I'll harvest this last soil grow on April 15th, clean and reset my flower room, add an extra 20 amp breaker, position the grow unit, chiller, etc,,, cut clones, and lift off on April 16th or 17th at the latest.

I'll be doing some work tonight on the unit.

Tonight I will be cutting the holes for the chiller hoses, attaching the pipes, cutting the 2" holes for my pots, etc...

I have everything here except the 6mm rubber grommets. I'm placing a call to locate them today as they were ordered 2 weeks ago.

I'll have pictures up later.


I noticed that you had supports for the plants that you're growing in your 4 inch unit. Should I plan on having the same?

Hey everyone,


Sorry it's been a couple of days since the last update but there really isnt much to do except for waiting for my last soil grow to finish (April 15th).

Here's some pictures of the pipes after the 2" holes were drilled and the pots inserted. I also show one pic with the 2" neoprene insert in the pot.

I'll be able to go from clone to harvest in this system. There's also a pic of my 1/10 hp chiller.

OK guys, new update.....

After some figuring, I've modified the design from my original plan and I've ran the 4" pipes directly into the side of the res instead of having them sit on the PVC frame. Here are a dozen pic or so......

Here's a side view which shows the drain and the spray pump setup.



The holes beside the 4" pipe is where the 1/4 hoses will run out of the res. I'll ziptie them to the pipes and run them up the sides.



Much like Earl's setup. I drain out the bottom of my res and an inline pump will send the water back through the wall and into the tub for drainage. I left room for a pan if there's any leaks.... lol



Grommet, sprayer, and 1/4" hose assembly mimics Earls.



The float valve on the nute res.



Another shot of the spray pump and drain..



The 2x frame that will hold the back end of the 4" pipes. There's a 3/4" slope.



RO/DI water setup... installation coming soon...





My 30 gallon RO/DI res...I'm going to modify the outlet so I can run my 1/4" line straight to my nute res float valve so don't pay attention to the clusterf*ck that I have there now....




Of course I can't install anything until the 15th.....I'm counting the days. I'll be covering the unit in Mylar so it will be much more appealing to the eye when it's done.

The design comes from Earl. I've simply adapted as needed. Comments and questions are welcome.

Exciting.
Do you have a mother plant ?

I have no exp with that unit so I can't shed any light.......and Thank You.

This is my first go with aero/hydro. I've been growing in soil to this point.

Hi everyone,


Here's an update. I chopped my last soil grow 3 days early to get started on the setup. Here's some pics of the process. I fully expect to have clones bathing in this system within 2 weeks. The only reason that I've got to wait that long is because my mother isnt as big as I thought she'd be at this point. 2 more weeks and I'll be able to cut clones from her.

Later tonight I'm going to run the 1/4 vinyl hoses to the plant sites and actually run some water through the system. I'll provide sprayer in action pics when I do.























I've still got to add the mylar to the standing frame, etc. Plus, I'll also add pics of the r/o system and res later tonight or tomorrow.
