Shonky dripper setup.. will it work?
Eggboxstarted grow question 5y ago
What flaws can you see in my nutrient delivery?
Top tub is raised and drains into bottom tub, which pumps up to drip 15 mins every hour. How should I top up?
It's been so long since I've done hydro and I dreamt this up from what I had, so no idea if it'll work..

You wanna cover the water completely.. Your exposed reservoir is a breeding ground for Bacteria... This a noble attempt for your gonna have to put some serious work into blacking out the reservoir more.. or risk some really gnarly bacteria build ups.. Also the color of the water says you didn't rinse the medium before you started using it.. Rinse the medium when using for hydroponics.. there are quite a few issues.,.. www.growwweedeasy.com

I agree with smoke this is not enough drainage with Hydroponics.. Your gonna have problems.. Use Clay Pellets.. Rocks.. Rockwool.. lots of neutral fast drainage mediums are good for hydroponics.. But coco coir and perlite are generally used for types of drain to waste systems and generally speaking not for hydroponics.

I'd be worried about having the medium constantly saturated.

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Can you divide your weekly one dose of nutes into every watering so your ppms dont fluctuate much? For example if you water 2 times a week and one time of them is including a 4ml nutes can you split it to every day irigation water in the quantity of 1.75 ml per day totaling 4ml?Plant. Other

PhUp P.Hydro vs. P.Carb vs. BothPotassium Hydroxide Vs. Potassium Carbonate : or Both for PH+ up.
Does one have lower EC value in solution when used?
Does ones have better stability in solution for hydro or soil?
Does one have more reactivity with other elements in the grow?
Does one have higher PH?
