After its dried and fully assembled you will put the H into the tub and cenetr it pushing down gently til it lodges nicely against the tub walls. Now measure from the pump barb to the mister manifold barb and cut it to length mine was about 2 inches.Use the hose to connect the pump barb to the mister manifold barb and your ready for action...
Now I like to put a layer of the clay pebbles just covering the bottom then take my rooted seedlings or clones in 2 inch rockwool cubes and placeing them in the net pots then packing them in with more clay pebbles.You can use net pot cover lids f you want but not needed.i also reccomend a duct taping around the lid edge to just help stop any small leaks.Toss this under a 4oo watt hps and watch out for super fast growth.veg clones maybe 10-12 days and then go 12.Crop or lollipop these and you can get some nice ozs in records time....Enjoy
Now you know the basics you can use it to also make a simple clone bucket or seedling starter.All you need is a bucket with a lid some 2 inc net pots a small pump 6 inches of 1/2 inch pvs , 1 1/2 inch threaded T 1 1/2 inch threaded hose barb 1 inch of 1/2 inch hose , 5 micro misters,2 1/2 inch end caps and your ready to go.Just make a bar with the pvc put the T fitting in the center of the 6 inch pvc pipe you cut in half.put the threaded barb into the threaded T.Cut the 2 inch netpot holes in the lid and add the misters inline on the pvc pipe and away you go...
Thanks for the great tutorial. I'vee been looking for something with this kind of detail.
Love the sprinkler set up. I bought some misters at wal mart, because that was the only thing I could find, but they didn't work to well.
Thanks again

Nice setup. but why do those plants look sick or dead?
Those look like cuttings that haven't rooted yet. I'm sure they will bounce back to life.

ah those in the bucket were left over slow clones I kind of neglected as I didnt need them as they were stragler so they just kinda been hangin around so I tossed them in the bucket for the picture just to give an idea.If they root and come back with no tending Ill play with them in some soil pots and try so hormone treatments with some stuff I have been thinking of using.Basically though those are not planned for growing I took my 35 I needed and just dont have the heart to just chuck this sorry stragglers lol
thank you for sharing this as I have been looking into trying hydro/aero for my next grow. I grow in soil and am sick of the mess and the amount of space required. appears to me that my 2 400 watt lights could easily cover 2 of those setups possibly even up to 4. Anyways thanks for sharing
