It's been a while...how's everyone doing?
I've been running a 20 pots IWS flood and train with great results, easy and simple, I just miss attending to my garden now .
I've done the odd sog to see how things go and I'm leaning towards VERTICAL SOG,
The whitenpipe push fit looks great and easy to make but what do people think of these flower wall planters? Nail them in a octogen shape,circle or a sqaure, 50/50 coco and pebbles ,veg clones for a week and flip to flower ? Cheap and alredy to rock and roll, could possibly get a tank of water 1000lph maxi jet pump, leading to drip emitters and some guttering at the bottom? Or just a constant berry sloww drip no runn off.
Any input on this idea is appreciated, just about to take my cuts and load them in to the cloner.

THE idea was somthing like the picture, pvc pipe diy
But came across them ready made bags, you just hang on the wall , all the pockets are already there . I was going to seperate a bedroom with a false plaster board wall, and with the same principle hang the bags in a square or circle , film them all up and have 2-3 600w cool tubes depending on number of cuts

Saw a nice setup on youtube recently, this guy has 5' 4" or 6" pipes, mounted vertically.
There is a 1.5" slot cut on the front side, from top to bottom. Two pieces of coarse foam, 1 inch thick, are sandwiched together and slipped into the slot to sit inside the pipe, they run the full length of the pipe. So, you can stick the back of a cutting in between the two pieces of foam like they are two lips inside the slot. The tubes are all connected at the bottom from where they run back to the reservoir. Water is simply fed to the top of the tube with garden drip irrigation and then trickles down the foam. The secret to good plants is good gas exchange in the root system.

I've seen several variants on this idea. Works great for lots of small plants. It's all but standard for growing garden greens indoors.

Was thinking of some sort or guttering at the bottom running off to a separate rez, run to waste.... think I'll stick with the pvc pipe idea, have a circulating system change Rez every week, just thought that other neathod could take all the effort of if it. Being lazy that's all
