Hello everyone and take this first ride with me. I hope it's a good one! I will try to be as detailed as possible throughout this journey from bean to dream.
Ok now for the details. I have grown in soil for a while but a friend of mine gave me his waterfarm system he wasn't using anymore. "All my links go to Amazon just for the picture and description."
GROWING MEDIUM
Waterfarm : Mods I made to it.
1. Upgraded air pump to Active Aqua AAPA15L plugged 2 of the 4 holes.
2. Drilled a bunch more 1/4" holes in the top bucket.
3. Replaced the column support tube with a 1" PVC pipe.
4. Added 5" round air stone to bottom bucket.
5. Wash the hydroton really really well and soaked it in 1 part vinegar 3 parts water for 24 hours.
