Growing in my brook

Setup

So I drilled a bunch of 1 inch holes all around the bucket. Leveled out a spot in my brook and used rocks from the brook of various sizes to fill the bottom half and will allow the brook water to wick up in to the soil. Going to use Coast of Maine stonington blend. Growing a Gelato from ilgm. If this works have some ideas for a floating table build I may do over the winter. Will keep you all posted and happy growing

I don't get how you are going to feed her nutrients. It's a nice idea and all. But in no way will that work out for you. Have you even taken its PH. As that Brook looks like spring water and spring waters pH is up there is the 7-8 range. I know you are using soil but the roots drink from the bottom up, that and you have water flowing through your setup it's just going to wash away any nutrients in your soil.

Again, nice idea. But there is just too many variables that can go wrong. Ph Is a must to control in real hydroponics. As calmag is locked out when you go by 6.5ph and also a boat load of other nutrients.

I wish you all the best with it. And I truly hope I'm 100% wrong. and I'm eating my words in 2 months time.

Good Luck man.

I definitely hear what you are saying. The whole thing is on hold. In desperate need for rain in my area. But we shall see what happens. Happy growing bud
