After experimenting with various brands of nutrient formulations and concentrations.. the plant is showing improved health. The root zone has become too dense for consistent flood levels even with the same number of seconds for the pump ON cycle. The solution is now fed through the pipe which is reduced to the smaller feeder line to fill the nutrient solution at at the top of the container which is gravity fed back into the reservoir. The original air stone is used to prevent the roots escaping the container and entering into the nutrient tank solution. The only way to remove the roots is to let them dry out and shrink enough for easy withdrawal from the container. The video shows very slow drainage due to the barbed pipe attachement beging submerged below the top of the nutrient level. It was removed to facilitate quicker drainage. I just noticed that I swore in the video as I was still playing with the timer ON setting and had to quickly unplug the electricity manually in order avoid an overflow... 😂

WoW i want to try,like this

@Mr_BFL, if you have a larger container for the roots not to become so dense, you can run the nutrient and air supply internally. This makes for a nice clean system with less chance for accidents as everything is self contained. Hydroponics is so much fun :)

@Mrs_Larimar, it is a fairly basic system which you can see in the follow-up 2nd week in the video clip. Essentially, I decided after my first entry into the solo cup challenge with rockwool, that the small 473 ml root zone needed to be completely available for the roots. Otherwise, the plant is stunted and stressed which caused the early flower response. The rock wool solo is maybe 20% of the size of the same seed batch with the same nutrients so I wanted to minimize this outcome. I will share a comparison pic once the rockwool and regular hydroponic plants.

Very interesting will have to watch this one. I want to say cheating but it is in a 16 ounce container and I don’t see how the roots can leave the cup. I’m curious on how the water drains, I would think it would over flow the cup.
