DIY feeder rings
I hate the store bought clunky feeders so I started making my own a few grows back, refining it every time. This time I went for super soft poly and screw in inlets for easy disassembly and cleaning, Dual intakes for plant rotation, 6 - 4mm feeders with 2 going to the root ball and the other 4 feeding the outer edges for a fast and complete feeding. Coupled with independent taps and a 9000 litre and hour 26h Rio pump i should be able to feed with runoff within about 15 secs to 8 plants.
It's taken me about a week of work and irrigation shopping to get them finished. Working with poly can be hard work when you have to drill out 50 holes, steak 60 feeders, measure a 100 pieces of poly ect ect. My fingers and arms are wrecked. So glad they are finished. Now onto the intake system with taps
At least ive always got the company of my best mate. even if she snoozes through most of it
What a mess
