I find your set up interesting. I'm a noob so can u explain your set up and the process?? I think I understand some of it but I'm eager to learn all I can. JB

Just a single pot flood table, if you know how a hydroponic water table works it's just that but on a way smaller scale if you still don't no then I'll explain in detail & how much it cost

Hi Seymour,I took a cooler for my rezavoir, 2 pumps 1 to push the water through my aquarium chiller to keep the water at a steady temp, the other pump to push the chilled water into a Tupperware just big enough to fit double 8 inch pot, I got the pieces to flood the table from ontario grower supply, I needed a grommet & L piece spout & a siphon drain, drilled the appropriat size holes put the pieces in & attached the hoses. I put the pump that fills the Tupperware on a timer so I don't have to remember when to turn it on & that's about it, if there's anything else I forgot, let me know !!

That's very cool! I am very fascinated by all the ingenious ways people replicate every aspect of a plants natural environment. I do have one question though. How often do u change the water?

I don't change the water, I only top up the Rez when it gets to low, I have to have just enough water in there to cover the pumps

I would think u should do a partial water change once in a while. The small harmless amount of minerals in the water will build up over time. The water level goes down due to evaporation. During this process all minerals and salts stay in the water. I am no expert it's just an observation.

I use Distilled water, & I check my TDS couple times a week & there's been no change so far since I started this endeavour, so all is good !! Thanks for the tip !!
