Hydroponic plastic bottle version 4

Pet bottle type hydroponics plant No.4

A container for hydroponic culture using plastic bottles.

We used for vegetables which did not grow too much.(*^▽^*)

What you prepared

★ Plastic bottles (plastic bottles of uniform shape), ★ Oil-based pens, ★ Soldering iron
★ Scissors, ★ Cutter, ★ Vinyl Tape, ★ Aluminum Wheel,
☆ Hydroball, ☆ Palm peat, ☆ Vermiculite
(Material to put in a plastic bottle)

Notes

We recommend plastic bottles with even top and bottom.
(The bottom part of the plastic bottle like a fanta, which is squeezed on the way does not fit well.)

Future Improvements

★ We want to improve that because there is no sense of stability due to wind and vegetable growth.

How to make plastic bottle type hydroponics machine No.4

Make plastic bottle No. 4 for hydroponic culture. (｀・ω・´)

 

 

This is the first plastic bottle-type hydroponic culture machine made.

I did not notice when I was growing vegetables that didn't grow much,

When you are growing cherry tomatoes? This was a bad thing.

The roots are so crowded that they have not grown to the bottom and they are rotten.

So I tried to make an improved version of the plastic bottle type. (Modified 1 and Modified 2).

 

But there is still room for improvement while using the improved types 1 and 2, ... (;´･ω･)

Therefore, the result of trial and error is this improved version 4.

The result is （｀・ω・´）

Comparison of cultivation with improved types 1 and 2

I wonder if the water retention and air layer are reasonable and that it is good for vegetable growth,

The growth is good compared to the pump type hydroponic culture unit.

In

, we introduce how to make plastic bottle hydroponic culture vessel No. 4.

 

 

 

 

What you have prepared is

1. Plastic bottle (a container that does not constrict on the way like a fanta)
2. Oily. Pen (for mark. Color is optional)
3. Scissors
4. Cutter
5. Soldering iron
6. Vinyl tape
7. Aluminum foil
As material to put in a plastic bottle,
8. Hydroball
9. Mixing of palm peat and vermiculite (mixing ratio 7: 3)
Prepared. (｀・ω・´)

 

First of all,

Because plastic bottles are not suitable for things like a fanta container, it is better to avoid them.

Draw a line where you want to use an oil pen.

The location of the marker draws a line 10 cm from the bottom in a 1.5 l container.

Once you've drawn a line, make a cut with a cutter and put a pair of scissors in it and cut it. (^ ^)

(It is better to stop cutting with the cutter alone. It was dangerous and did not cut well.)

I cut it in half.

 

Next, prepare a soldering iron. (The soldering iron was sold at 100 grade)

The position of the hole to be opened is about 3 rows at the lower position as much as possible ((total of about 30 holes in 10 rows in total))

 

 

Next, wrap the plastic bottle with aluminum foil.

Attach aluminum foil with plastic tape where you want to start from

And, I put around the aluminum foil and stick it.
