RE: Upcycle It - Washing Machine Hydroponic Grower - #8 Nutrient Solution System

As much as you progress in this project as much I see it a concrete reality. This is a very good "translation" of an idea to practical application. I have a curiosity as I am almost 100% ignorant on hydroponic plant growing; when the drum rotates the top plants are top down?

Nice update.

After reading the post, I realized that you could also use a small spray system to mist the plants at the top.

This last idea could be useful as some plants better absorb nutrients through their leaves instead of the roots.

You could test both methods using the same design with just a little modification. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-76ca4f0b-ec1a-4582-b01a-b5c675268d64/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]
