  • can i use anything else instead of nylon rope

  • You can use other porosities that provides the same hydrological functioning. See videos 60-70.

  • I do not think so and usually the portion of roots getting light is so low. Elson

  • What a wonderful idea, I must try this too. Do you recommend using nylon rope or cotton rope? I would think cotton absorbs water better, but you mentioned nylon. Do you think nylon is better? Thank you.

  • Plastic cords can last years keeping a marvelous performance. There are other videos about it.

  • Yep, thanks!

  • Obrigado!

  • what's wrong with using a top & bottom of same bottle instead of using two bottom parts? i had good results with using 2 liter bottles. i use a paper towel as siphon. 

  • if you kept the cap on couldn't you keep the top?

    1 bottle per planter?

  • Pretty cool idea - with the nylon.

  • thank you so much for the step by step instructions! This is great because many people just want to show people what they've done and that's not enough- here you show everybody how to do it! You are a great and thoughtful person thankx! :) I'm going to do this!

  • no your wrong your supposed to keep the soil moist never dry but never saturated

  • really....i didnt know that, maybe thats why my other crop died such a pitiful death....but, i fixed it with a hydro system, and im so much more happier....

  • Maybe if you want poor quality hemp... Cannabis requires the soil to dry out before the next watering for it to grow properly.
