using your ROLS too? So this would be like NFT but with soil. I bet if you raised the pots just a little but with like a mesh or just a ring for the perimeter of the pot to hold them up, the roots would go through and you'd get NFT/hydro type performance benefits. The whole slick waterproof "floor tub" is badass. Imagine if you dropped a bit of butter in there lol.Maybe I'm a loon like @Jewels and @Uncle Rom are, but here's my thoughts. Lol.
My thought is to do a built in liquid applied waterproof liner in the flower room and veg room.
To the floors and up the walls a bit.
A couple mil thick at least.
Kinda like the flex seal boat but in reverse. Rofl.
Then flood the floor with the amount of water needed for all the plants.
Typically 10 to 12 gallons overall when I hand water now for all of em. Up to 15 gals if I'm running a few more than usual.
Pots being 3 gal to 10 gal on average, hard side and fabric ones.
So a 10 gal floor dump would be the starting #.
Wicking up would happen, the larger ones taking more and the little ones less. Overall using up all of it, and the remainder helping RH to stay up.
I've thought of individual watering lines, but like not having shit in the way. Lol.
Nice to be able to spin em and move em around for inspection without a bunch of stuff to move about.
So hence my thoughts of a flood, no drain. Lol.
Again, it could just be an invitation for new problems to solve. Lol.
I need to try that flex seal, I got a pack from costco.
