StinkBud, thanks for the reply. I agree with your responses but I also think i have solutions to the problems you have listed. First, why does it matter is if plants positions are static vs. passive? With a vertical grow no need to move plants since light is always being properly dispered from central area. Second, with regards to moving water upwards. I planned on putting res. on shelves level with each plant site. No need to pump water so high then. Third, with reagrds to plants growing into ceiling, just tie them down or use a scrog type setup; just controlt hem where you want them to grow to. Fourth, can NEVER have too much :weed: I am just trying to come up with a super efficent way of growing and i feel the VERTICAL grow is a very efficent way to grow that not too many people are on board with yet. Just my 2 cents worth. Thanks again for the input!

The clonex has a small amount of nutes. You won't want to keep your fast strains back. It's kind of funny though... Everyone start with worrying about not having enough clones but within month everyone will be worrying about what to do with all the clones they have.

I give away a lot of clones to other patients. I also will put one or two in soil just for shits and grins:weed:
I just did 15 clones yesterday and they all look good. Thanks so much. I'll post a pix later. you are so right about not knowing what to do with clones :weed: there's only so many holes in the flower system.

Well, I put them all in the cloner and so far so good. I figure a couple days in the cloner then I will move them into the veg unit.

Thanks stink, the thing im having trouble with is,
do i just leave these 10 plants that didnt make the veg unit in plain water still? my cloner is 24 holes and my veg is 14. so i will always have 10 plants that get left behind. but if i add nutes to the cloner with the 10 that got left behind, how can i put clones in there in a couple weeks?

and you are right i have cutting coming out the ying yang.....

also this strain called red grape is growing twice as fast as my ak-47s...wow
There is a small amount of nutrients in the Clonex. The clones won't be pretty but they will survive just fine. As soon as they go into veg they will grow like crazy!

Sounds like the RD is going to be the shit bro! AK grows fast as fuck. I only have one strain that outgrows it (Purple Silver).

Hi Stinkbud,

Thanks for the reply. I will NOT cut the roots! I may doulble up the posts not sure yet.
I am going to incorporate the CO2 system into the pvc framework. Made the CO2 system out of a welder gas selenoid and regulator hooked to Intermatic Timer. (selenoid 24 volts-ran by old laptop charger)

One more question! Do you have any idea how many spray nozzles the 396 GPH pump will run?

Thank you for your time!

You can get a slightly smaller pump. A 300 gph pump will work in the aerocloner which has 10 nozzles. I can tell you that 300 gph pump will NOT handle 20 nozzles but that a 500 gph can handle it pretty well.

So....300 gph - 10 nozzles
500 gph - 20 nozzles

I'd guess that a 400 gph pump can handle roughly 15 red EZ-Clone sprayer heads.

Hope that helps,
DP

Hey StinkBud - we have been very busy builders this weekend - take a look at our work in progress.
Got Pictures Today:
What we did:
Installed 240v Lines with a 20 Fuse Pull Switch for )easy/safe access.
Converted all our MH lights from 110 to 240 to save $ - 4amps to 2amps
Installed (2) 240v Electric Timers - Flower Room 12/12 - Mother Tray 18/6
Installed (5) 400w MH Lights and Ballasts - 4 for Flower Room, 1 Mother

Now we need to install the divider that will separate the Flower room from the Veg room and then install the air intake and out for each side of the room for Veg and Flower, along with the Carbon filter for smell :eyesmoke:.

My poor babies have been doing well through the contruction dust and movement. I hope they continue to do as well. Can you think of anything that I can improve or change with our set-up - all our friends here are welcome to comment in our grow room journal. :peace:

I have to say I am really proud of you guys. You're doing a great job! It's nice to hear about people working together. I image you guys had a fun time building it too.

I really dig seeing the photos dude! Keep'em coming...

Thanks for answering all my questions stinkbud.

Galo your room looks awesome!!

Hey guys,,, where im at the humidity outside has reached 86% and it looks like rain in the forecast in a day or two.
My flower room temp is between 61- 63deg daylight, its cold tonight, 56deg outside.
My humidity in the room is 67%.

