Bloom Brothers GGWR06 Inch Hydro Halo Water 6" W/3 Leg Support

They work well,I fitted mine without the spikes, hot glued on top of 6" Net cup lids in a 5 gallon pail setup (4 of them), so they sit flush.They water right on the outside of the medium (soil) and they are on a ART DNE type timer system with drains. Five gallon pails because it makes for more room and time if things go wrong.For me they perform their task well as I live alone and am away driving a Big truck for 8-12 days at a time.Beats a plant sitter.These things allow me to just come home and prune, tweak and fuss and let me enjoy the Berries, Green Onions and what ever else I have going on. The Garlic doesn't need them, they are a lot slower and are on their own in self contained pails, no flood and drain, just single pails in a DWC. All of this inside the house for all the same reasons.Different drain rates for those Greens that need it and I'm rolling!The rings are convenient and feel good and sturdy, we'll see how they do in a while, sofar one trip and home without problems.I'd recommend them even just because they work good.Hope that helps.

These are good halo rings but here are some tips.First make sure you evenly distribute your water tubing to supply equal pressure to each dripper. Secondly keep them off dirt or soil so they dont clog.Third install them level so all the holes on the halo ring are used.I uses a 1/2 barb pvc fitting over each leg and push it all the way up.This way when i push the halo down into dirt its is level. Its simple plus it keeps them off the soul about a inch and a half.Lastly use good nutes.Really dirty or salty nutes will clog them.

If you are using it as more of a drip I figured out it has to be level. Otherwise the water won't come out equally. Seems to work better when higher pressure.

Finally Found a Perfect Hydroponic Plant FeederThese are the perfect solution to water my plants, which are in 8" net-pot lids for 5-gallon buckets and filled with expanded-clay beads (Hydroton). I tried lots of other home-made watering arrangements with drip-irrigation components and nozzles, but when I bought a few in a local "grow yer' own" hydroponics supply store and tried them out, I just had to stock up from Amazon to make sure all my plants were so well-equipped. I see that they are also available in other sizes, too, but these are just right for me - and easy to hook-up and install. The ring is flexible enough to twist in order to get it to fit around larger trunks without cracking or breaking, and the plastic stakes are even more flexible but stiff enough to be pushed down into the Hydroton beads without fear of breaking. Since they don't present any back-pressure to my hydroponic pump, they might not allow you to use a combination of these with pressure-fed mini-sprinklers and drip nozzles because they flow so freely. I use a repurposed aquarium pump/filter setup (Penn-Plax), so I'm not concerned with the nozzles getting clogged up either.

Notice that the opening is so small that once the plant is enclosed inside and quickly outgrows the opening, the only way you can move or remove it is to destroy the plant, which makes it risky to use. Summary: A good idea but a lousy, lousy, lousy design. That's a shame since I was looking forward to using 4 of them. Returned.

These things work great! Maybe I’ll find out for myself if I ever get it. It was out for delivery and arriving today! Then I get a notification that there was a problem and would maybe arrive in the next two weeks sometime. What a joke. I will be looking for a refund.

Love these! I bought five, one for each of my rhododendrons. It gets hot and dry here in August and they wilt. This year I installed a timed drip system, and these serve up the right amount of water: Not too fast to be harsh and not to slow to be a drip.

Saw these and realized they would be a very easy solution to my top watering problem. Some of our orchards a in deeper reaches of the space and by assigning these rings to plants and groups we can keep the process moving well. I hav read some people saying the clog but I have not yet had any clogging. I suggest they. Look into the disolved content I ,of thier fertilize or nutrient concentration. So them, drill the hole out slightly.the rest of at larger. Never clogged
