The part that I can't seem to understand is why your pots have to have an 'offset'? Why is the main stem so eccentric to one part of the vessel? It would seem to be a more efficient design for small scale growers if it can be adapted to a perfectly square space/container.
Lady, great way to kick off a thread!
When they legalize weed, you and this merry bunch of tinkerers will have to get back to the business of curing world hunger or cancer. In the meantime, rock on!
This is very creative stuff. I am glad to see folks taking things in different directions and experimenting. I am really looking forward to your findings on the OBBT/composter thingy...
I am never an early adopter, so I will be hanging out lurking and learning.
What I am most interested to see is a comparison of results in a control using the same square footage, lights, soil, clones etc. and comparisons of yields: traditional soil planter vs/ OBBT. My thinking is that you and DM and others might just be on to something here, but would love to see some comparative results with photos.

I like the idea of automating watering a bit, but am concerned over the loss of space...I am just a small scale self sufficiency grower with a cab. But for now, I'll keep my mind spinning on this. We stoners are known for ingenuity after all.
where is the recipe....I have seen mentioned some ingredients that could be used, but not definitively. I am just trying to get the starter kit to test this new method, but want the best ingredients and to get an idea of what ingredients are available in my area.
This will give you a double-whammy. A nice mild source of many beneficial organic additives AND dormant beneficial microbes!! Espoma lace most (if not all) of their bagged organic ferts with a lovely mix of dormant Aerobic Bacteria and Mycorrhiza Fungi.
