First time Tiny DIY NFT try out

[THE HANDYMAN 266]

hi folks i thaught id try this little idea,

iv posted in the gear review what i made it from,

cheers hope you like it,

its an auto flowering moby#2 from autofem i think.

we will se if my project works,tho i wont be with it everyday as it is away from the house,iv added some pics of how i made the system all it is is a small roller tray on a bucket with a pump and filter,

this is the first before this i started it in a small propogator in rockwool and ionic root n grow,very weak,

iv moved it over and iv given it a stronger nute,it is definately likeing it so far,fingers crossed!

cheers guys ,il post more evrery few days when i see some changes

that is a very neat idea to use a roller tray might have to nick that from you lol

i would suggest that you use a slightly bigger tray (normal size roller tray) so you have moor room for them roots to spread also you might wish to put some black and wight plastic over the hole thing to make a light proof cover so the light doesn't get to your root system and cause all sorts of problems one last thing you could also do with using some spreader Matt its very cheep and helps the roots spread out any hydro store sells it

also you need to remove the plastic sleeve around the cube

wish you all the best for this

thanks alot for the ideas mate, i have the nutes covered i just done like this so u can see it all,,tho i will take the plastic off the cube,,cheers mate,,il leave it on this tray til the roots need it,plus i was thinking about a spreader mat,does anyone know what spreader mats are made of??as the only hydro shop round here sucks and wont have any,

sorry guys iv had to stop the tiny NFT till i get a new pump my old water pump gave in so iv sent for a new one ,so iv swapped over to a bubbler just now and i will change back as long as i get it quickly,,,fingers crossed,ikm gonna go for a larger pump and a much bigger air pump to get it almost floating in air bubbles it works great in bubblers so im thinking when the roots hit the water it will have half in really well airiated water and half in air i think that will give great results for such fast plants like autos, any thaughts

sorry to say this again but its not nft it is a flood system

[THE HANDYMAN 266]

lol,,,its not flooding mate all the water does is run passed under cube then over roots into bucket where that takes over as a kind of bubbler si if anything its more like a bubbler than any wen plants get bigger but it defo doesnt flood i dont think you can picture it correctly it works on same principal as one of the best selling NFTs on the market so if im useing that technoligy then thats why i say itsan NFT but i wanted it to act like a bubbler when the roots got long enough to touch water so all the bubbles get roots not just water,my pumps are so strong they actually turn the whole thing into a mass of bubbles and mist as i used a very fine wooden airstone,not sure how long it will last but it gives really nice fine bubbles everywhere but they are not restricted like a stone one GOOD!

anyway wen i get the new water pump il have it going again so wen i do il take it to bits so u can understand it a bit,

[bozoph 696]

still not a nft. u r shallowly flooding a rockwool. to truly be nft the root system has to grow in a thin layer of water. devoid of light so a film can build to support root growth( hench the term nutrient film tech).

not tring to bad mouth the system it will work fine

[cabay 142]

same principle but not truly nft though, u right bozoph ... but i'm sure it'll work good if you can cover the roots so they have no light it'll be better

sorry to hear about the pump, i hope it will come quickly and that the plant won't be suffering from the change.

Have a good grow man

[hazeydayz 49]

well its not a true nft or flood and drain its a very good start tho keep it up bro the bubble pots are easyir to work with so you will enjoy them moor

[THE HANDYMAN 266]

iv made my mind up im going with this,
