    #313135 - 11/09/09 01:52 PM (15 years, 2 months ago)

Hello everyone this is my first attempt using Aeroponics. Please give me any and all input you have. I made my own system using some basic stuff at lowes/home depot. I will be ordering the beans, light, blower and carbon filter later on today.....any recommendations on a strain? The space is 6x3.

I spent about....id say around 150 for the parts, including tools like a hole saw for 25 god damn dollars lol....and I still have to get the beans for about 70-100 and the light is going to be 200....so the entire thing will run around $500....but I think I should turn a profit plus its a load of fun

still stuck on what strain I should opt for

yep, feminized also....I ordered ak-47 a while back and grew out about 50 in soil....that worked out nicely....hopefully will be able to do that big in a system like this in the coming months....

I NEED strain recommendations for quality and yield, I would like to get at least 6 z's

Ok everybody I have a little update for you......I set up my 400 HPS MH digital air cooled along with a fan and carbon filter. I decided to go with Master Kush feminized from Nirvana. They are in wet paper towels now and will go into rapid rooter plugs before going into the system....more to follow.

Hello Gentleman, they are 3 inch pots so the chambers are 4' by 4'. They are also 6 feet long. I am actually going to buy a new pump tomorrow the first one was not strong enough. As far as internal plumbing goes there is just a half inch pvc pipe running along the bottom of the chamber that has holes drilled in with ez clone 360 sprayers. I made the system myself with common stuff from home depot....the rails are called vinyl post usually used to make a fence..now they are going to be used to make something much much cooler lol......

also the last picture on my first post shows the inside plumbing while the sprayer is on, camera isnt best quality though

Well I have some spacing so I can allow them to get nice and bushy...and then prune for some nice big colas....

dont worry you will see, and after this im sure your going to make one..you dont get root locked like you do with soil, you can deliver nutes more efficiently and the plants seem to grow much much faster

Clogging im not really worried about much. I can reposition the roots away from the sprayers by just taking out the net cups which you can see in one of the pics. There will be no root restriction at all since they can grow the entire length of the tubes. I attached some pictures to show you some of the plumbing. I have a nice pump that is about 190 gph at a high PSI for great spray.









Please stop me if im getting to picture happy.....I think you will apericate that more during the actual plants phase.....Plant pics will be within 5-7 days...

Well to tell you the truth I have no rules at all when it comes to it. I went to my local hydro store and they told me which pump to get. They had a 400gph pump that I was looking at which they told me would not work because of the low PSI. So I suppose its not how much it can push but how hard.

And the good pics will come, im more excited then you are about it trust me.

Hello Everybody. Thought I would give you a little update. I planted all 12 of the Fem seeds and 8 of them took well so it looks like im going to have 4 empty pots. (Not to big of a deal since im going to go with clones next time). Here are some pics of the ladies. Enjoy!







I am thinking they will be ready for the system with about half strength nutes in another week. What do you think?

Its that time again, for an update. Put them in the system 2 days ago so now there are on a veg cycle of 16 on and 6 off. I am giving them half strength nutes for now and will probably switch to full in a week or two. I am using Fox farms grow big specifically for Hydro systems so hopefully we get some good results. Growth in the last 10 days seems to have been very nice. Temps are at 88 as seen in the pic which may be a little bit on the high side but I will have to deal with it. Enjoy the pics and please leave some comments.

Its that time again for an update, these were taken yesterday which marks one week from the last updated picture. As you can see the growth is very fast and the plants are very healthy, I am very very pleased so far, also please note that these are only on half strength nutes (will be going full in a few days).





And here are some nice shots of the root development





I am assuming these are going to be make some sweet ass clones and buds!

Actually this is my setup, no idea who stinkbud is. I just took the aeroflo and made it how I wanted. I have the pump on 24/7 as I was advised to do by my hydro shop and it is working quite nicely. I strongly recommend this system to everybody!

I only meant that I did not copy it, i'm not the only one that has ever built one. And dont talk crap about duct tape, its holds most of the world together. Also no reason to call it somebody's setup considering these were originally designed by NASA. Just relax, enjoy my shit, and maybe have a smoke when its finished.



Which reminds me, when this is finished I would like everybody to join me on here and take a puff in celebration.

the duct tape is actually only holding on a piece of plastic that allows the water to run down a bit instead of free falling into the res, it cut down on the noise a LOT.

I am a bit worried that water is not getting to all of the roots, Is the water level supposed to be right below the pots? I just raised it a bit now, before I was just letting it flow right out.
