    Great video. How long does the coconut coir last until needs replacing?

    • @mrstackyaustralia
      @mrstackyaustralia  6 років тому +1

      Hey thanks! Depends on what you're growing. If growing fast crops like lettuce & spinach, when harvesting you'd pull the root out and leave the coco and just top up with a bit more coco.... We'd recommend doing this a max of 3-4 times with the original coco before replacing. For larger crops like capsicum, kale etc, the root system will completely take over the planter so there won't be much coco left to salvage. But yes, coco can be re-used. It's worth flushing with water between plantings...

    How does the second pot get water? When the top pot get water the lobes ( plant area) overhangs to the third pot skipping out the second pot.

      G'day, coco/perlite is a wick, so it actually only needs one drip point at the top of the tower for all sections to be adequately hydrated :-) Coco is awesome stuff

    • @mrstackyaustralia
      @mrstackyaustralia  3 роки тому

      You want to replace the water every 1-2 weeks. You can top up in the meantime, but yes you want to replace the water as the build up of salts increases the ph which is not good for plant growth. always remember, that healthy water = healthy plants. A 60 L tank every couple weeks is not a big deal....

    Just got this and have done a dry run by assembling it sans water or plants
    Looks good and seems sturdy
    Question regarding flushing the system.
    You can drain the water using the plug hole at the bottom.
    But, how do you refill the reservoir when you’ve got 20 plants stacked on top?

    • @mrstackyaustralia
      @mrstackyaustralia  5 років тому +1

      Thanks Gaurav for the feedback and glad you like it. To refill it there are holes at the top of the reservoir. Simply run a hose or fill with a watering can. No need to dismantle the system to refill! Make sure you get it in full sun for best results.... happy growing :-)

    How and why do you need to drain this every 14 days if you use it indoors?

    • @mrstackyaustralia
      @mrstackyaustralia  6 років тому +5

      In hydroponics, clean water is healthy water. The mineral salts from the nutrient build up over time and so do various bacteria such as algae etc. Flushing the system is really easy. There's a plug at the base of the unit. It's fitted with a standard 13mm hose inlet so you can connect it to any garden hose to drain it if on a balcony or indoors.

    I used hydroton in my setup because I was afraid that the coconut peat and the perlite might ruin the pump or clog the dripper head. Should I stop worrying about that and go ahead and use the coco and perlite?

    • @mrstackyaustralia
      @mrstackyaustralia  6 років тому

      Yes! Once the coco/perlite settles in, none will fall through, and even if some does initially, there's no mesh inside the tubing so it just gets carried up to top and dispersed. The coco/perlite wicks the water to all parts of the tower as opposed to clay balls which don't wick so you need to ensure constant water is supplied.... :-) If you're really worried about it, we have mesh bags that go around the pump, they're about $5 or something

      @@TarponChamp All it truly needs is about 3 min per day in 1 minute intervals (morning, noon, night), however the beauty with coco is you can't really over water it. It holds 22% air even when fully saturated. Water flowing in the system is healthy so run it 15 min on / 45 min off during the day (about 4-6 hours on total p/day).

      No, every 2 weeks is standard for most hydro recirculating systems. Some will flush and replace weekly but when plants are full grown they'll suck up a good 50 litres of water in a week anyway!

  • @louiserobinson345
    @louiserobinson345 5 років тому

    Just installed our Mr Stacky and a little confused with how long to water.
    Do you run it for 15 mins per hour, so off for 45mins over a 6 hour period in winter months??
    so this would total 1 and half hours of watering per day.?
    Is it normal for it to just drip slowly or should the water be flowing fast or freely?

    • @mrstackyaustralia
      @mrstackyaustralia  5 років тому

      Hi, thx for the query. So technically, the system only needs about 2 to 3 minutes on p/day. Just enough to wet the coco which then wicks to each planter. However, water recirculating through the system is healthy as it adds oxygen. Also, because the coco holds so much oxygen even when fully saturated, you can have water flowing often. So, we recommend a 15 min on / 45 min off cycle during the day then off at night. The water should be flowing freely out of each of the 4 outlet valves. If it's not, then with the pump running, unscrew the top 4 outlet manifold and then screw it back on. This should dislodge any coco.....

      Hi there, yes you can use vermiculite instead, would just need 4 extra drip lines on top tier to water the 2nd tier, and you'd want the system running for approx 8-12 hours each day. You not a fan of coco/perlite for any particular reason?

      We recommend about 4-6 hours on p/day in 15 min min intervals. Water circulating keeps things healthy. Technically though all it really needs is 3 x 1 min feeds p/day to keep the tower hydrated.

    • @mrstackyaustralia
      @mrstackyaustralia  5 років тому

      Yes, but I would recommend using an air filter in the reservoir and cutting back the feeding program significantly from 4 hours on p/day down to 1 minute or so (just enough to keep tower hydrated) as soil can become too wet and cause root rot. The air pump in reservoir is needed to keep the water oxygenated with less water moving....

    With this system the reservoir maintenance can be rather inconvenient. Just to name a few, how do you measure and maintain the optimal PH level with limited access to the nutrient? 60L of nutrients won't last very long on hot summer days. every time you top up the water PH level will drift.
