Default DIY Aero CFL 12/12 from seed
12/12 from seed project in my two-tub aero design.

Using ~270W of CFLs putting out 17,500 lumens

No clue on what strains though.

I got the female from a buddy who had her under 1 26w cfl in a solo cup, I am expecting the one that has been in the aero since it was a tiny seedling to get a little bit bigger before starting to flower.




Here is what my aero setup looks like, its pretty simple.

10 Gallon tub inside an 18 Gallon tub, water gets sprayed into top tub via pump/mister then goes down into res through drainage holes.

Cost me about $60 all together, got everything but the net pots from local stores.. (target for tubs petsmart for water pump home depot for mister head and screw on tubing)

If you were to buy the pump online from HTG with say.... the net pots you could save like $20.



Timer is 15min on 30min off all day.

Yea, its just a 360 shrub sprayer head, works great, you can adjust the radius of it to fit the tub.

12/12 from seed is the best way to grow big sativa plants, it keeps them manageable, some companies even say to top your plant at the beginning of flowering to keep it manageable indoors.
