    I bet it'd fit in the connectors, but it definitely wouldn't seal. I'd suggest not trying to put any fittings in or anything, it just increases the chance of a leak. Also, beware that the corrugations will pick up salts and keep them from your nutrients. It works just like gold panning. I'd...

    I really blow at taking pictures.

    Haha, not busted. Not yet at least. Luckily, the state of Ohio is pretty easy on marijuana. I can have up to 1k grams before it's considered a felony. Taking pictures and stuff is a bitch, especially with this setup. I dug around and found my charger, so I'll get some pictures soon. I'm not...

    Yeah, I've been making due with it for a long time now. It's definitely on my to-do list behind a carbon filter and a bigger light. My room is starting to get a little skunky. The problems I was getting is because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. I've gotten to a point that I know the...

    Gypsy, you're close. Basically, the big room I have up I'm going to keep up. I'm also a guitar builder, so I'm going to grab a few unfinished guitar bodies and bring the up. On the day of the inspection, I'm going to hang them up and stage the plastic room as a spray booth. Certain finishes and...

    Thanks. I'll have to get some newer pictures of it. I'm finally getting it all running nicely. Although, the worst of worst kind of came up. For some reason the city I'm in needs to inspect the gas line pipes in the house. They do it every three years. So I'm going to have to move my entire...

    Cheap tubing for 'Heath-type' grow.

    Cues, it's like 35 bucks for 50 feet. I used it. Check it out. https://www.rollitup.org/vertical-growing/524679-pyros-vertical-rdwc.html

    As long as the roots and stuff are touching the water, it really doesn't matter as much as you'd think. You can run this like a big NFT system if you wanted. If the plant has contact with water, it'll be okay.

    Good thing I'm not having any heat problems :-P. It's a 4 foot diameter octagon. The plants tend to grow towards the center so there's about a foot to a foot and a half.

    The jack just had some stress earlier in veg, but the rest aren't really droopy. I'm not sure if you have any vertical experience, but the leaves tilt to the light. That might be what you're seeing. Blocker, corrugated pipe and fittings aren't meant to be water tight. I went with the design...

    Free Grow Software!

    Just a thought for the dev team; a cell phone application would be fucking insane. I personally don't grow anywhere near my computer, and writing stuff down to put it on my computer is double handling. If this was an app for my phone, that'd be incredible.

    Oh yeah. Flooded tube tent design help.

    This is true, but with such a large diameter, you can crawl into the center of the vertical setup to place plants. There isn't really any maintenance that I do once my plants are in my system. After I introduce them to the system, I think the next thing I actually do to them is harvest them. I...

    Here's the cluster mother \/ Jamaican Dream mother \/ to the right Fucked up JAck mother. Been flushing for a week now, so I'll get it back to nutrients. And here is how I change my levels. I've had a few people ask and I think everyone's been thinking too hard!

    I'm not very concerned about the temperature. It caused some algae growth early on, but that was solved with plugging the holes with aluminum foil to keep the light out. Even then, the algae wasn't causing any issues with my plants. I'm going to try and consider some alternate ways to put...

    OG, I alter the levels by sticking 'shims' under the pipe before it goes down to the next level. It just humps it up over, and raises water level. I couldn't ever figure out a better way, and this way I don't have to build something that'll fuck up. I've been working on just getting this...

    I think running 2 octagons instead of one would be more efficient. You lose 2 'sides' if you make it one big oval. What you could do, is just make a single octagon, but make 4 full rows and run your 600 watters stacked on top of each other. That'd save some room and would still have a huge...

    Well, I've got Cluster, Jamaican Dream, Jack, Chemdog, Hawaiian Snow, and Vanilla Kush. I'd bet a or two in 5 gallon buckets of coco would be plenty. Once they start getting big, taking 4-5 clones a week isn't a big deal. I'm slowly getting it filled as we speak. I was having issues with...

    All I did was make octagons. I just cut all my sides of the octagon to length, then clamped a block onto my miter saw so I could shove them on, and cut them without measuring. The octagons became the shelves for the pipe to sit on. I used bailing wire to tie it down in some places, but it'll sit...

    Tree grow with sog

    I'd suggest just figure out a hydroponic solution for the clones too. I think it'd be a huge pain in the ass to pull them out, water them, and put them back. You could just do a simple flooded tube or something.

    TheBoy, I tried PVC too, and it's just tough. I didn't ever build a jig or anything though. It'd be nice to have this out of PVC, but this stuff works. The only downside is the corrugation. I had issues with algae growing in the corrugation, but it didn't cause any harm. It seemed like it...
