I recently put together a wick system and would like any advice or experience in using and operating one of these.
I used a rubbermaid for the reservoir, 4 one gallon pots, and a mixture of gravel and perlite for the media. Nylon ropes running through the middle of the media in a U-shape to both ends in the reservoir.
I have never grown in "hydro" system, either passive or not, and I thought this would be a good place to get some experience. I searched and found a few threads(thanks to AL B. Fuct), but could not come up with much more than the basic construction guide.
Would anyone be nice enough to help or lend advice to my setup and the nutrients, water changing for cleanliness, and other things one should know? I am using a 1000w mh, with the warm halide bulb. if i can make this work, I would potentially make 4 more like this, in a space that is 4x4x7. A sea of green is what I would like the end result to be. Any help is appreciated, Thanks
