    Red face NFT in pvc pipe

    Hi out there..

    wondering if a PVC pipe of 110 mm diameter can be used to make an NFT system ... ??

    'm Going to make holes to fit 7.5 cm pots and doing 7 holes on a 2 meter tubes, then there is little room for a few extra holes so you can look to the roots ... estimated that there will be 3 pipes with 7 plants in each so 21 in total which will be covered by 3x 400w HPS (is it enough) ??????

    obvious there will be a pump, which run 15 minutes on, 45 minutes off. but how much the pump to provide water, I am a little unsure ..????

    Also considering whether I should throw a drip system on them until the roots are long enough.??

    It all comes to a 90L tank with nuts res .....

    Hope there are some who can help ..

    21 plants is more than the allowed number of plants for this sight, either find another sight or reduce your grow to 10 plants max, this is percy sight.
    now I have finished moaning, yes it can be done and a instrution manual for making one is in one of the recent urban garden mags. lighting looks like more than enuf (like plants). and i dont think you would need a dripper because you should not put anything into a NFT untill the roots are long enuf anyways.
