Ok so I checked out both the your homemade system in your other journal and this journals purchased system. I have a question about the adjustable drain tube in the chamber. I think I understand that your home made system was an aero only type where as the GH system is aero/nft? I think I can find a way to add an adjustable drain tube to your older home made system making it aero/nft, would this be beneficial?

My problem is I dont understand how the drain tube works exactly. I believe it allows some of the nute water to remain in the chamber. If that is correct, do the roots have a higher chance of rot? Maybe a pic of the tube would help me understand?

Anyway just something I'm having trouble with. I am building a close replica of your system so any knowledge of the works would be great.

hey buddy..i havent made one of these machines at home...both of them are purchased. but the drain tube goes into the reservoir. i believe the tubes are on a slight decline towards the res. i keep the water around 67˚ with a chiller and that keeps all my root rot, and mold at bay. when the plants wake up later today i'll snap some pics to give you an idea.

Hey smokey, nice grow. I built my own aeroponics boxes heres a few pics, I do not use hydroton, just the foam, works great! Also, Im sitting on some extra meds here I wanted to "donate" to a dispensary but most of the local shops just offend me here and have been burned by a "weed broker" already. really need a solid co-op to donate to. where is your dipsensary located? Is it in So cal? I have White Queen dried and ready to fly right now, but also have 13 other strains in the works. All Aeroponic using House and Garden nutrients, no bullshit 15 minute high here! I think a lot of more comercialised growers are using products like miracle grow to drow more for less because when I start buying weed from the co-ops, my lungs start hurting again and I start smoking more to keep medicated. I easily get rid of what I got but I will be blowing it up very soon with super silver haze, critical mass, bubba kush, OG#18, Black Widow, China Yunnan, Afghan kush special, sour kush, NYC diesel, UK Cheese and a few other I cant remember. all from seeds, feminised and ready to clone. I have about 2500$ in genetics alone so I am serious about my medication and providing medication for patients

i had a quick question. i was looking at your other aerflo 60 LED grow and it said you fit a aeroflo 60 in a 4' x 8' grow tent? is this true? im trying to order my whole setup at once and the GH website says the aeroflo 60 is 5'1"x7'. but since i saw your last thread i was thinkin if i could fit the 60 in that tent it would be pretty sweet. lemme know. thanks

Hey smokey how are those lady's looking? Showing any purple yet?


Had a question for ya, im about ready to lolipop my diesel female and i figure i might as well bang out few clones, maybe keep one as a mom depending on how much i like the strain and what not.. Do you have any good tips on cloning, Like the best place to make cuts? Btw i will be using rockwool and a humidome..

i take cuts all over the plant, as long as it's about 4" long. make sure you soak those rockwool cubes for at least 24 hrs...

best tip for cloning would be to not let the cubes dry out, but thats a no brainer...i use a heat pad too. i trim most of the fan leaves off too, and the ones i leave on i give a lil haircut too.

Not necessarily less heavy, just doens't put much growth into foilage when you cut the leaves instead it puts most of it's energy into root growth. Which it what you want for clones :-)


Correct me if I'm wrong though! :weed:

the clones dont have any roots to feed them water. thats why you give them high

humidity.. so if you have big ass leafs on your cuts it needs more water for those cells

to stay alive which can cause it to wilt/dry out if it dont have anuff water/humidity.

which will lead to stress which isnt good..bla..bla..bla..like somkey said cut off the big

ones and give the rest a hair cut ( cut leafs in half ).....NOW LETS SEE SOME FUCKING

BUD PORN SMOKEY!!!!!:hump:
