How many holes (StinkBud) in the PVC posts, if I want to max out?!

What's the incentive for your deception ss?

Keeping the flow going is exactly what keeps them aerated and what prevents problems opposed to letting them soak in the same still waters. While his sprayers are lacking it's hardly a hybrid system (which is a bs phrase in this context as well).

5 runs all white roots, just water + nutes. Now take a look at what others here have to throw in their rez to keep roots healthy.

@Daithy: As you have noticed, or will notice sooner or later, certain people in these forums think their way is the only way because else they have to admit they've been doing something wrong based on their flawed logic. Math, logic, fact, experience, it all doesn't matter for the likes of superstupid.

Please read the instruction manual of the original, from the pros. Systems like this are supposed to run 24/7, putting it on a timer is begging for problems....

I always ran 24/7. I started builing tubes similar to the new aeroflo tubes 23 yrs ago. holes were 11" on center. But we did zero veg time. Just started with small rooted clones in oasis cubes. Any strain we would rock, ended up around 2-2.5 foot tall. We killed it that way for about 10 yrs. Too many plants for our setups these days though

I've read several posts about cycle timers in these systems. I don't get it! if your rezzies are getting too hot running 24/7, fix THAT issue. Shit, they got rez chillers now. easy

**edit: I didn't read the whole thread before posting. Sativied is spot on with his advice about this type of system.

It's like turning off your car every four miles for a mile on the freeway when it gets too hot, instead of fixing the car.


The sprayers are not there to periodically spray nutesolution in roots a la HP aeroponics (or bounce of the innerwalls to create true aero like some want to pretend) - where the goal is saving water and nutrients because water is scarce in outer space and in the desert - they are there to increase aeration of the flow, "AeroFlo". Stopping the flow and hence aeration with the idea to prevent root problems is rather counterproductive.

Wow, sativied, you have become a huge holier than thou asshole. You don't see me saying anything personal or ugly about you. My way is tried, true and proven. I'm just trying to help, not be a stuck up ass.if you don't like it tough, grow up.

I havehave many years experience using rails only and many of my ideas and upgrades have been used by many with great success. Just no need to be that way at all.

Hey guys was up? Was reading some here and have a question maybe someone can help with. Can nutrient be ran straight into the chiller if there is a titanium exchanger?

Wouldnt using a pump inline instead of submerged help with res temp as well. I just ordered a fixed cycle timer because i was planning on running 2 on 5 off but im starting to second guess. After all in the aeroflo instruction manual it does say 24/7
