Yeah, the pre-fab ones I have seen are very pricey but if you look in the grow logs, I have 2 logs with the word 'darkside' in the title that should be easy to find, and detail the construction and use of a VERY cheap and user friendly NFT system. It's a little unconventional but works like a charm. There are no timers or airstones, just ONE pump... fill it up and walk away, lol!Quote:

By the way I still have all my NFT kit that i got from a hydro store its gathering cobwebs at the moment i may use it agian sometime but i am in 50/50 composts and pearlite at the moment.
Thank you for pointing me in the direction of your post the darkside.:thumbsup:
Oh shoot I hate to threadjack but how are you liking the 50% compost + perlite mix? Is it hand-watered or drippy? I have never run my perlite content that high- only up to 40% and then, only in the dead of winter when it's quite cold, to prevent sodden soil. As a matter of fact, one of the reasons for the NFT adventure was trying to find a system that would actually stay at a good temp without a res heater/chiller, as long as the air temp was correct- and NFT seems to work.
Hi stinkyattic,
I am hand watering at the moment its my first time in a perlite and compost so i can't say how its going turn out but they are looking ok at the moment, they are clones of a mother called Rock don't know if you know that strian, and they are 4 weeks into flower.
I am not expecting anywhere near the yield that i had off NFT as i realy done very well indeed with the NFT, but alas i am not in the position to it at the moment maybe some time in the future.:thumbsup:
'Soma A+' aka 'Rock Bud'? That's one on my to-do list actually. I like the pigmentation and feel that it would be a stealthy outdoor plant in my area, where the sumac bushes turn identical colors in fall. Thanks for the info!
No probs stinkyattic,
It been a pleasure to talk to you so to speak. :thumbsup:
