Cap Know

These are plans to make a fairly portable, cheap and very sophisticated hydroponic system. These plans only explain how to do the same garden, and did not explain how to use or maintain it. If you plan on using this garden, you should get yourself a good book on hydroponics, and look up. I am deliberately leaving out parts of plant nutrition, light cycles, etc., so it seems to be to write a guide to growing marijuana. It also makes you look for another source of information for your knowledge of hydroponics comes from more than this article. Not grow marijuana, and never has. I’m just a high-tech home gardener with information to share. If you are caught growing marijuana, while the system described here, and not even think of running for me, I tell you not to grow marijuana. In fact, I would suggest planting grow cherry tomatoes, which can be fooled into producing fruit indoors year round and is a very easy plant to start with Hydroponics. Materials needed: 1 5-10 gallon bucket2 Pieces of PVC or ABS pipe, 8-10 “long 5″ or larger diameter. 4 matches for PVC / APS ends of the tube. 1 desalination can be about 50 liters per hour (you need a bigger pump if you choose to make this larger system) 4 ‘hose that fits desalination (often 3 / 8 “) 1 TEE joint (or Y-splitter) that Match hose4 hose clamps on the water (a pump on the hose, and 3 related to TEE fitting.) 1 Airpump, airstone, and some airline from an aquarium. 1 Can White epoxy spray paint1 Can Black Epoxy Paint Procedure-based sprays: 1. Everything must be light tight. Paint all hoses, the bucket. PVC / ABS and the lid of the bucket with a layer of black and let dry overnight and then covered with a layer of white paint to make it reflective, and lowering the temperature of the nutrient solution. 2nd Take each of PVC, songs and a drill hole 1 inch from the side, about one inch from the end. Then epoxy caps on the ends of PVC. 3rd drill entry and exit holes, must be Caps PVC. The entrance hole should be as low as possible or close to the wall of PVC , and exit holes may be as high as possible. 4th Rocky now has two 5 “holes in the sides of the cavity (near the top) and epoxy the PVC in place, so about 2″ of pipe (and finish the hole) are inside bucket, and the 1 “hole is facing straight up. 5th Oxygen in the nutrient solution, and not to dissolve CO2. CO2 can kill the root system. If you’re farming or enrich CO2, since the pump can sit anywhere. 6th Place the water pump at the bottom of the bucket (if it is a submersible, one) and attach a tube of sufficient length to reach the top of the bowl. Cut a hole in the lid of the dish in this case to pass. Then connect the TEE for placement of the tube. Attach hoses to the free ends of the TEE, and run them from the entrance hole in the end of the tube from PVC. Using the clamps on the tee fitting and the pump, but use epoxy to attach hoses to the PVC. This seal must be absolutely watertight. Let dry for 24 hours. 7th Put some water in the bucket and turn on the pump. What should happen is the PVC pieces will fill with water, and then, when finished should begin to continuously leak from the outlet hole and back into the bucket. If you leak somewhere down immediately. If water comes out of “1 hole on the top of the pipe, then either your pump is too strong or your outlet hole is too small. Fix either. 8th Empty the system (hint, remove the tube pump to drain the arms), and replace the water with some form of hydroponic nutrient solution (look in a hydroponics book for details on what to use or visit a garden store and ask) 9. Insert your plants in the system. The best way I’ve found to do this is to take 1 1 / 8 “tubing and cut a 1″ tube off of one end. then cut the tube along one side. Swipe handle your plants (just above the roots) with polyester fluff (available at aquarium stores, for stuffing into external water filters) and then extract In the hose around the flock. force, since the hose into the hole at the top of the arm from PVC. and people have used rubber stoppers. 10th Turn on the air / water pumps, and let your garden grow. This is obviously just a small plant, but plans are easily modified for larger systems, with longer pieces of PVC, or more than a few arms, and a larger bucket to hold the nutrients (I’ve seen done with 55 liter drum, and 8 different weapons, each holding 4 plants) I personally use this setting indoor (under a skylight in my apartment) to grow 2 cherry tomato plants. What do you do with your own garden is your own business, and obviously can not be held responsible if you choose to grow anything illegal.
