hey fletch tried sending ya a msge tho ya inbox is full mate lol

sorry simplegrower my inbox is hella full, i couldnt respond


give fletch a chance to respond, he will. he has no problem helping via PMs. he just has a storage quota like everybody else. Unfortunately they fill up fast .

cheers l.b just got through to him then

Would this setup work good using the Scrog method and would that increase the yield?

few of these used together make s a great scrog or sog type of grow.Use clones and keep em short and flower early

what do the tubes do? help distribute the air from the pump or is that the sprinkler system?

Ahh shit, I smoked my stash and Im flat broke...Here we grow again.

you mean the pvc pipes inside the tub? those carry the water from the pump to the mister heads.Now the variation for a direct feed or bubbler dont have that insdie but a differnt setup completely but this is aero and has misters

The is the best setup for propagation but within a few weeks your roots will be hanging in the water making this a Deep Water Culture (DWC). Do not confuse DWC with true aeroponics.

You are better off using two containers. Stack them and use the bottom container for your reservoir. Cut holes in the bottom of the top container and also cut holes in the lid of the reservoir to let the water drain through.

The advantages of a two container setup are many. You can have twice the water supply as the water can go all the way to within a few inches of the top (about 15Gal.). The roots are allowed to hang completely in air. I keep them trimmed so they don't grow into the bottom container and clog the pump. You don't have to worry about air stones because the water is constantly be aerated as it sprayed.

Want to know the most important secret? You need a cycle timer set to 30sec. on and 5min. off. The constant running of the pump will heat up the water to the point you will cook your roots. The roots will also get max Oxygen with a timer because they are hanging in air for 5 minutes. Remember...It's all about the Oxygen not water! Water and Nutrients are none issues with aeroponics.

Use this system and your plants will border on the bizarre! I have two plants of the same strain right next to each other. One is a mother(in soil) I've taken to bud and the other is a cutting growing aeroponically from the same mother. The cutting is almost the same size as the mother! The leaves are twice the size and you would never guess it was a clone. My next step is more light and CO2.

Have fun and happy growing!

but why does it matter if its true aeroponics?

you said it is all about the air right? or excuse me...all about the oxygen right?

so in theory with the pump aerating the water as well as the misters why would you discredit the oxygen being produce whether it be suspended in air....or air in the water?

maybe this system/setup gets the best of both worlds.....aero & dwc !!!!!


cant go wrong with that!!!!!!!

and turning the pump on and off? wow....that would seem like it would draw more energy than to just leave it on!!!!
