  • simplest tutorial ive seen yet

  • @TheRandal400 thank you

  • Where or what kind of ph tester where can I get on and what kind do I use

  • @monkyballs475 You can use pH strips from aquarium stores. I use a ph drop that changes colour in a vial of water since you can do the tests for less than a penny.

  • what would the plants yield be if you kept them in there?

  • @yooperslayer69 It depends on the plant that is grown but in general terms the root systems are segregated so in theory it could only be a maximum of three plants each in 5 gallon buckets of soil.

  • is the water constantly moving through the plants 24/7 or is there a time on and off?

  • @PBerg100 This is a typical "top feed" hydroponics system; It is a tried-and-true method.

    It's counter intuitive.. you would think that you get root rot, but it really works.

  • wouldn't constant water to the root system over water the plant?\

  • How many gph is your water pump?
