Very cool, I tried DWC but didnt care for it much but this sounds pretty interesting.. and cheap

You make the best tutorials lurk. A full-on aero setup is really appealing to me, having had some minor mold issues using hydro. I'm almost positive that this will be the setup I go with for my next go-around. Solid guide man, thanks

Alright so after dealing with some leak issues and countless hours of making different sprinkler head modifications and mix n' matches I finally found something that gets a solid mist all around from top to bottom without leaking...


Its the simplest idea, but the subtle difference is the key thing..

Just adjusting the flow on the head I was not able to keep my tub leak-proof, so I have had to do some serious experimentation out of my bin of supplies..

I flipped the screw around the other way to change the way the sprayer works, its supposed to do some huge radius.. so instead of letting it spray out that far the screw head is squeezing it in a little bit more and sending it upward at the top of the top then it bounces right back down onto the roots, so its indirectly misting them, rather than blasting them.


I had been using this gravity misting concept for a few days but I couldnt seem to get it to spread out as much as I wanted. I was just blasting it up through a tiny hole into the tub and letting it splash around.. But now I have it spread out quite a bit so the mist is all over the place, but not out of control.

Leaking isnt an issue on the tub that has a 200 gph pump, thats the sweet spot for these tubs I think.

wow, that looks pretty simple and incredibly effective. too bad I don't have an RO system or a distiller. My water is too hard to try something like this.

I think you could use the water from the machines outside stores, think it's like 35 cents per gallon or something. It's already ph'd and ready to go

thats great but how do you keep the water temp up?

Use a aquarium heater. Just get one that will work for the amount of water you are heating.

I have made one and it is doing great after I made mods for my setup. Here is the first thread it was on.
DIY Aeroponics made easy! (and <$40)

I am starting today running the pump 24-7 now that this new thread answered the questions I had from the other thread.. I am having rooting problems with this last crop of clones. I am using a cheap timer so I will running the pump for 15min on and then 15min off. Have you tryed running it this way Lurk? Also have you had leaks from around the lid? Thanks
