The 30 minute 6 plant aero build

so my new ph meter came today. my ph has been 7.7 the last week. lame.

sooooooooo.. the instructions say that i should use some storage solution after every use in the cap. yet the meter didnt come with anything but packets of non reusable once opened phed water. and the place i got the meter from online didnt have any for sale either.

is it really nescessary to use this storage solution after every use, and if so does anyone know where i can get a jug of it or something.

dude....i just started growing....and you are my inspiration!

do you still have enough for the smaller builds 4-6 plants

Is this the mister head i do want or are these the ones you warned aginsted these seem to be the only ones on the site

This thread of mine keeps going and going and going.I have revamped the newer version of these type systems I sell and build. I have added better res tanks with locking lids for tight closure no top leaks. I have added the drain setups.Hevay duty net pots with tighter holes to hold roots and hydroton better. Also added a better setup for the pump plug with a rubber closer so its nice and tight but also gives you a place to add water or nutes right in.I reccomned a ful res change every 2 weeks max can be done every week if you like. In between drains just top off with plain ph 5.8 water and then check the res ph and adjust if needed..Lets see hers a few pics of a newer model with 8 sites....

Can you tell me where I can get one of these totes at?

Walmart $5.00

can you start clones in this setup?

Hi Guys



I have been growing from seed, and they are now about 3 inchs under 24hr light, when should I turn them to 12hrs.

Regards

Update on my clones using this system. all 6 rooted.. very impressed with the 100% sucess rate. the previous attempts ended with a whole lot of nothing.. haha. i have already cut 6 more clones. I may cut a few more holes for net pots. awesome guide for a cloner

filthy you said you used containers with locking tops, by chance what brand are they and where might i be able to pick one up? The reason i'm asking is because i read someone had leakage issues with the normal tops...and avoiding leaks would be ideal.

filthy,
I thought you were going to post a pic of your cloner? I would love to see it.

nice unit i was hesatant on going hydro now i just might do it

1 question do the roots ever block the misters from misting good


1 answer ebay has ppm and ph meter pens for under 30 dollers just look it up hana or hanna cant remember is the ones i got comes with solution to calibrate

You won't need to calibrate if you get the nutra-wand. It comes factory calibrated, and even has auto-on and off. very easy to use. only $50 ebay. I bought the ppm ec meter from china very cheap on ebay. retail is $140.

I am going to attempt a 1st grow in this set up. I need to build it and do alot of research on growing. I have one question for now. How much distance between the misters and the net pots?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge everyone.

I would try my first grow with soil, I have used this system with mixed results, but it was mostly because I'm an asshole, and break everything
but if you have everything you need, and some experience you should be fine, wait until your second grow... thats what I think

If your gonna try this system and its your first time growing don't make the fatal mistake of pushing the roots through the netcups when you put them in. Put some of your media in first then set the plant into it otherwise 3 weeks down the road you will have yellow plants and mushy roots asking yourself where you went wrong. For distance of the misters it really don't matter as long as you can hold your hand at the bottom of the netcup and it gets wet. The way to go with this system in my opinion is take a lawn sprinkler (the type you bury) and unscrew the top and pull out the spring and turn on your pump and let it rip. Gets clogged alot less and is easier to clean when it does but still holds the same effect.

Sorry missed alot of questions will try to catch up..
"do you make smaller units s" yes I can do mother buckets,clone buckets,2plants,3,4,5,6,8,10 and then bigger units I use the post setups like I grow in for 32 plants...

Where do I get the tubs I use.The blue one is a walmart tub the ones I use for building the ones I sell are alot nicer and the lids lock down.Those in bulk cost me about $20 or so each.

Can you tell where you get the new res....That one I cannot as thats one of my own secrets..

Thought you were gonna post pictures of your cloners...I will go take a couple flicks of a clone bucket I have and use from time to time.Will post it shortly

I find the lawn sprinklers are best for larger single plant setups.I will be offering an upgade to my units which will be an additional fogger inside to ultar mist the rooting systems.These are pretty easy to use I find soil to be the hardest way to grow.In these I reccomend you get your rooted clone in rockwool add about 1 inch of hydroton to the netpot place the rooted rockwool clone in and then add hydroton around the planst pack it in around the edges and it holds it in tight.

I use your exact model Fletch, the only change I did was I put in an extra pump, with a hose at the end ran that hose to the top of the lid and to each individual plant so its getting drips from the top too. the only shitty thing is when you change water you need to take the hose off the pump which takes like 3 seconds. I seem to get way huger roots that way.

YO guys! i just made this from fletch's plans shit works AWSOME!!!!!!

Hay I was inspired to try and make an aer-clone 5gal bucket. I made a 15 2' site bucket with a 350gph pump.
Thanks filthy.
