September 2014 Update
I've been doing a lot of experimenting as usual. I've gone to 5" rails and added another veg stage. I'm only running 6 flowering plants per unit. My cloner still works great after all these years. My last plumbing design works perfect. I'll post the cloner plans just in case you haven't already downloaded them.
I"m running Kandy Kush, Critical Kush, Pineapple Express, Critical Sensi Star, Arjan Haze and Blue Cheese right now. The latest pheno of Kandy Kush tastes just like OG Kush. The first pheno I had was more like Train Wreck. I have another seed of Kandy Kush I should pop. I love that shit! If you haven't grown Kandy Kush go order some seeds right now, you won't be sorry.
The photos are of the different stages. Coner and Veg units, Veg unit, flower units. It's all one big party! You guys keep up stoke and I'll try to keep you guys up to speed on the latest and greatest.

Hey stink didn't a while back you were praising purple wreck? So do you prefer kandy kush or purple wreck now? Also in your stink bud jr 6 site are you stil vegging 3 weeks before 12/12?

Purple Wreck was a little too leafy for my liking. I really like dense, hard buds that are easy to trim. The Kandy Kush pheno I'm running now rules! The taste is incredible.
I have 2 phenotypes of Arjan Haze right now. One if them is sweet with a hint of citrus, the other just kind of sucks. LOL
I'm vegging 6 weeks now. 3 weeks in the small veg unit under the 250W MH and another 3 weeks in a rail system under 1000W HPS. Which reminds me, I need to pick up another MH bulb for veg.

I really don't think it matters much with my fence post systems. They are primarily an NFT system. I think the timer has more to do with O2 than the size of water droplets. Let me explain, the plants are sprayed for 1 minute and then left to dry out for the next 5 minutes. It's the dry time that allow the roots to be exposed to the air. The longer the dry time the more water that drains leaving roots exposed to the air. Even clones do better with timer set to 1/5.
The most important thing in growing is which strain you choose. If you can find a killer strain it doesn't matter which technique you use. You can take some Kandy Kush seeds and grow them in some good soil and you will end up with some dank weed. All aeroponics does is give you more weed with less hassle.
I switched back to soil last year but then switched back to my system a few months ago. Why? Soil is the biggest pain in the ass on Earth! Too much fucking work! It had been so long since I grew with soil I forgot how much it sucked. The thing is I have both soil and aero buds in my stash right now and I actually prefer the taste of the Aeroponic grown bud! I shit you not.

Why the longer vegg , were you seeing a decrease in yeilds or is it due to the strains you are running now ..

I need to keep my plant count to within legal limits. In Oregon you can run a lot of plants under 12" but only 24 max for everything over 12". In Washington you can only have a total of 45 plants per grow site including clones. So now I have a lot less plants but actually harvest more.
I completely filled a rack with just 2 plants once! I train the fuck out of the plants. I super crop them, then bend everything over and over again. I try to keep the plants under the first net layer. Then when they go into flower and start stretching I keep bending the branches over using the top layer of netting to keep them down. I don't get the big donkey dick buds but I do get a lot of Asian dick buds.
It is a fucking jungle! One time I even saw an ape in my flower room. Then I realized it was just my reflection in the Mylar.

So far an excellent read, I've got many more pages to go but I loving it so far. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to be so detailed.
I was wondering if you can detail the fence post setup or point me to the approximate page if you already have. I've done DWC but it's always a battle with temps living in the South and growing in soil sucks IMO. This past weekend I got on youtube and started looking at various DIY hydro variants. One of them was the fence post setup which I really dig and could probably keep the res out of the grow area solving my temp issues. The problem is the guys doing the DIYs are nowhere near as thorough as you. They give most of the info but not enough for a complete noob, particularly the specific parts and sizes.
Thanks again for the great thread and posts.

Do you run the pumps when the rapid rooter is in the cloner?

You need a recycling cap timer like this

Then run it through a relay to run all your pumps.

I like the timers with no knobs or switches to fuck up. You can find 1 on 4 off if you do a search in Hydroponic stores. It's cheaper and better than the ones with knobs. I have used a simple timer with my Aero/DWC system but the roots always have some water (DWC).

Yes you need to run the pumps. As soon as you have a nice tap root pull the seedling out.
