I would actually really like to see a guide/info on how to reuse clay balls. What's the easiest way to reclaim them from such a thick mat of roots? Can/how do you treat them if the plants grown in them get mold/pests? Can you reuse them forever? If not, what are the signs that they need to be thrown out? I really like the idea of buying the clay balls once and never needing to spend money on grow media again, but I'm not sure if it's worth it depending on the maintenance required to reuse them.
@brandonlantier 9 ай бұрын
Leca can be a pain, either you can try and pick them out while the roots are wet or let it dry out and its easier when they are dry, downside of that is you get dust and hydroponic nutrient in that dust flying around. I usually use it for smaller projects and save what I can, but there is always a loss somewhere.

Great concept, I love the ice table idea which is shockingly economical for flood and drain. Would it be possible to make a connection for a PVC drain line by putting a 90 degree turn in the inlet before the quick disconnect such that it could be connected from the side leaving room to have a fitting for PVC pipe going straight down? (you would have to have the inlet penetrate the side of the outlet fitting) This would allow someone to plumb multiple tables to a shared or more distant reservoir/sump.

When you planted all those sprouts, was wondering if you knew they are the biggest of the brassica family.... nope lol. Oh some tips for sprouts, they take the longest time to grow compared to other brassicas. And the reason your sprouts sprouted is because when the mother plant fell over they were exposed to the light. I will say home grown sprouts are another level of amazingness.

Looks like a very efficient way to grow cabbage, just not Brussels sprouts. As for reclaiming the clay balls, the fragile root mat should rot very quickly, and then you just need to rince them out and keep the liquid compost tea for other plants in the garden or home. Anything that stays inside the clay balls will be additional nutrients. You can probably even burn them, but I don't think this extra step is necessary. Only trial will tell.

I had an idea and i don't know if someone has already done this. I thought it would be very versatile and cost saving to combine the design of NFT and flood and drain nutrient delivery for those who hardly have enough space and can't spend much on electricity. My thought was to use a gutter system so you can hang it on the wall on top of each other either outside or inside while the distribution of nutrient using flood and drain helps with not having to use the pump all day long. The gutter system also minimizes the dilution of water when used outside as well as evaporation because of the cover with just the holes for the plugs and ofcourse with the help of hydrotons. I don't have the means to test it out but theoretically, this should be the ideal system for someone like me who have no space nor can afford to run LED light and pumps for extended periods of time.

FYI you can do the same thing with perlite. The chunky works best as it breaks down into smaller pieces. Reuse the perlite and compost the roots. Hydrogen peroxide the 35% stuff watered down to 3-5% concentration will sterilize the pump, table, hoses, and used perlite. For maximum performance the water should be drained once a week but it looks like maybe you could also top up with water and adjust ph and ec.

Curious: have you ever tried letting the roots dry out, then burning them to reclaim the clay balls? As expanded clay, they've been through a kiln process already, so they can take some heat. I don't think I'd want them buried in a pile of coals because too much heat would likely decrease their water-holding capacity, but cycling them quickly through an open fire just long enough to burn off dry roots seems like it would be fine - and may increase their nutrient load with the potash. And it would be much faster than manually picking them out of the roots.
@Suchtzocker 9 ай бұрын
Wouldnt it be enough to wash them with some very diluted peroxide i think its called to cancel all bacteria and fungus ?
@wjm1319 9 ай бұрын
@@Suchtzocker That's fine for any fungus, etc. But first you have to extract them from all of the roots. Leaving them embedded in a mat of roots like that wouldn't leave room for the roots of any new plants you put in. And those roots wrap around the balls & hide them deep in a maze of white threads. You invariably miss some, either because you didn't see them behind all the roots or you just get tired of digging through them. That's why I thought burning them out might be an easier move.
@Suchtzocker 9 ай бұрын
ofcourse there will be physical work involved beforehand, dont get me wrong ofcourse i thought beforehand we both know this you def. couldnt use any form of organic material to heat them, coal would char them and change the appearance and surface of the clay but if you burn the roots you would have the same effect of soot and ash influencing the function of the clay my best guess would be freeing most of the stuff of them when harvesting, then mechanically moving them / rubbing / shaking when the clay is dried and THEN use peroxide solution most hydro guys just reuse them after rubbing most of the roots off since you cant prevent rotting anyways even in a running system you will have some form or percentage of rootmass rotting eventually root rot from dead roots wont influence new healthy roots as long as the water/media is not changing its values from the rotting roots + i even think there are forms of addable beneficial bacteria wich take down rotting roots and turn then into nitrogen or something but im not shure if im recalling that correctly ( for the say 0.5% rootmass left over after cleaning it mechanically )

I dont have any fancy measurement devices yet except a non calibrated EC Meter to guesstimate And do you think this system would work for plants like Melon and Cucumber Family-Plants ?
@kevinmiller5467 9 ай бұрын
You can use tap water. Rain water tends to have less devolved solids in it. Some of the dissolved solids in tap water are not helpful likes salts and some tap water is unsuitable for hydroponics. From example some tap water has 500ppm of dissolved solids in it. Lets say you were growing lettuce with a target nutrient solution of 600ppm. That only leaves 100ppm for fertilizer so your lettuce would grow slow. Tap water can also have a bad ph that is difficult to adjust for. I use tap water in my grows it has about 200ppm dissolved soilds and it is mostly calcium, the calcium in tap water is bio-available to plants. When I mix my nutrient solutions I don't have to add as much calcium nitrate.

@Hoocho 9 ай бұрын
Bell syphon has to run continuously which means that some areas don’t have time to fully drain causing stagnation and anoxic areas. Also… You need the syphon at the opposite end of the bed to the inlet ideally. IMO Completely different applications. This style gives you much more control, but is less foolproof and also wears the pump more. Both have upsides and downsides. Though if we are being realistic. Most people won’t notice a difference between the two.
