hey

mr pootard, they are 19 inch pots which hold about 30 litres of clay balls - I use 'hot rocks' personally as I like the irregular shape - seem to stay in place when flushing better than the balls which can move around like a bag of marbles when moving the plant. I have the pots on small caster wheels so I can move 'em as needed

 

Many thanks to SPC for the genetics

 

nimer, the black rings are called 'hydro horshoes' & I got 'em from my local shop years ago. They are rings which sit about an inch or so above the rocks & have lots of small holes drilled in them to allow the nutes out. The idea being even distribution & also getting some extra aeration to the nutes before they hit the roots. I like 'em. They need a bit of extra pump power but are worth the effort in my book.

 

hey guys I'll add some more photo's of my system (brains etc) when I get the chance & also some more details on the rings. There was a www addy on the rings of wwwgullyhydro.com.au but that didn't work today when I tried it.

 

Will keep udpating pics so you can see results happnin.

 

PS here's a more detailed pic of my lucky horseshu:

Couldn't u make em out of poly pipe? I just stake 4mm offtakes from a 13mm feed to the block, but that 'even distribution' sounds awwrite. I'd try maybe a 4mm 't' to make the ring. I don't know if I'd need a 13mm for each plant...

Unfortunately, I don't think you'd be able to get new ones, nimer, I heard they weren't being made anymore.... Secondhand tho, if anyones got them and doesn't want em, I'll put up my hand too!

[white_cluster]

Why not just use some soaker hose guys??

just make a loop and join it to normal 13mm poly with a T-connector.

[hydrodude]

When u say soaker hose wc do u mean the black stuff with all the little holes....... Are there any models of this hoes that only have holes on 180degrees of the hose?? I am worried i will get a stray jet and hit my light :-( Has anyone used this and have any comments??

I also was told about the hydroton moving around, but i think it will just strengthen the root system, and if your worried how about putting the balls in to a stocking and then into your system?
