question about growing in an aerocloner

basically you will be doing a dwc grow at that point. Need airstones. Not the best way but doable.

Gotchya. I guess ill have to make the reservoir then. Shouldn't be too hard. Any rule about the reservoir being to be the same size as the "cloner" or can it be smaller?

the bigger the rez the more stable the levels stay.

you need rails like stinkbud to transport the rez water into.. You could try to replicate his cloner (a stacked configuration) but eventually the roots would seek the reservoir as they grow longer. Or, as was said, once they hit the reservoir water you could just trade your pump for airstones and go DWC

switching from aero to DWC wouldnt shock them?

The inside diameter of the tote is 27"x18" and I would be adding 6.5"-7" of water. Thats just about as high as you can go to fill completely over the pump. From the water line to the bottom of the netpot's is 12" of space for roots.

27"x18"x6.5" = 3159 cubic inches
1cubic inch = .0043gallons
3159x.0043 = 13.5 gallon reservoir
this math might be wrong so please correct me

Ill probably do three plants in the center of the tote. My cycle timer is 1 minute on 4 minutes off. 400w mH and HPS. And ill be starting with well rooted indica clones. The plan is to set up a 5x5x7 grow tent with a 6" vortex fan and carbon filter

tips, comments, and concerns please discuss. Its been a few years since my last grow and that consisted of a few failed micro grows and a successful single outdoor grow. If this method doesnt work out, I will plan on switching to the Hempy Bucket method before trying the DWC. Thanks for the help.

Here are some pictures of the unit.

I clone and veg in Aero and flower in Aero and dwc. There is no problem going from aero to dwc.

so when the roots run out of space and start getting submerged do you just run both sprayers and air stones? Sounds simple!
