Did you build or buy the aero rail if you built I would like some specs

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.

search google for stinkbuds and you will find the stinkbud site, its great site for aero specific grows.

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

got two more strains of clones, 3 ended up dying, they are romulan and OG abusive kush. plants are doing well, some little guys need to hurry it up a bit


temp:80* Humidity:54% PPM:600 PH:5.9 water temp: warm! we need a chiller!

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.

switched to 12/12 today, added screen for scrog, ill get some better pictures tomorrow.

temp:84* Humidity:54% PPM:950 PH:5.8 co2 is on

Day 14:

temp:84* Humidity:54% PPM:950 PH:5.8 co2 is on

they r getting so big, cant wait to see little buds start to pop up everywhere rep+ for ur setup too you squeezed so many plants in i love it

Day 24:


temp:86* Humidity:55% PPM:1200 PH:5.9 co2 is on (but its been off for awhile because its been out and weve been too lazy to get it)

still looking great godfather

thanks hattown, actually just cut holes in the ceiling so the heat from the lights is exhausted and taken from outside the room like usual. i dont know why we didnt do this before but oh well

atleast you got it done now haha keep er growing

Day 36:

temp:82* Humidity:55% PPM:1000 PH:5.8 co2n
