    I'm really interested to see how the plants grow in this system and I will make update videos. As I have numerous outdoor / greenhouse hydroponic systems the LetPot LPH-Max could be very useful for me growing from seed to small plants before moving them on to my main food production systems.
    If you have limited growing space then an indoor growing system could be the answer so if you're interested check out the links above.
    The projected selling price is $329 with an 'early bird' price on Indiegogo of $229 and a 'super early bird' price on Indiegogo of $199.

    To be honest I've not much idea of what Rumble is or does but it seems quite popular among people more tech-savvy than me....and somehow plenty of people have already found the videos judging by the views (and 'Rumbles'?).
    Both Odysee and Rumble have new videos uploaded to them as soon as they upload on TH-cam.

    Hi Richard, thanks for your kind support! Since we are in the state of pre-production and the sample was temporarily installed manually by engineers, the current prototype is not the final version. Like the voice control and app control functions will upgrade continuously in the pre-production stage and bring the complete version to all of Max's lovers🥰

      Sorry, I forgot to send you the links to the videos when they went live. The seeds have started to germinate already so it's all looking good.
      For a pre-production model everything seemed to be working well and the sensor fault cleared so I'm guessing everything is fine now.

    I am surprised there is no air pump/venturi for aeration (to help reduce anaerobic zones forming) or ppm/ec sensor (to monitor the nutrients and dose them as needed). Looks like a solid effort overall and I cant wait to see future models after some more testing and refinement.

      Hi there, there is inserted sensor to detect the water level. When the sensor detects a shortage of water, the Max will automatically add water from the sink, then spray the corresponding nutrients in proportion according to the amount of water to make the most suitable ratio for plant growth.

      I was thinking. Seed need 0 nutrients for at least 2 weeks. Sounds great . light gets to the water and grows LG LG opps algae

      (my other channel) I did an update at 14 days but by 21 days the plants were starting to get a bit crowded so I moved them to my vertical hydroponics systems.
      I have the majority of the hydroponics and gardening videos on my Thousand Yard Stare channel and here us the 14 day update: th-cam.com/video/swQ4CEZGRNs/w-d-xo.html
      Bear in mind the plants are growing in a cold situation where the only available light is from the Lepot unit - I wanted to give it a proper test.

    A lot of money for something you don’t really need to do hydroponics. You can get 60 sets of lights for that price.

    Are any of the accidents that are possible of over spillage of water nutrient mix covered by Insurance renters or renters insurance?

    • @pondguru
      @pondguru  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unless there's a problem with the auto-filling system it's not going to overflow. Just avoid using the automatic setting and top up manually.
      As far as insurance goes I have no idea as I don't deal with that but spills of any type causing damage to electrical goods / carpets / furniture etc. would be covered as standard on a normal insurance policy.

    • @pondguru
      @pondguru  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I tried that and it wouldn't work for me that way since the pump would not draw the water up the skinny tube - maybe I didn't have it attached to the pump end properly so will check that next time I use the system (probably next week or two).
