Hey Bonsai
Thanks for stopping by.
Rain water all the way, have been since I started growing "organically" over a year ago.
I did consider using the 1 litre containers, but when I fitted them in with a very tight fit I realized that I blocked of most of the ventilation/air flow inside the cab. So I looked and thought the round 1's would allow the air flow better.
The pics you see the roots in is probably the only container that does not have a continous label all the way around the "pot", so i haven't really worried about it and I haven't found any problems with the container before. I have black paint at home so maybe when it is done and between grows as it has a plant in it at the moment.
Have you picks of your "cab" ???, always like to see how others are growing. I started with a Pc grow that Iv'e yoused for the last year but I have just built a cab to fit into the hidey hole where the Pc used to sit. Haven't really gained any size in the width and length but have gained and extra 150mm/6 inchs in height, and it is easier to access the "girls" as well.
Before and now
and when it is opened
These current plants are out of the Pc grow so Iv'e had to raise them up to hit the lights, the next 1's are due to go in next week if there current growth continues as it is. Am looking forward to see if the numbers increase with the extra height.
Cheers Johnny

Nice work mate, consistent output is a great thing.
Are you using tap water? The chlorine isnt good for your microbes, will kill them off. Good to see you re-using milk containers, I've nearly finished a micro cab designed to fit 5x 3L milk jugs or a dozen 1L. Have you considered switching to the square 1L plastic milk containers? You'll get two side by side in a PC case and being square they make more efficient use of the volume. Also, on your earlier pics I can see roots through the sides of the pot. The light is damaging the roots. Worth grabbing a $2 can of acrylic black spray paint from a bargain shop and giving the sides a blast - you'll still be able to see the roots from the bottom that way.
