This method of growing is great! My buddy spent the money and got the colliseum before this tread was started and I was looking to change and get rid of my SOG! Big props to you Heath very nice design and function...

That is some crazy cool looking stuff man. I haven't ever seen anything like it. I stayed tuned to the critcal mass x2 grow so I can't wait to see what you can do with this.

DubB83, FLoJo, GypsyBush, merahoon, greenfirekilla420, TOKEMASTERFLEX, sparat1k, thcheaven, great to have you all here and a big thanks to you all for your kind comments.
Cheers josh4321, I am usinVitalink at an EC of 1.0.
Hi trouble9039, A while back I helped set up a Colli and to be honest I wasnt very impressed with it, they need quite a few mods to work properly, so I wish your buddy good luck with it.
Holmes, there is a full spectrum of Kelvin ratings of 3k, 4k, 6.4k, 10k, for different stages of growth.
4K = Full Spectrum - SEEDLING / CUTTING
6.4k - Day Light - MAJORITY OF VEG
4K - Full Spectrum - LAST WEEK OF VEG
3K - Red Orange - MOST OF FLOWERING
10K - Uva Blue - FINAL WEEK.
I was running the 3K last week but have decided to change back to my normal growlux HPS as I was having too much growth and the budding seemed later than normal. I am running the Sunpulse bulbs on a bush grow and they are fine so it might just be that they arent ideally suited to vertical grows?.
MaryJaneNorCal, Yes!!! lol.
here we are at week 3 of 12/12, everything is running smoothly, as mentioned earlier I have changed the bulb for a Growlux HPS.

Ok I've searched here since I joined looking for my next grow setup. I was thinking rotary, then I thought no vertical aero was the ticket but I think may be changing my mind here. This is sweet!
How long can the plants survive pump failure? 8 hours until someone gets home from work? I suppose one could run two pumps half the volume and not worry about it right?
May I ask how much all the large pipe and connectors would cost? (Not the resevoir or any small tubing but just the big stuff), and if you think the adjustable collars are going to be necessary after you have it dialed in?
(Wondering about doing this with smooth wall 6" plastic flex pipe with no joints at all?)

good questions. id like to here the answers. would the adjustable collar be needed to make it easier to drain the pipes.
once you get the level dialed in, do you need to make minor adjustments or is it just good to go for the rest of the grow?
thanks

Just so you know what I'm thinking with the flexible 6" tubing, I'm thinking just a fixed spiral with foam plugs, no net cups, and fixed dams installed at ea plug hole so the water cascades over a series of dams down a straight spiral.
If that doesn't agitate the water enough, maybe some of the dams could have a shape to them that forces the water to take more air by rolling off the top of a bent edge and actually dripping instead of just flowing over a flat piece with dams further apart in the spiral so there's more of a water drop at ea level.
