My little creation...

Heres my basic idea....

I raised the top pool 2 inches to allow better PWT control and allow a little more room for the float valve....

Added safety features...

Being earthquake country...

I added stoppers on 3 sides...




As the medium fills with roots and allows less drainage...

I expect a little overflow.
So I added 4 overflow pipes...

One across from the other covering all sides....

This is a 1/2" pipe with screening,glued an inch
below the rim and leading to the lower pool....





Theres more to come as well...

:smoke out:

Things I think about....

Things I think about....

I have a couple (Out of the box) Ideas im playing with...

View image in gallery


Using only 4 of the 8 wick holes per pool...
I have some 2' tail pieces I was playing with when I was chewing on a multi level PPK a few months back that would work perfect here.

Using 4 long tail pieces as drains and running them through the 1 level pool(which would still have 4 media wicks and a PWT level,I would have a PPK pool and a flood to waste pool in one...

I think...lol

I wonder if the roots from the top pool would make it all the way to the Volume pool... hummm...

It would take less to flood each pool(have only 4 drains each) but would also take longer to drain....

I would have to time the flood cycles just right....

Hummmm....




I guess the 1st question would be...
Why... ?....

Outside... This would be killer..

In the space I have... Not sure how this would really increase yields over some simpler ideas I have coming up.... lol



Take the legs off the pvc stand and flip it over...
Add sprayer head and a pump....

Bam....
40 + from clone cut to harvest Aero PPK Kiddie pool....
Another level...

Put the aero PPk on top and veg up trees in the 1st level PPK
using this stacked design... lol

Under say a 1000 w horizontal

That....

Could be fun.....

Thats awesome... Flower power...
Just dont go telling us the pink walls were her idea....:biggrin:

The pipes are all structural support but I keep thinking...

There has to be a way to make it even more useful... lol

There are a few things i keep thinking I could do...

Killing me... really...
So many things Id like to see and im stuck at 2 at a time...lol

Dude talk about DWC... Duck Water Culture...

Classic.....

How much dank ya think you could pull from say 100+ Yogi cups sitting in a kiddie pool PPK with 3" of CC ta grow into ?
Or...
On a Areo Kiddie pool...

Pool flipped over a pool and sealed.

100 holes cut on the roof(1cup per)
Sprayers with pump and feed line.
a timmer...

Talking what... $100

I built mine for less than that...

I bet the trunks would break the cups come 12 days before harvey...

Something to chew on my friend...

Thanks for the inspiration to play in a pools in the first place...

If not for members like yourself,D9,Imaginary friend,DHF,Bobblehead and SO MANY others...
Id still be playing with CFL's...

Not that a CFL KP wouldn't be beyond awesome to scrog...

I would not be moving forward in my journey to learn this art of growing as I have been blessed enough to travel thus far...

Keep making a difference man... It's working for you...

kiddie pool

:smoke out:
I did this with 2x3 black project trays from HD n made a cloner before I got an EZ. Eventually I used it to veg in for a while but I must have had 70 sites for pucks in that area. Could go nuts with à kiddie pool. Def need net cups or solos instead of pucks to flower tho. Would be fun to see. I thought about a pool before but did not think it was rigid enough to support the dongs it would be holding up

haha thanks... I tried that for a minute.. it worked just never stuck w it to fine tune it.. actually I forgot about the smart valve idea....

keepin an eye on this thread just not into contests too much life keeps me pretty challenged already

my latest pool technique is drilling em up and resting em in a 4x4 hydro tray with drainage, and filling em w a dirty chow mix

yeah im tellin ya,NOW they came out with a cover that fits over the smart valve,so when u rig it up anywhere you want you can have it covered up,looks like THEY were lurkin TOO I guess:biggrin:

I like the sound of that,what like a BIG recirculating top drip,through the chow mix down draining and back up or something else?im guessing that coz U mentioned dirty CHOW mix,but then i SAW the word DIRTY?so what soil maybe?

I got a BIT of time to spare and a few freebie beans so im all IN For the fun..next year we can get back to the GRIND!!:biggrin:

Sounds like a blueprint to a good time... :good:Solid...

I was thinking a Plexiglas glass lid with small/medium net pots.
If you went full canopy 43" wide scrog or even pop cycles a PVC frame inside the pool to hold the weight would work...

Would love to see the root in that pool come Harvey....:biggrin:
