Burying the drip ring in my Aquafarm

**galt** · 17-12-13, 12:13 AM

I have been running my Aquafarm a few days, and of course I am getting some algae growth. Is there any reason NOT to add a few more inches of rock and bury the drip ring ? I hate algae.

I dont see why not i was going to and a ring and hide it in pebbles on my hempy buckets but im only a leaner so have no experience other than my own thoughts. Lol

It wont be an issue covering the ring as long as the root systems still getting watered/feed.

Just cover the top of the farm with foil or summit...if your pump gets blocked you might not notice with the ring buried...you can always remove foil to check.

As wah wah said mate.. cover the top mate.. I used a sheet of mylar with a hole/slit in the middle and it worked a treat.

Will you be running the drippers throughout the whole grow?

Too late. It is buried.

And i don't think I will get a whole grow out of it. 50/50 chance it is a male. I am likely relocating in Feb. This is just an experimental grow to see how this system works and how fast growth is once the roots get going.

you can cover the holes with foil tape and just leave the bottom hole in the ring dripping so its not that much splash ...you could also cover the plant with a waterbottle till it get past the ring
