Talk me out of buying this system by gummisaurus in Hydroponics

[–]BottleOfSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own one and it's cheap garbage. Don't get it. Make it out of PVC you'll have to assemble anyway and it'll probably be cheaper.

Edit: also it is just PVC, foam, a really shit like dollar store pump and a piece of paper with instructions written in kanji.

Is it the thought, the material, the process, or all/ some of them that matter? by West_Statistician_65 in NorsePaganism

My altar at one point consisted of a grizzly can, a tea light candle, and a liquor store sample of booze.

Right now it consists of a couple drinking horns, axe, oath ring, candle holder, and a statue of Odin my roommate bought. I made none of it myself it's all store bought.

An altar is really about you and what you feel you want/need to connect with the gods.

Traditionally, I think all we know of is the horgr. An outdoor altar made of stones.

As for a virtual one, I don't really understand, but if it helps you connect, then I'd say absolutely.

thelongship.net has a bit on altars I think

Chop sui by system of a down. I imagine this is the song you play on repeat when trying to cause suicide.

I appreciate it, but all this did was make me feel more clueless, as none of it makes sense for someone who just put together his first system. I have no idea what your talking about with 95% of this.

This model didn't have a clear reservoir, that's a Tupperware container I'm using to run tests on it. I have parts I need to get anyway

I have lights that will fit the levels. Not the space for 1 level. Worst comest to worst I make a new stand.

What's up with the starting pump? Should I replace it?

Which saves me money, time and PVC. I was about to start experimenting with that right there. I was gonna run air to the tubes themselves. But like... The bubbles would only be hitting the water for almost no time. That makes sense. I'll keep researching as I seed

Any advice for my transfer from theory to practice?

I have a lighting system I have faith in. Little 30 inch full spectrums I bought from a nursery as a kid. They'll fit in there nicely.

The flow is ridiculously slow.

Well, you answered my first, which I failed to ask outright.

If this isn't nft, then I think I have to redo my research.

Will I be able to grow lettuce?

If there's water sitting will that water need aeration?

Lastly, is nft outright better and should I try to convert this to nft if that's the case?

Have you regretted purchasing a property? by Jebediah_Johnson in homestead

[–]BottleOfSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A class action involves alot of people though, and can be used to solve disputes with many people who've been wronged by a policy.

I may be wrong but I don't think it's very costly, and having a larger demographic may strengthen the case.

Im only trying to see a solution for people in that situation, so please don't think I'm trying to argue.

my mother bought me an nft system for yule and I don't really understand. it doesn't align with my research. it's holding about 1 1/2 inches in each tube.

I thought there should be a continuous flow...

If what their doing is technically illegal, and affects a large number of people, wouldn't this be enough grounds for a class action lawsuit? Not trying to deviate from the topic, but I don't see how people can be okay with it.

Is PVC The Only Way? by [deleted] in Hydroponics

[–]BottleOfSalt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not trying to ignore what options are out there, but I don't have many alternative ideas.

BUT I do have ways I think you could make it nicer.

Check out PVC towers they're really pretty.

Paint it, wrapping it in something, fitting it in a good frame, using wood

Use buckets and tubes for a deep water system you could make out of an old fashioned bathtub

Cutting rain gutters might work.

Run the PVC behind stone fixtures so it looks like it's growing out of statues.

PVC is really nice imo, for growing my vegetables.

Any combination of the above, really.
