Happy Hydroponicing!
Cool!
When is Hydroland gonna ship to NZ please
Have you tried contacting Hydroland directly to ask?
Same for EU
Yes @@innocentbystander2673
or even uk
All looks good – especially the horizontal idea. I wanted to build horizontal but the timber in bunnings isnt the same dimensions of the deeps (from memory) and plus can’t be ar$ed the idea of just getting some standard boxes and drilling some holes and using the way you presented looks good plus if change of circumstances then just plug the holes and reuse the boxes you can also go as wide as needed with custom long langstroth you probably limited to what length of wood you can get at box store (bunnings about 1.8 or so) and would able to do potentially horizontal splits as well as go vertical as needed – good one looking forward to your results!
PS: What you doing for polination in the green house? Perhaps box of native stingless? Could set up a box to be either outside and pipe to let them in (same with honey bees)
PPS: Any news on the brewing front??
Your NFT wicking onoins look like the wick is pulling too much water up, have you tried drilling a hole at the bottom of your 3d pinted insert so the exess can run out?
Such a short glimpse of the 3d printed auto harvest frames. But I can see it looks like maybe the middle insert slides up??
Cool video. I always enjoyed your content. I was wondering why you have avoided air pots and grow bags or any other air pruning systems in your systems?
Does it work to sprinkle cinnamon on the funnel pots to mitigate the problem of algae and mold?
I love that you are always innovating and iterating on designs.
I have been using a wicking 3 inch net cup full of coco I designed in my nft for spring onions and have the same issue. I was thinking about extending the net up vertically about an inch to add a layer of scoria to prevent the algae. But you are correct the wicking action works extremely well. I like the trough idea.
Also for the hinges on your hives, you may try using ASA as it is significantly stronger than Pete and also better with us resistance. It is really tough stuff, just use good ventilation when printing it because it does release VOCs.
Interesting arrangement. Two migratory lids next to each other, a potential issue with water ingress if the girls don’t propolise enough quickly, could be mitigated by another cover over the whole top, but not sure how to mitigate that when one side has a 2nd box on top. Water runs down the tall side and then into low side box, mmm.
Yeah this is something that I’m trying to solve at the moment… maybe some kind of rubber seal attached to both lids between them…. Unsure.
Maybe a gutter at the top of the join between the two base boxes that directs water forwards and backwards
Consider a wide lid to keep the water out
A combo hive. A vertical hive combined as a horizontal hive. It’s an interesting design, but can it be extended in upwards direction, left, and right?
OK, your video just answered my question.
My main concern may be that the mite would be in the honey side when you were treating the hive.
I would love to see your3D printed frame test results.
nice love that nft and deep flow system wish i could buy it here in uk, at moment im experimenting with self watering systems with media and radishes, so far its good
taro looks like jerusalem artichokes are they same?
Ok I won’t
You can name your bee keeper hive solution: B2B
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My retirement exactly
I had a deep flow system very similar to that the main problem I had was that the lower levels didn’t get enough light and root rot had to always add hydrogen peroxide
I always hang out for your videos and I seriously can’t wait!!😂 You’ve been busy as usual experimenting and it’s definitely going to be some great content👌
A bloke I follow in the U.S. that builds unbelievable long hives has experimented building longs that take standard boxes on top. Rickey Roark is his name and channel🍺🍺
Just checked out RR vids. Wow. I’ll have to do some study 😂🙏🏼
I keep bees. In Oklahoma USA if it can’t be done in the wind it can’t be done at all. Did you consider the wind load on your hinged hive lids?
Mate, you are gold!
