      Cultivating cannabis is a marker of human advancement in agriculture in general. Humans cultivating cannabis may be a marker for humans learning how to grow crops, period. It marks our transition from hunter-gatherers to the beginnings of civilization itself
      But
      If you want to play that game
      Weed is native to central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. By the time the Chinese were cultivating it for its psychoactive effects, convoys from the area that is now Afghanistan Pakistan India had a hue of colored buds with different effects presented to the Chinese guy who claimed to have discovered it as a medicine. Sounds like sinsemilia to me Furthermore, the oldest evidence of use is from the 3 aforementioned countries, along with Nepal, along with Assyrians, Scythians, etc. Even the oldest archeological evidence of Judaism found an alter with psychoactive resin on it.
      The modern techniques of topping and trimming etc didn't take off until the 70's, when hippies returned from their stoner pilgrimage in central Asia

      I have built something similar, and it worked very well. Unfortunately I didn't back up the photos I took on my phone which was subsequently stolen so I can't post them as proof.
      Unfortunately I also used cheap totes which became brittle in the sun and collapsed after two years or so. But I'm putting a new setup together with some refinements and will take photos as I go.

Is an inside grow light needed? How long do the plants remain in this container, and are they needing to be transplanted to a larger device? Lots of unanswered questions or vague assumptions.

      You will need to use a hydroponic nutrients. They are available from many places online. We use the Flora Grow series of nutrients from General Hydroponics, but there are many other options out there. Here is the video of us changing the solution ua-cam.com/video/gYrTTLbl3Ro/v-deo.html
      You will need to change the water and nutrients from time to time but that depends on what plants you are growing. When the plants have drunk about half of the nutrient solution it is time to change it. This could be every couple days for large tomato plants in hot sun or less than once a month for lettuce in cool conditions. It all depends on the plant.

    Used a very similar system for cloning. Found the most important part to these type of systems (well at least for cloning..imagine growing would benefit), is plugging the pump into a Repeat Cycle Timer/repeating timer/whatever else they call them. It turns the power (pump) On for a certain period of time, and cuts the juice for a certain period of time (ex. ON 1 minute/OFF 3 minutes or some can be set for custom times) The roots need time breath/dry out a bit....when I made a few DIY bubble cloner/aerocloners in the past, would always had mixed results. Some would sprouts root, but many of the stems would rot and turn to mush. After plugging into a repeating timer...no problems.

Too much water CONSTANT is no good and all I got in the past is mushy stems...maybe a few would take root if I was lucky...the timer like I said is the problem fixer. And yeah, 1 min ON/3 OFF or 1min ON/4 OFF either should be a safe bet. I have seen where folks add some bleach or hydrogen peroxide...I would start with just the timer first and try the chemicals if that don't work (ya might not need them) Happy grows!

Now the roots stay out of the sump. I also made PVC cages that sit on top of each cover, and twine to help vining plants grow upward. Wrapped those cages with Mylar sheets from Amazon, added a couple of grow lights - and suddenly I’m a farmer. I have no idea what I’m doing but this is fun. All because of you three guys, thank you!
