Now lets just hope it works. It was super easy and cheap to make too :) The pvc and the fittings was like $5 and the sprayers were 10, free water pump, and I already had the rubbermaid. I think I might invest in another pump though, two seems like it would work better :)

Does anyone know if I still have to use the airstone in the res since it is an aero?

I would think so. If not to keep the oxygen levels high in the water...so it doesn't sit still as that stagnates water.

The wrxnl is turning very yellow... it has it's third set of leaves, and i was wondering if it needs some nitrogen, and that is causing the yellow. Temps in the case are steady at 84, with a humidity of 41.

Currently in there are 2 9W cfl's and 2 23W cfl's. Totalling 64W of lights. Until i get some 12" flouro fixtures I think that is gonna be max output in there.

Machnak, I have a small sample bottle of FF Grow Big, I was thinking of using it on my plants in veg right now, and I was wondering what dosage you would recommend?

I took a cutting off of the Private Reserve (Bajamed 2) it's in the aero cloner right now, lets hope to see some roots soon :) If it works, I am gonna switch to a complete aero setup. It was super easy to build, and easy to maintain IMO. Plus I have a lot of nutes that are hydro only. I also stuck a eucalyptus branch in the cloner on a bet with my friend. She doesn't think I can get it to grow roots, If I win, she has to babysit free one night :)

I'll take some pics soon, I can't find my camera right now.

Um, i'm curious, if the water is constantly cycling through the pump, and out the sprayers, then wouldnt that keep it from getting stagnant?

yes. you should be fine without one. If it is a aero-grow though. I would put airstones incase the roots go into the res.

but with a cloner I don't think it matters

I thought aeros did a timer type thing. Like spray for 5 minutes once an hour or something. Shows what I know about them. Most of the setups I see of them have airstones in them too. But if it is constantly cycling, I guess the airstone is un-needed.

Yeah, pictures would be a boon to seeing the wrxnl. I had one of them go yellow on bottom leaves and ended up flushing her w/ a tablespoon of epsom salt in a gallon of water because I had nut lockout. She bounced right back.

Ok, so i put the airstone in the rez, just in case, it was just sitting in the garage anyway, might as well use it. Lets hope it works, lol.

It can't hurt to use it. I haven't read anywhere that too much oxygen is a bad thing. I really like the aero you made. Looks pretty nice. If I hadn't already made up 4 DWC buckets I might have considered making one of those.

I have a leak somewhere, I came out and the water was down about halfway, and there is a big puddle on the floor. I think where the handles are on the rubbermaid, there is a locking mechanism, and that is the only place that i can think of where the water is leaking.

Looks good Bill, especially Odyssey. :-)

How do you post bigger pictures like that rather than small ones in a slide?

If you have the pictures already uploaded somewhere, right click on the pic, and save the link for it, then click on the picture frame in the toolbar, past the link, and it will show the image blown up.
