Your grow is really booming! The plants look
robust and ready to bust out! Keep up the good work.
 
Did you have to cut the tips off all those nipples on
the 'air pots'? I notice not all of them are open. I
thought maybe you figured out how to print them
with the holes.
 
Also, can you explain a little about your irrigation
system? Sorry to trouble you, but it is such a neat
and tidy operation

There's no problem, Paul.
I had air pots until I switched to hydroponics. Last year I made other pots without giving them holes. Perlite leaves room for plenty of air and no side holes are needed.
Hole pots are just additions from the air pot series.
They are made by thermoforming. The holes are made with a drill.
 

 
Irrigation is through a recirculation system. The nutrient solution is pumped from a barrel and the surplus is collected and returned to the barrel.

Very cool to see the videos of you vacuum forming the pots. Nice design!

 

[SineNomine]

Thanks Siv!
 

Also, can you explain a little about your irrigation
system?

 
I will try this weekend to make a presentation of the whole system.

More space in the two trays for C. Chinense.

 

 
It's their turn to flourish.

I am amazed at the growth you get in your hydro units.

Today it was colder than forecast and I didn't take them out.

Nothing like a house full of company!
 
You are using straight perlite in your
buckets, correct?

I am amazed at the growth you get in your hydro units.

They are the best seedlings I have ever had. The system I made works great and I am very excited about it.

Yes. Just perlite and some clay balls on the bottom so as not to clog the drain.

I had a busier period and I couldn't post anymore.
Short update: it will be the first night out for C. Annuum.

Those pots look absolutely amazing. At first I thought it was all colored bubble wrap or something but nah. All custom? Nice job man.

 

[SineNomine]

Thank you D.
Here I posted how those pots were made.
