thats a pretty trippy way to grow man, are u plannin on just doin one plant and.. i just dont know why youd make that, is it to be artistic or something? Just wondering cause it seems less efficient than traditional ways.. it looks pretty dec tho.

Wow....have you ever thought of becoming a mechanical engineer? I have a feeling you'd be pretty good at it. I think with some primping, that idea could work. <you might want to patent it..lol..>

[MrGreenFingaz]

actually now that i look at it again you could prob do it with more than one, youd just have to find an easy way to drain the rezervoir. Are you considering doing this?

lol thnx for the nice words i put a seedling in it last nite, and it was alive last time i checked, it actually started looking up to the light, but i did have to turn it off so i dunno if it died...

lol yeh, i guess it is a weird design, i like to take something useful, from around my house (example: submersible pump) and put it to use...

lol no i havent, lol didnt think i would be any good, nice to kno someone thinks so tho..

to be honest i dont know why i made it, i think it was mostly because i wanted to make some kind of water feature with a weed plant growing at the top... the rest was just common sense..

i will do a photo update or something vaguely interesting sometime soon, so check back

its kinda like a one-plant flood & drain system, maybe you could put an air stone in there to oxygenate the water....dunno if it would help?

[Abattoir Dream]

yeh, i was tryin to think of a way to do that, i have got a slightly bigger pump so i may be able to make a bigger better one for when it gets bigger, but at the moment the seed is alive and happy, still, i think my light mostly gives out orange spectrum so its taking its time...

[Abattoir Dream]

Im gonna try to explain this a little further now, as there are some things i have barely covered, like the pot, so heres a short explanation of how this is made and most importantly, how it works...

Here is the plan... dont be mistaken, its not a photo.. Its my masterpeice...

Right, so the water comes up from the submersible pump, up into the pot through the tube at the bottom of the picture, i put a little filter on it to catch any crap.

The electrical tape holds all the water in up to a certain level, just enough for the capillery roots to sit in, which seems to be working...

it mainly works by having half the roots in the water and half the roots out, it may grow slower, but its pretty cool anyway

the seedling is definately still alive, hopefully it will be able to establish roots that are mainly adapted for that type of watering, then i will make a bigger one....

I will get some photos soon when i can be bothered... peace...

It's "electrical" tape for a reason... It won't be water proof
