    Tip for anyone building this. Use reverse on your holesaw, for a nice slightly melted finish, and minimize plastic shavings. The result is very pleasing.

      Weed is native to central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. By the time the Chinese were cultivating it for its psychoactive effects, convoys from the area that is now Afghanistan Pakistan India had a hue of colored buds with different effects presented to the Chinese guy who claimed to have discovered it as a medicine. Sounds like sinsemilia to me Furthermore, the oldest evidence of use is from the 3 aforementioned countries, along with Nepal, along with Assyrians, Scythians, etc. Even the oldest archeological evidence of Judaism found an alter with psychoactive resin on it.

      I have built something similar, and it worked very well. Unfortunately I didn't back up the photos I took on my phone which was subsequently stolen so I can't post them as proof.
      Unfortunately I also used cheap totes which became brittle in the sun and collapsed after two years or so. But I'm putting a new setup together with some refinements and will take photos as I go.

    Used a very similar system for cloning. Found the most important part to these type of systems (well at least for cloning..imagine growing would benefit), is plugging the pump into a Repeat Cycle Timer/repeating timer/whatever else they call them. It turns the power (pump) On for a certain period of time, and cuts the juice for a certain period of time (ex. ON 1 minute/OFF 3 minutes or some can be set for custom times) The roots need time breath/dry out a bit....when I made a few DIY bubble cloner/aerocloners in the past, would always had mixed results. Some would sprouts root, but many of the stems would rot and turn to mush. After plugging into a repeating timer...no problems.

Now the roots stay out of the sump. I also made PVC cages that sit on top of each cover, and twine to help vining plants grow upward. Wrapped those cages with Mylar sheets from Amazon, added a couple of grow lights - and suddenly I’m a farmer. I have no idea what I’m doing but this is fun. All because of you three guys, thank you!

      You will need to use a hydroponic nutrients. They are available from many places online. We use the Flora Grow series of nutrients from General Hydroponics, but there are many other options out there. Here is the video of us changing the solution czcams.com/video/gYrTTLbl3Ro/video.html
      You will need to change the water and nutrients from time to time but that depends on what plants you are growing. When the plants have drunk about half of the nutrient solution it is time to change it. This could be every couple days for large tomato plants in hot sun or less than once a month for lettuce in cool conditions. It all depends on the plant.

    Till this day I have shown this video to everyone interested in starting aeroponics. This video got me motivated and gave me every detailed part of building the system. We even started sending systems similar to this to Africa. A couple system's growing peas and other protein filled vegetables helps add to the one bowl of rice. Growth in children is stunted due to the lack of nutrients in their food. This video helped a lot of people, thank you again guys!

      I am the person who designed this particular setup. Scott simply showcased my work for the Family Plot at Stefan's request. I have numerous renditions of this design in practice. It warms my heart beyond words to learn that you are sending this technique to hungry people around the world. Please accept my humble gratitude for spreading this technique as far as you have. It is all I have dreamed of for ages. I want money far less than I want the world to be a better place for all of us. Thank you, my friend!

    • @FamilyPlotGarden
      @FamilyPlotGarden  Před 6 lety +132

    • @wetwerk2178
      @wetwerk2178 Před 6 lety +46

      We've incorporated this into our many designs for this tote. We've designed and built them into setups that use a single reservoir which gravity-feeds the totes on demand. We like to keep this particular incarnation at hobbyist level and not overcomplicate things.

    • @Joshuatreelocal

    • @Silverweed
      @Silverweed Před 6 lety +30

      Yeah just adding water wouldn't be enough, but a gravity fed reservoir of nutrient solution with a float sensor and a valve to automatically refill would be SO COOL.
      I have these exact same totes but only used one for the reservoir, I'm doing dutch buckets. I'm definitely going to try and make one of these setups with the spray manifold for outdoor vegetables in the spring.
