I have been reading a little about air pruning lately and decided to give it a go DIY style.

What I have done is procured a PVC pipe and drilled many small holes in it.

I then made holes in the 5 gallon pot to put the two pipes through. Now when the roots hit the air and try to grow out in the PVC they will die causing them to branch laterally.

This will be repeated at the lower pipe also which is just above the bottom of the pot hopefully increasing soil dry time and nutrient uptake.

I also drilled 6 3/4 inch holes in the sides of the pot to allow soil drying and also side pot air pruning.

Enjoy

I wanted to keep 2 cords from resting on my DIY light hood. After searching the internet, the only thing I found were tool clips for fly fisherman for $7-18. I was gonna try two of those then I thought of the name tags my Mother has at the hospital. 2 work great.
Daniels. Last pic shows the cords I wanted managed.

nice I wsh I had a few of those I can think of a thousand good uses! Great Idea!

hey MV that thing could be a beast if u did some lst to

yeah i was just thinking the same thing
those limbs are just screaming tie me down

Here is my rack for my 4x8 tray. Save yourself $300. The sides are raised to fit snuggly under the tray. It took about 45min to cut, build and paint. An extra set of hands is nice for the longer lumber.

gotcha mv i odnt now how good topping is durng flower though, and i also put all my plants in new pots the day they go into flower, just cuz i dont have space in my veg room for the bigger pots but it works with no stress to my plants

Brilliant and HIGHLY light efficient (can't stress that enought). A form of tube growing really but you just need to add something highly reflective to the inside walls all over. With a cylindrical grow space, the light diffusion is considerably more effective and efficient and all you'll need is just that 1 cfl for this one plant (which could easily serve as a mother in a perpetual grow). What did you use to make this please?

I can't wait to see yours. I started one last week. I got most of the parts, but I've been finishing the Remote Ballast/Timer. I haven't got the fan mounting figured out. I'm using a 120mm comp. fan. Mine will be for a 150w HPS.

Here's My DIY 24 site Drip/Shallow Water Culture system. Each system can be used with as little as 10 gallons of water. Its a good way to do large scale DWC grows without the crazy amounts of water. The resivor is on a constant shallow cycle, keeping the nute solution mixed and evenly distributed. The drip system helps the roots grow until they tap into the shallow water. From there they drink and do as they please I know Some of them don't look as good as they could but iam a Newb. I think I have finally Diald in and worked the kinks out of what i think will be a great SWC system

Damn those LED's are bright as shit. How are they really working out for you. I have been looking at these for some time now.

And here is the DIY i did on my grow room DIY cool tube and pretty much everything else.

Used ducting for dryer, cool tube is a glass sleeve from Old Time pottery. No need to cut the bottom off this one. Its a straight through glass tube and no swell in the middle like reg hurricanes i see people use.

DIY humidity chamber. 3.00 tote from dollar store.

1 9'' 110 CFM intake fan
2 6" 50 CFM circulating fans
1 6" inlet/exhaust 435 CFM Inline fan
2 4' Flourcent fixtures with 6000K bulbs
1 250watt HPS/MH HTG supply Light

I think that covers it

I found another use. i mounted a fan to move air out of my grow room, and it pushed the door open so I used one of these on the fan in front of it to move the door back where I want.

That cool tube looks great. DIY projects are my physical therapy.
