Alternative to Wilma.
I'm about to downsize my tent to 3 smaller one's.
Im moving on to 2x 80cm and one 60cm.
I've been using a 4 pot Wilma with pebbles but no rockwool.
I'm after a something similar but with flexibility to move pots around.
Are the Autopots any good and what other options do I have.
I've been playing with a DWC but it's a bit loud.
Any advice appreciated

Re: Alternative to Wilma.
Hey bro, check out hempy buckets. I made a post a couple days ago. I'm currently experimenting with them. They are super cheap, easy and mobile.

Re: Alternative to Wilma.
Auto pots rock it up and are a very cool hydroponic system and they`re a zero electric passive hydro system too> zero noise and cheap set up costs.
flood and drain > noisey like dwc
50 to 80 liter brummie bubbler would also rock it up in those spaces with a few plants in, ive never used one but i can`t see it being too noisey, works on same principles to a wilma set up so you you would know what do straight from the word go. Cheap set up costs
Nft > noiseier than DWC.

I'm using air stone's in the Wilma and being a beginner I want to stick to that style till I'm competent with it.2-Scoops wrote:Auto pots rock it up and are a very cool hydroponic system and they`re a zero electric passive hydro system too> zero noise and cheap set up costs.

I'm thinking maybe making a two plant system with storage boxes. Just need a pump and drippers. The pump I've got for the airstones is big enough to run both tent's. I'm using the 60cm for clones and seedlings so hand watering will be ok.

Re: Alternative to Wilma.
Not with pebbles. I use Root riots straight into pebbles no Rockwool.
I hand water at first till the roots spread.
My present grow of four plants were going through 14 litres a day. I would be very busy.
The present wife has already been moaning about how much time I spend with my plants.
Blah blah blah

Re: Alternative to Wilma.
Check the 2 plant brummie bubbler out in the first link at top of page, it sure it sounds like summink your after if its summink slightly different for 2 plants, tbh its virtually a wilma but the brummie bubbkler has been around for donks prolly longer than wilma, looks easy to build your own i would think but for what they cost, i`d just buy one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... r&_sacat=0Treetrunk wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 5:32 pmI'm using air stone's in the Wilma and being a beginner I want to stick to that style till I'm competent with it.2-Scoops wrote:Auto pots rock it up and are a very cool hydroponic system and they`re a zero electric passive hydro system too> zero noise and cheap set up costs.

Coco and perlite or straight coco is way to go in your system, fuck clayballs, you`ll notice a difference in size of plants straight away, maybe do a side by side hey so your 100% sure. I used to run clayballs and rockwool in clayballs mix in auto-pots then i discovered coco and ive never looked back as saying goes
