Window Farms

they are watered for 15 minutes (15 min interval timer) every 3 hours during the 18 hour day cycle, with no waterings at night. the last watering it recieves is 1 1/2 hours before lights out.

So Nizza, what are u thinking for a design?

I'm thinking about adding some things under my HPS, like exotic orchids or something, I have a lot of room and a lot of light

did you see the bottom of page 2? i will eventually rebuild but this system is going to be what i use . I will possibly put something hardier in there such as an aerocloned mint,basil, or parsley plant. Once i fill that one ill build another and make a common reservoir , and from there ill have the whole box filled up, and it should be summer! all's it is is a 2x4 framed box that sits in the window and is 4 feet high (length of window/windowfarm) it's insulated to keep heat in and ill eventually design it so i put the res next to the cold window and use a heater or something.

Little different but a proven technology in hydro/aquaponic set ups. Some guys run slow speed motors to rotate the tube slowly so all sides get light. Local berry farm run about 60 of these. Top of pipe has a drip feed, bottom of the pipe is capped and has a nipple for nute drain into a reservoir. I know some commercial AQ guys run this but fill the tube with lava rock or gravel as media. Might be an interesting set up for SOG?
