I have added a PVC 1 1/4" support that is hooked to pump. The output is outputting through a 3/4" PVC and is ready to be processed for different hydroponic techniques. I have included a movie of a simple Aeroponic Grow container that is fed from the pond and falls back into the water. Also a...

Hi You can over water rockwool and if it is constantly wet the oxygen that is available oxygen will be reduced and can turn brown can rot its better do water it and let it get a break to maximize the oxygen. The time between watering depends on many things like temperature, if it dries out...

Hi It is easy the bucket has a elbow through a rubber grommet {electrical department home depot} that creates a swivel that has a hose on it so you can monitor nutrient level and if you swivel it all thew way you can drain the old solution out of the hose and use in your dirt plants or trees...

Hi Thank you for your interest I posted some pictures. You are more than welcome to the bucket plans and more if you want. These were written in 2007 but still work as you know hydroponics works. http://tkrimo.com/hydroponics/bucket/bucket.zip Here are a couple of movies I made...

Here are some picts I took this morning. The light hours are down from the 13 I ran for two weeks. I foiled the growing area and added two clones. All of the plants are from seeds except for 2 small ones just added. There is no dirt so the brown you see is coir. I will be adding air to some...

The Drip-DWC Bucket System Is Powered by Air and Works Great In the early 1980's I made my first hydroponic system and was hooked on how easy hydroponics really was. At that time there was a window box design that used a small aquarium pump to deliver air into the bottom of the window box which...

In the early 1980's I made my first hydroponic system and was hooked on how easy hydroponics really was. At that time there was a window box design that used a small aquarium pump to deliver air into the bottom of the window box which had water in it. There was a small hole in the tubing at...

Yes it does work all you need is a air gap between the water and the bottom of the net pot. that will keep the roots alive. No gap and the roots will rot. DWC is roots growing directly into the reservoir with a air stone hooked to a aquarium air pump. The oxygen is constantly aerating the...

Hi Yes I am going to float a couple of plants directly into the water so the roots will be warm. I will just have to supply air as when water gets warmer there is less oxygen available for the fish. Look at the last pictures I uploaded and you will see a 5 gal bucket net pot floating in the...

Hi Thank you for asking. I have been modifying the greenhouse adding reflective insulation that is designed for insulating houses. It floats and I will be transferring plants into different systems. I have changed the light hours a week ago lowering it to 14 hours a day. I will be...

Hi Thanks for the encouragement I will put up a few more pics. The light 180 watt came today and when I turned it on it was like daylight.I think I got a Veg light. I am going to change things up and use the 180 watt for 8 hours a day during the time the sun is up! The 90 watt I will still...

I used to play a video game in the early 1980's with that name, very neat game for its time.

Hi What do you mean something is going on?

Hi In these pictures you can see that the sun is supplying light in daytime for the plants. If you look close you can see a tint of red purple on some of the leaves but of course the sun out shines the lights. Also some of the wavelengths aren't visible to the human eye although the plant...

Hi I will put up more picts and if you look up tkrimo on youtube there are ebb and flow systems where I show the tables and trays draining. Thank you Tip

Here are a few pictures of the mother plants that have been pollinated with Agent Orange pollen. I paid $7.50 a seed for the Agent Orange and got a male so I decided to pollinate 4 strains I had growing to make seeds for the winter grow.

Hi I am growing in a greenhouse in the Winter using supplemental led grow lights? I have a homemade greenhouse with small indoor channel dug in the bottom to hold fish. I heated the water to keep fish active and producing food for the plants. I use the tepid fish water to irrigate the...
