Aeroponic Tub Setup (1000w)

Mitus · #1 05-07-2009, 11:44 PM

This is my 2nd home made hydroponic system and I opted to go with Aeroponic this time rather than a drip system. I'm using a 3 part General Hydroponics nutrient mix for Veg and Advanced Nutrients Sensei Bloom A + B & other A.N. bloom products I'll talk about later.

I built 2 seperate 7 plant systems from 35 gallon rubber tubs. These tubs are unlike the average rubbermade tub because they are meant to hold tools (lots of weight) and the plastic they are made with does not flex with water inside of it. Yes the lids are yellow and you need to account for the small amount of light that may get through but thats not hard to do. I've started with 14 clones of Green Crack which came from a local dispensary.

I'll post a few pictures in order to give you an idea of where i'm at. I'm just starting week 4

So i'm in the begining of week 4 and i'm about to stop using the advanced nutrients tarantula. The roots exploded when i used that stuff and i have to say i'm very impressed. I'm attaching a pic of my bloom nutrients.

Recently I've had some issues such as I overfed them for a day. I did correct that quickly and its fine now. I also had some rather large jumps in PH that i wasnt used to yet haha, but i'm learning how to take better care of that.

Any tips, comments or questions are always welcome!! Thanks for checkin out my stuff guys!

very nice job, you gonna flower those soon? i personally use the rubbermade tote for cloning, but to finish plants in these type of setups with space on the lid being an issue, its not too tight in there?

Started flowering begining of 3rd week. The space doesn't seem to be too much of an issue though there are things I will do diff next time

I use the same totes you do, toughbox. Best tote on earth for growing with. Most totes are flimsy and cause a lot of problems when the plants get heavy. The ToughBoxes never bow under weight. Because the lid is slightly inset, I make drip tables out of them and they never spill. I just drill holes in a pattern all over it.

My friend is going aero with his toughboxes and is having a stunning grow, he is about two weeks from finish. I will take a picture of his setup this weekend when I go to help him then post them.

I've made about 8 of these toughbox aero setups. Each one comes out better than the last. And I'm going to toy with an aero spray/fog tub and see how it comes out
