a Dollar Tree door mat for the center but you could also use felt if you stretch it tightly.

Thank you for the follow!

I'm so glad to hear it helped you. Enjoy. They're really fun.

On the instructions it says not to unplug to not mess up the light/pump cycle. Is there a specific time you unplug and clean it ?

@@kelleroeth2186 I clean mine every 3 - 4 weeks. If you lift the white lid and you see pink mold growing around the edges of the water line, it's time to clean it. I would imagine temperature in a home or humidity could cause this to grow at different rates. I grow flowers a lot so every time they reach a height that outgrows the garden, I fully clean it. That is usually around 4 weeks for most flowers. Some are even sooner. I hope that helps. :)

@Keller Oeth It says at least once a month in the directions, but depending on the type of plants you are growing and how fast your plants grow determine when to clean the system. It does get a bit of a build-up by that time, and the roots of your plants can get very long, bushy, and intertwined. So you be the judge of when you think your plants have matured enough to be moved temporarily if keeping in the system or ready to transfer out to the garden or pots before cleaning it. I waited just over a month because at the time, the weather conditions were not right for transplanting to the unheated greenhouse or into the garden.

Thank you!

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! Enjoy!

Thank you and I'm glad you found the link. Enjoy!

Oh good! They still have it. Yay!

It looks like they may have discontinued the yarn I used. It's called Roving yarn.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed them. On my blog I have a picture of another one I made with different colored rope.

This would look cute on the front door instead of a traditional wreath, a large one.❤

Thank you so much. They're fun to make. If you take a look at my blog, I also made some with red rope and white yarn.

My husband bought me a new one for Christmas and it is cordless and sits on a stand. I love it! Thank you for watching!

I love that idea, too! I bought some larger rope but haven't made a video yet. Stay tuned and thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you. You as well!

You''re welcome. I'm glad it helped!

I watched someone do something similar with macrame cord but I didn't have any so I decided to try rope. I raided my craft stash as well. Enjoy and thanks for watching.

No doubt and I contributed! Ha ha!
