Schedule 40 Pvc?
I'm not sure what the threshold size is to be called a "tree".
I run 6" pvc ------but not fixed plant position------and no medium (except starting seed).
A few more designs in my sig.
Do you have pics?
A~~~
Better (easier) than using double sided velcro tape also.
One application for those vine clips I am very pleased with.
Holding the spray line in position and easy enough to unlatch.
Let me know how you like those flip clips (if you ever do).
A~~~
High tyy?
Here's a link for "clip twist lock wire ties".

A little part I liked for training plants to a screen trellis.
The white made them much easier to locate.
About 3 cents each (from memory)

Nice work, well designed system.
Suggestion:
Instead of rooting cuttings or starting seed in soil-----try vermiculite (my preference) or perlite----much easier to rinse off.
Obviously the pic is of a rooted clone. Same process can be used for starting seed.
Used bloom soup at around...
Friction,
Funny stuff about herman and bathroom usage.
Something to watch out for-----bugs.
I say that because every time I bring a clone from some other garden-----bugs.
Avid and forbid are my guns of choice.
As for cutting/s plant location----I get the best strike rate from healthy bottom...
Yes that is correct----but the voltage is doubled.
Unless ohms law has changed recently--- power (watts) is voltage times current.
The power companies charge by kilowatt hour.
Example:
If I run a 1000 watt light for one hour----that would be 1 kilowatt hour.
My kilowatt hour cost me 15...
1800 sf house------$1000 a month during summer----never any "heat" for several years.
If you can't control your demons, they will make your life NOT fun.

My opinion also.
Just how much better (yield wise) running "true aeroponics"------I don't know.
My guess is 10-15% increase-----and that's a wild guess because I've never run "true aero."
What do you guys think?
A~~~
^^ 22 zips from how many flowering watts?
First ride with the aeroflow---not bad. IMO, that system has nothing to do with "aero."
A more descriptive name would be something like "pee and drain"-----which my medium less version has preformed well for many years.
A~~~
Perfect -----mucho thanks for your effort :clap:
If that reading is near 5000 fc? then my conclusion:
Singled ended 1K HPS horitulux in a 27" X 24" reflector.
16" directly below is 10,000 fc (full sunlight intensity)-----so at 32" is 2500 fc.
Did this make sense ? about the penetration.
Excellant post as usual :clap:
What does "crucian expression" mean?
My take on this nute strength discussion:
I've run constant circulation in tubes (no medium) at high PPMs 1500--1800 (.7) with satisfactory yields but had a noticeable metallic taste.
I've run the same system------and same...
fingers crossed while asking this question.
I hope---- I hope you ( or anyone else) has a light meter running DE lights can tell me at what distance below is 10K fc (sunlight intensity).
btw---- aren't 10' ceilings wonderful?
A~~~
Well, not sure if anyone considers me a pro.:smile:
Anyway------problems await with that system----roots are going to clog those small holes.
If I were going to try a system like that-----I would use a minimum of 4" pvc everywhere.
Welcome to RIU.
A~~~
My conclusions also.
Once clones / seedlings are large enough for full strength nutes, I run at 1000 ppm (.7) bloom soup for both veg and flowering.
IMO, all these feeding charts make little difference, if any at all-----and even if following the charts increased yield a small amount----I...
