Awesome set up!!!! A few questions if I may. What size tubing/pipe are you using? What kind of lights are you using? Could you share your plans or give a more detailed video showing your set up? I am currently using flood and drain aquaponics. It's doing good, but you seem to have more efficient use of space and I'm thinking of switching to NFT. Thanks!!!
@serpensphile schedule 30 pipe. Im using basic shop lights since Im mainly growing lettuce. The system was just set on some horses one side slightly higher than the other and the tubes were spaced about 1ft away from each other then strapped down with a old bike tube lol. I don't really have plans for it i just kinda threw things together.. If you'd like i can take closer pictures and post them on my website. send me a PM and ill take some pics and give you a link to them.
Looks great! I saw for done of the plants you had them growing in a sort of cup that was clear what actually are those, if you could get back to me on those that would be great. Also check out my system.
Such wonderful plants! That’s a job well done for you! I can see that your plants love your NFT aquaponic setup very much. Their roots are amazing and their growth is simply awesome. So aside from the fish waste, you are also supplying them with other nutrients? That’s probably why they have grown so well.
Nope! no other nutrients only fish waste which amazes me. Im thinking about adding seaweed extract and some other organic things to add in. im making another update on the plants tomorrow the roots are even better now!
dude, don't fry your roots! cover those babies up!
