Ok well heres how yesterdays build went.
I also ended up using 2 wire coat hangers.
Basically just normal stuff plus the epoxy, 3-way Ts, line valves and the lid from one of the the tubs, I got for my large Ebb/Flow system. (coming about 5 weeks from now)
I started by seeing how much of the tub lid I was going to need to make the Grow pods support plate.
When I cut it out I used my knife. I found that scoring a few shallow cuts then flexing the plastic made it a cut much more easily.
Next I used a bit of soda bottle to mark the holes in the frame plate. I made sure to size the holes to fit the middle of the 24 oz bottles that are going to be my grow pods, I cut the ends off past the little lip so it will res on that one its in the frame plate. againI cut small and worked it a little at a time till I got the size right.
All right pods in I just pushed them through the hole it crushed in the tapered bit by the caps but it won’t matter.
Now to the Ebb/Flow lines and the drip tubes for the other 2 bigger grow pods.
Ok the epoxy. I made a few mistakes here I got the fast acting one for plastics, not the water proof one as it was $2 cheaper. I mixed way to much the first time by the time I did 2 lines it was hardening, mixing just enough for 1 at a time worked ok but take a look you can tell this is not going to work.
Well afeter a few hours to let the epoxy set and its time for ver 0.2’s first test…
… Results:Epic failure it make bubbles and drips a bit.
Thats up to last night tonights once I’m done or in the morning.
