The 30 minute 6 plant aero build

Now you know the basics you can use it to also make a simple clone bucket or seedling starter.All you need is a bucket with a lid some 2 inc net pots a small pump 6 inches of 1/2 inch pvs , 1 1/2 inch threaded T 1 1/2 inch threaded hose barb 1 inch of 1/2 inch hose , 5 micro misters,2 1/2 inch end caps and your ready to go.Just make a bar with the pvc put the T fitting in the center of the 6 inch pvc pipe you cut in half.put the threaded barb into the threaded T.Cut the 2 inch netpot holes in the lid and add the misters inline on the pvc pipe and away you go...

This is the post I was talking about.

So it says to use 2" net pots. Do I take the seedling, put it in rock wool, and then cover the top of the pot?

Once the roots grow, I transplant this to the 3" pot in the x6? How would I do this? Wont the roots get all tangle up in the small pot?

Wy not just start in the x6?? Or is there a better way to go from seed/clone to something I can grow in the x6?

Thanks for the Tut! Over two years later and I still found it useful!

Hey Fletch, I ended up building your 6 plant aero (pvc, misters) and an 18 gallon rubbermaid. I germinated 3 seeds put them in rockwool under lights for a week until roots came out the bottom then put them in 3 inch pots with hydroton( covered up the other 3 pots so no light gets in). So far a week has gone by since using the aero and they are doing fine. I will start to use FF fertilizers in another week or 2. My question is how many gallons of water should I be putting in the tank when I start using the ferts weekly?

wait another week for the nutes then put them in the vegging system. put about 10 gals in the 18gal tote and mark it with a permy on the outside so you know how much to put in from that time forward

Will do thanks for the reply!!

give these ppl like FilthyF some rep when he helps you. he's a fuckin G

Glad this tut is stiull helping people get into aero growing. I fill my tubs to just below the pvc distribtuor which you can adjust by size then measue water in gallons til you get there. I like about 6-8 inches from the top of the lid so anywhere from 10-12 gallons usually will work in a 18 gallon tub

Fletch Response: You can start seeds in the 3 inch netpots in the 6x unit. The cloner bucket is rooting clones not needed to start seeds. The cloine bucket has 2 options.You can use the netpots with or without rockwool or can replace the netpots with the 2 " neoprene collars that suspend the cutting in the air til rooted then move them over.. The cloner bucket allows you to have a smaller unit to get clones ready for the next grow. Smaller place smaller light easy to use...

Oh and to those interested maybe tonight Ill start the post. I am going to post a DIY how to build the Ebb n Grow system. I have everything ready to post showing how to build the controll unit and setup and instead of $499 my setup cost me about $100 with my bit of creativity. So look for that one and I promise I will get back to my DIY BC Bloombox for 1/5 the cost....Good Grows all

FF, thanks for all your help this is my first grow and so far my plants are doing great and are looking very healthy using your easy DIY setup.

FF, here's some pictures of my first grow thanks to this very easy DIY thread. I started with seeds 2 White Rhino 1 Dinafem Blue Hash. When the seeds hatched I put them in rockwool under fluorescent lights for 2 weeks. I then put them in 3 inch pots with hydroton in an 18 gallon roughneck and they've been growing the last 5 weeks. I have them in a 4X4 grow tent using a 600 watt light and they are now 13 inches tall. I've been using the Fox Farm schedule and had some problems with nute burn but they are looking good so far. Should I switch to 12/12 now or should I wait a little longer?

Great to see pictures of them in grow. Im really surprised you got any nute burn as I have never seen anyone get FF to burn. I go way over the charts levels and never had a burn yet..Good looking grow..

Only the low fan leaves got burned on my second week of feeding them nutes. I haven't had any nute burn problems since. I have stuck with the FF feeding schedule and everything is looking sweeeeeeeet so far.

how do i go about getting 1?
