Looking for a good Aero Setup and help

[Mathew Harrison]

So im looking for a good Aero Setup.

I've been looking at the aeroflo2 36. Now i don't know too much about Aero, im a soil guy. So im just wondering all the equipment ill need for this system. Just wondering if ill need anything more than what comes with it?. Also what nutrients will be best for this system? Im in Canada by the way but i like to buy my stuff online. Also How,much light would I Need for,this system. Would be using the lollipopping,topping, and super cropping with this setup. I use led from hydro grow Pro 500w LED. But just wondering if ill,need another one.

let me know. Herd Aero is the best for growers.

If your considering an aeroflo 36 you should think about just going with the 60. I own a couple different ones and the 60 and 36 are almost identical except the 36 uses 4ft, 6 site tubes instead of 6ft, 10 site tubes. The price difference is about 20% more but it will allow you to space things out more so you could still grow 36 or whatever and have more room. After my cuttings have rooted i veg for about 1-2 weeks and then go right into flower.

The system will technically come with everything you need but i prefer to use a different nutrient line. The coco liners are garbage and you shouldn't use them. It will come with nutrients, net cups, hydroton and all parts to get it running. You will need water (I use RO/DI), ph meter, chiller and some types of powerhead or airstone to keep things nice. The chiller is necessary because the pump will heat up the water. This is a great unit to learn on but you can build it for much less if your inclined to do so.

I love my aroe flow 120

You can build one for a fraction of the cost. My 50gal three rail site runs less than $150 to build.

SHOW US! I would love to see your build!!!!

I would like to build a vertical aero system. Sounds like the best thing to do

Ive shown it many times. Look at my threads.

If you want want some good info being new to aero, or want to just build your own and save some $, give this a read

It's a long one, but good info.

I've gotten most of the parts for my aero. But I am having doubts about the electrical aspects. I'm just not familiar with it.
So I've got a 100psi 12vdc pump and a pressure switch set to 80/100. How am I to wire the pump and switch to a power supply? Will any cord do? Or will I need a dc adapter and rewire that?

I'm also redoing my setup and have been reading many different threads. Both SS and SB have some great info on the build. I can attest to the fact that you can build one way cheaper than the Aero system. And yup $150-200 sounds about right, depending on access to materials and tools you have, like a drill and hole saw. I am still trying to decide if High Pressure misting would be better but leaning toward the sprayers instead. Its seems that the benefits of misting come at a cost of more things to go terribly wrong (i ordered a hp pump to soon lol). Also I would think that things get a bit crowded if trying to use all of the sites.

I went with

Link doesn't work, search for Clone King on Amazon.

For SOG growing. Using Botinacare CNS17. Found both after a lot of reading on here. Easy for me because all my growing is from clones and in compact space, so I can start them out in the cloner under CFL and move them to LED after about a week and no transplanting. Give or take 5 weeks from cut to cull.

My only 2 problems with the CNS17, is that it gunks up filters and what not. And i would have to add to hot water and shake the shit out of it, in order to fully dissolve, before adding to reservoirs.
