So I built a quasi recirculating bubbler/nft system. It has an autowatering system which also makes it somewhat of a drip irrigation system also. I have 5 white rhinos going right now.

watch out, if you get those plants big enough the roots will clog those pipes with ease

Yeah the new ones I'm building for clones are 4 inch. But the real cool thing is it has an auto waterer. You know when you check your ph and PPM in your rez every day sometimes that water level is low and I add ph corrected water to the rez til I change it out. I set up a pump with a 24volt system to auto magically add the water to the res daily. Its fuckin awesome man. I just sent of for a ph controller that will auto correct my ph by itself if it gets out of bounds. Eliminates some daily work.

Oh yea and I also took an old air handler from a 2 ton ac system put it on a thermostat and it sucks the air thru my lights and air scrubbers. The two tons come with an 800cfm fan. I built it into a thru the wall opening to exhaust outside into the foyer. That's where all those tubes you see are going to.

Leave the fence post open to dump directly in the res and you can grow a decent sized bush or 12

I did 5 because I usually get 5 fem seeds and I wanted to take clones and put them into my other nft systems. I didnt need for them to get too large as I only need 24 clones for each other system. I was a dwc guy for years and then I got into scrogging. I developed this system to make it easier to change the water and scrog. After I started building it I started thinking of ways to automate the mundane tasks of checking ppm and ph levels and adding in water to the reservoir. That is the best thing about the system is its getting to the point that all I have to do is change out the fresh water res every two or three days since its only 5 gallons and change the main res once a week.

So after looking on Amazon for an aeroponic cloner I got pissed because they want 95.00 for the decent one. So I built this bitch for 35.00. About to take clones from my 5 lovelies and see how this mofo does. Wish me luck I'm using clonex gel and solution.
