DIY hydro - share your homemade hydroponic setups.

Loving this thread!, I love a bit of DIY, have a ton of stuff to make 'little projects' with, as I come from an aquatic/planted tank background, so have never grown in anything but hydro,but I now have 5 20lt air pots that I plan on using in my next grow, thinking of a clay pebble base, rest coco coir...not sure how I could read the run off correctly in a drain to waste drip feed system though.... All the plants would be draining together, so all the run off would be mixed up....

you could just buy a direct media ppm pen

at that point, I'd get one that does ph too!

That's a new one to me buddy!, I got pH meters, tds meters, ec truncheon, temp probes, and a water/pH soil meter somewhere, one of the basic 2 pronged majigamies from the garden centre style ones... And a load of water purification gear, full on RO, or HMA, or a mixture of both... Lol!.
Never grown in soil, just rock wool in hydro, so I am on a learning curve here for sure!.

Those two prong ones aren't accurate I'm talking about a nice one. But there are ways around it -- but to know what each plant is really taking in it is nice to take good measurements directly in the medium itself.

Cheers buddy!, I'm on it!.

This is an old thread just about waterfarm/diy WF mods..
This one is using 2 igloos.. One to grow in, the other as a reservoir... It also uses a water column..
