Today, we finished the entire hydroponics system, allowing water to flow seamlessly from the reservoir, through the system, and all the way back to the reservoir. We used the same format as the first pipe to make two other identical pipes. We connected the first pipe with an intake hose attached to the pump, and a second hose which transports water to the second pipe. The second pipe has another hose that transports water to the third pipe after flowing through the second one. The third pipe has a hose that lets water drain from the system and back into the reservoir. However, a problem arose when testing the system for the first time. When the water was getting pumped through the system, the first pipe started to overfill, and no water was going to the second pipe. To fix this, we slightly offset the angle of each pipe so the water was flowing down a downwards slope. Finally, we turned the pump on and water flowed through each pipe and cycled through the entire system successfully.
Keep calm and keep growing!
