Aqua Globes???

[ChronJohn]

I saw a commercial for these and wondered, since this is the vacation season, would these work for soil growers? They seem "grandma-ish" but I'm just wondering if anyone here has tried experimenting with them.

Haha! Coincidence! I just made one myself. It's nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I have a nice almost 3 foot "The Black" female that seems to go through her water faster than the other plants. I drilled a hole in the cap of a 2 liter and another one on the side near the bottom of the bottle filled it up and stuck it in soil. It's being held up by sticks.

#1, I think those aqua globes would be waaaaaaaay too small to do us any real good in full flower.

You're probably right haha I wasn't thinking of it as a full time way of watering more as just a backup plan in case of an out of town emergency or something. I was just high and when they mentioned "exotic plants" on the commercial it made me think of my garden.. any other opinions peeps?

That's pretty inventive bro I never woulda thought of that and I'm jealous of that Black plant you got.. I was tempted to try it but I've heard bad things about that seed bank. Dank looking plant tho!

damend fine idea withthe water bottle. my wife and i saw this and she mentioned it. i told her i could do the same thing with a 5gl bucket and some drip lines all from home depot.

it pobably would have saved some plants i lost during vacation but its all good. i may need to set one up anyway cause with the heat issues i have these plants are goingn through their nutes like new born babies and formula!!

but yeah the aqua globes , IMO, wouldnt really do us too much good in any stage. the concept is definitely doable just not at such a small quantity of liquid, you know how these bitches drink!! lol

Yup I saw these too and thought about making something like it. Instead I built a drip system but I'm going to try the water bottle thing Jon did for some plants that are in another chamber that doesn't have a drip system. Sounds awesome
