What did you use to connect the vinyl hose from the pvc pipe carrying the water from your res to the sprayers? Im talking about the little connectors in the pvc pipe. I don't see them listed on the parts list. Thanks

we have redone it so that the 1/2" pvc pipes are inside of the 5" square fence posts, then we simply drilled a hole (cant remember the size right now im high) that is a little smaller than the sprayer, tapped it then just screwed the sprayer right into the pvc pipe. no worries about leaks.
i will be back to post updates randomly for time to time but if you want further details or updates please follow the link in my sig, that will be updated more often. Questions will be answered faster than post updates so please PM me if you have a question

You should really look into stinkbud's aero unit, honestly you look like you have used much of his knowledge but I believe you are wasting money on the hydroton, get some neoprene holders and save the money on hydroton.
Great setup though... I like the parabolic reflector, I though about those but worried about heat, which a sealed air cooled unit gives me a little more comfort.

hey i think i saw his post originally awhile back but most of this has just been me thinking things through, now that you remind me though i must have first seen it on his post here. foam inserts are on their way, we just had a whole bag of hydrotron that needed some use so we used it. they suck, sleeves are much better for aero

finally got some clones in, the strains we have right now are: strawberry diesel, berry kush, ak-47, jack herer, skunk #1, sour diesel, chem 4, chem 4/OG, Reserve Privada, silver haze, pineapple express, rock lock, mango and i think thats it. still looking for 2-3 more
So far the conditions are: temp: 72* Humidity: 50-65% PPM: 248 PH: 5.9 water temp: 74* Co2 is on
system turns on every 3 hours for 1 hour of watering right now, just filled up the co2 tank and thats going now. everything is vegging under a 600w for right now
here is a video with what it looks like before clones

Is that 80* under the lights, or in the basement in general? Right in the temp zone for the CO2, but getting the humidity closer to 40% will increase the plants transpiration. Are you using frozen water bottles in the rez to control the temps? Swapping out a frozen gallon milk jug each day might do the job until a chiller can be purchased (worth the lost freezer space).
Have you had all the nozzles in that system on at once? How big is that reservoir? It appears you need to get that thing out from under the "table" (out of the grow room heat, in general - into the coolest spot in the basement) and lower the whole set-up. Utilizing a "waste controller" to get the drain water back into the rez instead of gravity will solve several issues.
