Well your medium would be rockwool like I stated, but the res would be underneathe the plant collecting drip with your pump in it.

hey fullmetal,I just seen a post where you were interested in honey oil? I'm not sure if you have looked it up or know how to make it yet but it's made by running propane through a tube full of weed (i use a turkey baster) onto a plate any then letting that plate float on hot water to evaporate...

im thinking a drip or spray system for growing instead of a hydro. drip is cheap enough and you can use rockwool. it will still drip alot but if you put a storage bin underneathe youll be set. you can even run the pump from the storage bin and reuse the water from it. Try it out!

found alot of good sources but this site in particular has alot of good info all around http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/urban/upside-down-gardening.htm

and I think if the plant is able to get the proper amount of nutrients its not going to be like 'Holy shit I'm upside down! put me back upright!' but I'll try finding some sources to back up what I'm saying before I open my uneducated mouth too much :)

Don't they grow alot of plants on the space station?

That would be amazing to see work! It's always cool to have some sort of fun way of growing your plants instead of the old dirt in a bucket thing. I think you should give it a go and see if it works. I know that plants operate almost entirely off turger-pressure and from the looks of it, it...

WOW!!! check out the sources before replying negatively please... Bacteria break down urea and nitrites/nitrates to supply nitrogen to the plants... It's what nature does son... you think our shit and piss is just toxic forever? it's part of nature. I don't believe that fish diseases for the...

sick sad, awesome source! I didn't even think about the fish waist actually supplying the plants nutrients. Everyone that doubted my idea, check it out, used since the romans son! ::clears throat:: sorry... anyways I think I'm going to research aquaponics and see if i can make it happen, would...

Oh and potter, Even though youre against my idea I think the seperate res thing is a cool idea if i ran a timed pump from one to the other. It would prob be pretty effective in a drip and drain system if you had a bunch of fish in the draining res. Anyone able to find the nutrient concentration...

Thanks beast, I'll research species a little bit before I purchase one, they have a small selection at my local store. I'm thinking about the nutrients thing and even with inorganic nutes, It should be able to survive. If you think about it plants don't really require a substaintially toxic...

Ok everybody... I think some people are misunderstanding the concept of this. This is an expirement in which, if it works, will give me a grow enviroment and a fish tank all in one. Noone finds that cool? to have fish swimming around with your the roots? I understand I can prevent algae with...

Thank you Imabeast, First positive reply +rep for your knowlegable input. I will keep you posted and anyone else interested with pics as soon as its up and running.

55 liters but thanks for the reply. you think one or two will do it?

ok, well, as stated in my original post this is an expirement. That is why I bought a clear container in the first place. anyone want to help me out and not try and change my idea? Anyone know whether or not a fish will die in organic nutes?

Do you think it will die with organic nutrients as well? I was also thinking if the fish idea didnt work maybe a fish tank carbon filter will...

Where did you get that avatar? sick looking, almost rep worthy lol

Hi everyone, I am attempting to do something a little out there and I am hoping this is an original idea but let me know if I am wrong. I went to walmart recently, picked up a 55liter clear storage bin and I am planning on starting a dwc grow with it. I myself have had some trouble with algae in...

thanks, ill check that out. also, do you think it could possibly be PH? maybe the nutes caused an imbalance?

here is a picture. I hope someone can help her out, she deserves better. :bigjoint:
