Welcome to Ozstoners rex , mate ive often thought about those bags and reckon they would be well worth it, the bonus with them is they keep the roots cool and shaded .. let us know how they go if you try them... great looking buds too

 

best o' luck

 

EDIT: only one thing worries me about the bags, it says the capilary wick releases 1 litre of water every 24hrs, well i dont think that is sufficient for a plant over 2 foot tall? ... perhaps it could be modified to release more over a 24hr period.?

Hi rex welcome along mate.

Those bags are very interesting. Seem cheap enough to, good work.

Let us know how they perform eh.

that must have been a big plant for you to use a grinder to cut her up.

 

Havnt seen the water bags myself..

 

Good luck with your next grow maby do a diary id like to see the bags and grinder in action..

thanks al for the replys we need more out door ideas i think ...getting to the guts of the matter on the site it dose say that the feed rate can be ajusted i just dont know weather 1 ltr per 24 is full rate i might shoot off a email and find out but my idea is that they are only to keep the plants ticking over untill the rains come well that what happen's with my drum feed but these are more stealth like old mate said in water 101 about tell tale signs of growing ie bottels or drums ..... ps that is australain blue seed stock planet skunk i think sell them ...pss i used a grinder too get rid of the whole plant

Welcome to the site rex I'm another SE Qlder with a water crisis

 

I only recently stumbled on these bags myself and agree that 1 litre/day won't cut it in this heat. I too was thinking of using 2 bags per plant but then I'd need to be able to stop the flow during wet weather so they don't end up waterlogged maybe.

 

I'm also a nutri-tech fan, but haven't used the triple ten yet, just their guano and kelp powders.

 

If those buds were grown on the triple ten, then I'll have to give it a go next season
