Vertical aero racks

Sweet grow ... I like the aereo set up what kind of filter are you using, have any problems with nozzles. Also the square arrangements is far less effecient
then a circle arrangment. If u really wanting 2+ per 1000 I would switch to pvc and or fence post and increase plant numbers

PVC or fence posts...lol why? how would that increase the yield? Im about to get to 2lbs per with my system the way it is and this is with a lower yielding strain.

Wait till i get a better strain that can yield ,,lets say 2 ozs..wait lets just say 1.5 ozs per plant. I stagger the holes and veg a little longer to get bigger plants that can get to 1.5, (still with me?) ok so i have 48 plant sites @ 1.5 ozs a plant is 4.5 lbs. Is that efficient enough for yas? or how bout 2oz plants =6 lbs. is that ok?

Maybe i should cram 50 MORE smaller plants on top of the 48 already in there, risk prison time, rebuild the whole system with fence posts. Stuff all those roots in to tiny 4 inch fence posts so i get root rot from drainage problems, then maybe it will be efficient?

Nice setup. Would love to try this. But, no space

O.K. im still with you ? do i get to smell what your cooking next. For me 3lbs per 1000 watt isnt a benchmark its an average to below average yeild. If you can produce that number with 1000 watt bulbs in a square room i will comend you. Now if you had 3 600 watt bulbs in a circle instead of a square i would be far less suprised. As far as root rot in 4.75 inch pvc tubes very possiable , especially if you are an idiot and growing plants and not switching clones to 12/12 before 12 inches. With tiny plants penetration is not an issue thus no need for big bulbs i preffer 250 watt and or 400 watt on dimable 250 watt for most of grow. If plant numbers is a problem then being efficient is much harder. That being said i am designing new system out of large diameter water pipe , filling tubes with hydroton is going to be impossiable due to availabilty.So im planning areo set-up for leggy plants. I was intrested in filters, nozzels, and pumps and micron size ...

I love when people show up and tell how big of a pecker they've got with no proof, especially with 2 posts. 3 lbs per 1k is a below average yield for you? I'll believe that when i see it. and..

What kind of system is it? Its hard to believe you can get a harvest like that running your so called 250 and or 400 watt dimmable for most of the grow? How many small "under 12 inch plants" do you run per run to get to over 3 lbs using 400 watt dimmable? hmmm it doesnt add up. but we should just take your word for it?....so

Please by all means lets see some pictures of this so that we can all learn from you.

I'm with you DH. I smell BS....

oh wow, just dropped in on this and you have an incredible operation going on. Tip of the hat to you sir.


O*G*...girls talk, men walk. where's the evidence?

I didn't go vertical to be cool guy doing things different. Its simple matter Of square feet. Is it hard to believe a 5ft table producers 1.5 lb under normal flat conditions. Thats about average ebb and flow numbers. So by growing vertically I increase square ft. and by flowering 10 inch clones I use 4 250 watts around which I have 78 plants. I have rain bird sprinkler atop each of 13 post. I used plastic welder to attach 6 sections of 3 inch pvc to each column. What you chose to consider possible is figment of your own mind. I saw cannabis cage years ago and have been on that style grow ever since. but 100 % indica doesn't cut it ... so im taking my show to true hp aereo for new sytem for bigger plants .... peace

Hahaha.. you are funny guy. Sounds like you got it all figured out ehh? Been readin up? Hmmmmm... 78 clones? with 250 watters? ok lets give you the benefit of say 1/2 an oz per clone at harvest. 78x .5= 39 ozs on a good day. thats 2.4 lbs. Hmmm i thought 3 lb harvests were below average for you?

Dont ever count your chickens before there hatched, and ya might consider that tryin to go all HP aero in a small tube will get yas no better results then a much simpler lp system.
The mist will have nowheres ta go and yas wont get the benefit of the micros size droplets cause it will just hit the side and just run down and act like a lp system anyway. But go ahead and choose your own "figments". Now just blow it out your ass! and stay off my thread!

A week ago.

Nice ...............

Why only 13 posts? If using 22.5s in your base, you should be at at least 15 (I'm at 15 and am debating creating a new base with 16 columns so I can squeeze six more plants in..........have 90 ATM).

Dirthawker, looks great.............and yeah, HP aero in 4" tubes doesn't work so hot

Cant buy a better set up... if you want something done right i guess you do it yourself ++ awsome display DirtHawker

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Crastoglreen...its all in my thread if you read it.


Harvest time.






also got the system cleaned up and put the next batch in.

Wow, amazing set up. Teach me pwease??? Lol.

Beautiful grow, don't let haterz get to you lol. I've been wanting to build a vertical aero setup for a while now. Good job mate

they look frosty ..... i think your aereo set-up is tits. srry if i offended you. My only aereo experiance is with cloner. I am using sprinklers ontop of 4.75 inch FILLED columns. I would like to try using aereo in future, which is why i asked about nozzles and filters. Never intended in pissing contest, or getting negative. I am intrested in hp aereo for fact of using such small amount of nutes. Although i would never jam them in fence post. I have contemplated using lp aero in fence post, but worried about recirculating nutes and having nozzles clog ...i have plastic welder so welding 5 gallon buckets togther for hp aereo ? and not running selonoids ect. Just trying to make a effecient drain to waste system.

Nice set up
