I've adapted a free pool I got off of craigslist into these flood tables. You can see the material underneath the reservoirs. It seems to work good, although I haven't had any leaks yet.

yeah, I actually took that video with my phone, the sidekick. Shitty, but better than nothing... well... not much... lolDam you have been busy!!!
Looking really good man, you can tell your taking your time and planning this out.
Video sucks hahaha did you take it on a camera, i tried taking pics and videos on mine and thats how it turned out. thanks for putting that video up anyways gave us a idea kinda of whats going on
Sick that all the pics come up now and the diagram that didnt come up before came up now well i can see it in your album looks like a good idea.
Going to be putting up mylar or something reflective all over the walls right ??
Doing a great job man keep the updates, questions, coming looking forward to see the room full of flowers!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, glad your able to see it now.
Yes, I'll eventually be enclosing the area around the unit to further encase it, I'll be using the foam board sold at home depot. and I don't know if I'll go with mylar ot just a brilliant white paint. I have some really good behr down in the garage. I might just use that as I've already invested quite the penny. =)
Ah... room full of flowers... can't wait...

Anything on the end of the spaghetti tubes (sprayer/mister). Why the hydroton? The physical lay out is nice, but I have no idea of what your nutrient delivery system is. Not aero because of the hrdroton, DWC would typically just floodand drain without indicidual tubes. So is it just small pot hydro with excess roots just held within the tubes. Make sure you have at least a 1" in 10 foot pitch as water will pile up behind t root masses pretty quickly. I would add a piece of root matting to the bottom of each tube to lower your chances of root rot. Should do real well as long as you can keep the roots healthy and provide enough CO2 as at the paek of a house I would think the temps are going to be high enough that even with ventilation allow CO2 level will be your limiting factor as far as maximum yield and shortest growing cyles.

You have ventilation on top but how is it setup any pics, just curious and where does the fresh air come in ???

Just use the paint for now, it will work but dont put any plants up there for almost a week and have the venting fans going. New paint can fuck up a grow same with carpet
after first harvest you should be ablt to save some money up for mylar or panda film
if you buy the foam boards from HD get the ones with the reflective material on them will do two jobs for enclose it and reflect the light

I'm using the 360 degree green sprayers.
Why not the hydroton.... I could use neoprene. Maybe I eventually will switch to that, as it is cleaner.
Technically, I know it's not TAG, however, I do believe this qualifies as an aeroponics system; as the roots are time sprayed and left to live mostly in an 02 rich environment.
Yes, I've designed the unit with one end raised to one and a half inch to accommodate adequate drainage.
I was thinking of using some cheesecloth I have around from when I was making mozzarella. Whats your thoughts on that?
I'll be using Rhizo, this is supposed to be some of the best shit on the market.
I'm still working on the ventaliation, and Co2 designs....

Hey Hulk... This is where I can draw fresh air.......well WB, that's just the thing. I don't have any reflectors yet. The angles I'm working with along the ceiling could accommodate practically any design. I'm thinking of attaching the fan to ducting and running a light rail on each side of the room. How can I accommodate my filter, fan ,lights, exhaust and still bring in out side air. Considering a three light cool tube system on a back and forth mover.
I do have an accessible gable vent. I sheet rocked over it to contain light, but it could be use to draw fresh air if utilized correctly???

I don't have it all figured out yet, but am currently working on it...
uh huh, the carpet is hella old, but clean; so, I think I'll be fine. I'll air out the room after painting fo sho. Thanks.Just use the paint for now, it will work but dont put any plants up there for almost a week and have the venting fans going. New paint can fuck up a grow same with carpet

Yea, I like the reflective foam boards for temporary walls. Expensive though.

Actually plain white styrofoam bead board is cheap and has a reflectance of 86 to 90 percent. It does yellow after a while due to ultra vilolet rays but a coat of flat white acrylic paint restores the reflectance. Most cheese cloth is cotton so it will likely not be usable for more than one crop as it will rot.

Things are moving along. I still am having a hard time grasping the pictures and system. Looking forward to watching this one. Glad you decided to document from the ground up.

So Aeroponic setup? How many plant sites per flower room? Lighting per room? How many gallon res? Looking damn good. Hope you own that house, doesn't look like a very "mobile" setup. What strains have you chosen??

Aero, the only way to high. I mean fly.
45 sites per flower room.
1200 for now, eventually 2400.
40 gals.
yes, and it wasn't designed to be mobile.
I'm currently searching high and low for some killer strains.
I have a few, but have never yielded off of them, so am not sure how they'll do. I've been looking to trade up maybe 2 for one killer. However, I may just have some super. We'll find out...
Stay tuned.

If you build it, she will come......... keep looking for that killer strain................

Hulk thanks for your thoughts. That picture is of the exterior wall of the house. I could either draw air or exhaust out of that gable vent you can see, although I would prefer to use it as the intake.
I have vaulted ceilings in my home which are on the opposite site of this gable vent. I would like to exhaust out above the living room in the small area that is left between the roof and ceilings of the vaulted trusses. I've included a new pic. Do you have any thoughts on how I can build this system.
I need it to be all inclusive. It's more complex than I first thought, because of the two room setup.
I would like the ventilation system to draw fresh air, cool lights, exhaust hot room air, and run through my carbon filter to de-stink the air that is exhausted above the area between the ceiling and roof, but it has to do this for both rooms... Here's a paint diagram to give a better idea.

Alright man just trying to help so with that said i hope i am helping
Getting confused on the top left area, i know it has nothing to do with the ventilation but then agian it kinda does.
question
is the veg/clone area sealed room walls(wood,drywall, the black plastic), seperate from the flower, or are you using one side of the attic for veg and then the other side for flower ?
the veg/clone area is kinda in the middle so is there room on both sides, front, back, left side is by door way and right side is divider wall (agian this is only if your just using a small area in that left room for veg and not the whole room
There is a door by the veg area so i am guessing theres a real wall around there some where
Alright just throwing this up seeing what you say and getting a feel of what can be done up there ya dig
lmao already started this a while ago right after wake and bake and now almost a hour later lmao i just had to finish and post no matter how crazy it all is
Ok been trying to find i know they are out there, IF you use the T duc to seperate the air flow you need to use a damper or backdraft preventer.........so it might be easier to just go with two seperate ducings for both rooms 4 ducing tubes total two for veg and two for flower but then you are going to need to Fillters for the outtake air for each room DIY area will save you money
dam man my heads going crazy now
hope i am not confusing the shit out of everyone i seem to ramble some times if you havent noticed
anyways alright going to take a break and take another rip i will be back, hope you got somthing out of all this and not just a headache
away

Also I'm gonna post a shit-ton of the most recent shots of the room in its current stage of development.
Hold on to your butts...
***Alright... Here's the photos, I tried video but my phone is shitty with the hids on.
So, That's Veg/flower room one. Which, as you can tell is not finished yet. Now, the divider wall is there in the middle of the two rooms, but not finished yet. I will be putting the dividing door in sometime soon. I hate doing doors, such a pain in the ass.
Alright now, the other side...
As you can see I've designed it so that there is plenty of room to get in there and walk all the way around the unit. So I have picked up one "Y" ducting piece, but this is all I have so far.

Those light dont look adjustable, which they should be. Also add some reflectors. kinda hard to see video
