Always been a soil person and seen its starting to be a pain , and so I came up with a cheaper way to do hydro so tell me if it will work.
Im certain everyone has seen the like 4x4 squares with net pots going down at an angle into resivor from a stand Slightly higher than the square box tray things...Pretty much im replacing their small trays with much larger tubes and I can build it myself at roughly 200$
Ill post a pic~
If I decided to buy a cheap Bin , Add 10" pvc pipe and cut holes in the top of it for my nets I could get away with only dropping money on the pump everything else is under 50$ if Im correct.
In the pvc pipe , I was going to rune a hose and use mist nozels now sense its at an angle , the water will flow back into the res by itself and create an airflow so I dont need stones or anything to keep the water airated , I was thinking if i angle it , the roots will grow down towards the water so as the nute water goes back down it flushes roots but didnt know if this would be a problem.
Any thoughts if it'll work or what else needs to be done
