The New Hydroponic Twist-Cup 🌀 A Net Cup Improvement – Locks & Stays Secure When You Lift the Lid!

🔗 The "Fun With Hydroponics" Etsy Store Link: https://funwithhydroponics.etsy.com Tired of your net cups falling out every time you check your hydroponic roots? Whether you're adjusting nutrients, refilling water, maintaining pumps and bubblers, or even dealing with high winds—losing your net cup is a major headache. I decided to solve this common hydro grower frustration by designing a better solution: A net cup with external threads! 🪴The Hydroponic Twist-Cup 🌀 In this video, I introduce my brand-new invention: The Hydroponic “Twist-Cup," "TwistCup," or "Twist Cup” (or whatever you name it!) This small cup features external threads that allow it to screw and lock securely into your standard hydroponic bin holes. This is not just a cup; it's a secure anchoring system for your seedlings. Seriously—try knocking these loose! Key Benefits of the Twist-Cup: ✅ Secure Lock: Screws directly into the bin hole for a rock-solid hold. ✅ Easy Bin Maintenance: Root inspection, nutrient & water refills, pump/bubbler care, etc. Tilt your lid without cups falling out. ✅Wind Resistance: Stops cups dislodging from harsh summer winds. ✅Plant Safety: Protects delicate seedlings from falling out. ✅ Universal Fit: Common sizes can be made to fit with most standard hydroponic setups. ✅ Simple Installation: Just twist and lock! Watch to see how this simple idea developed & how it may change the way you maintain your DWC (Deep Water Culture), Kratky setups, and other hydroponic systems! 🚀 Support the Project & Next Steps This video features my 3D-Printed Twist-Cup Prototypes.
