You did mention the reason for a server rack as a matter of circumstance. But if I were to do and really want the Hydropnics part, I’d sell the Server Rack (good price) and buy the cheaper Pallet Racks. The first thing that comes to mind is that it will be easier to plan, pluck, change lights, etc.
Server Racks - you don’t interact with them often, but you will need to with the Hydroponics one.
Also, your setup is too clean. Water will drip, spill, the pebbles will fall. Looks really nice, though.
About 5 years ago, I worked with a Climate Research Scientist friend, growing exotic plants in dutch-buckets, tower aeroponics, and rack mounted red-lit setups to induce Vitamin B-12 (only found in meat, so deficiencies develops in vegetarian) to Spinach trying to produce Super Spinash.
- yigalirani 8mo agoOp did mention that that it's impossible to get the rack out because they installed the doors after the rolled the rack cabinet in
- vasco 8mo agoIt's obviously not impossible, just need to take it apart.
- defrost 8mo agoOr pry the door frame apart and tap it back in place after rolling the rack out. Worth a mention as many door frames are easier to remove than a number of people might suspect .. fewer pieces to disassemble than many {object}'s and not an uncommon hack when moving furniture.
- onlypassingthru 8mo agoRemoving door frames is easy. Putting it back together without looking like crap is the hard part.
- thunfischbrot 8mo agoFor the one I have that would be irreversible. You‘d have to cut it up.
- svilen_dobrev 8mo agowhen i moved to this apartment, the wooden wardrobe i had in previous one (built on the spot) could eventually move through that door and corners but absolutely could not move through this doors/corridors/corners (or staircase). So.. i got a power-jigsaw and cut it into upper and lower halves. Those moved easily. Then "assembled" them halves with lots of metal planks and screws on the new spot. Tadaa... Luckily it was wooden.
- astahlx 8mo agoHaving it closed (like this server rack) allows for controlled air circulation if fans are installed and flow paths are designed properly. Also, in case heating is needed, for example, if operated in the basement the heat loss can be reduced.
- mcdonje 8mo agoTell me more about super spinach. B12 doesn't come from plants or animals, but from bacteria. So, I don't know how you could get B12 into spinach by using red lights. You'd also need to introduce the bacteria and somehow make it live inside of the spinach. Do you have some sort of inoculation step and then use red light to penetrate the spinach leaves to feed light energy to the bacteria?
- Brajeshwar 8mo agoYes, we had an inoculation step — measured amount added to the water supply system. Red is the generic component to help plants grow.