The temp seems low, and can easily be fixed when i add another light soon. But the humidity seems high at 67%. My exhaust is running 24/7 and i have the oscilating fan blowing at all times.
but still the exhaust is sucking in cool humid outside air. If i turn off the exhaust fan it would probably warm up but then the humidity would go up.

I just picked up a dehumidifier at Frys for $150. I just plugged it in and came out and read this post. You must have ESP:shock:.

I have it set for 45-55%. It has a hose attachment in the back so I can have the water drain right back into one of the reservoirs (I need a hose).

I keep pushing the roots back into the fence post for the first few days until I get tired of it and just say fuck it and cut'em. I don't know why but cutting the roots dosn't effect the plants. Even the end plants. Weird but true...

Eventually they will grow into a mat covering the whole bottom of the fence post.

After a while you will have new tap roots growing out into the water. I don't cut them until I have to. The only thing you really have to watch out for is the roots getting sucked up into the pump.

The mat is made of a million little tiny root hairs. It turns black/brown from the nutrients. It's actually kind of cool looking. It dosn't look like any normal root system you have ever seen.

When I used to grow soil I would end up with this huge root ball. With Aero I end up with a little fuzzy afro;).

Hi Stink and friends

Great info and tutorial. Was wondering where do you get the neoprene inserts for the cloner? Can they be ordered online? THx in advanced for the info

I am looking to build one of these, I have read through the thread and seen what is needed, etc. However i have one major issue, i dont have the height available that this setup seems to need (im guessing that with even a 3' tall plant i will need 5')

My plan is to build a cloner, veg and flower. I am working with what will be divided into 2 sections, the clone/veg location, and the flower. I only want to do 3-4 plants. I have the 150w HPS light coming, and might get a fl for the veg/clone so my height requirement drops on that side...

Has anyone figured out how to make this setup "smaller" in terms of height, not plants, but just height, I know smaller containers will work, but if im doing 3-4 plants total, how large of a rubbermaid should i have?

Rubbermaid makes the same size containers only shorter. Since you only have a few plants, it would work great.

My little 6 hole unit is growing out of control right now. I vegged them for a month and I wouldn't be surprised to pull 10-12oz. just from that one harvest. It uses a little 10 gal res. The Aero/NFT systems can use any brand of container since there are no sprayers inside the res.

If you don't have a local store you can order them online. You can get the sprayers, pump, nutes and net pots all at the same time.

If you do have a local hydro store have them order the stuff for you and keep it in stock for when you need it. Always support your local community if possible!!!!

Always order twice as many sprayers as you need. That way you will always have a clean set to put in after every harvest.

Everyone is acting like I'm some kind of expert or something. You need to think of it like this. If you give a monkey a typewriter sooner or later he will type a word. Well I'm the monkey and the Aero system is my word...

So in reality I'm just an average Joe just like everyone else here. I've just been fucking up longer than most. I thought I would expose some of my stupid mistakes so you all know how I arrived where I am now. Plus they are really funny!

1) 1977, me and my buddy decide to become weed barons. We take a bunch of shitty Mexican seeds and throw them in the dirt. All of them sprouted and then died except for one.

We grew that plant until it was 10ft. tall! We were so fucking excited! Then it started to flower. We couldn't figure out where all the buds were. All there was was these little tiny yellow flowers.:o We didn't even know what a male plant was.

We harvested the plant and tried smoking it but we might as well been smoking a turd because it tasted like shit and gave us a headache....

2) I had a small grow going in my garage. I heard that urine was high in nitrogen and if you piss on you plants they will grow like crazy! Well that might be fine for outdoors but I was indoors.

So I pissed on a plant to try it out. The plant died and the piss stunk up the whole room. You only need like a teaspoon of piss per gallon and I must of pissed a half of a cup!

So I dried the buds and tried smoking some. Tasted just like piss....

3) I heard that organic nutes was the way to go and fish emulsion was the shit! So I tried it out. Sure enough the plants grew like crazy! I keep feeding them until the leaves where almost black/green and curling under. I figured if a little nutes is good a lot must be great!

I had yet to learn about flushing so I ran the plants hot as shit all the way to harvest. The harvest was actually pretty good. I dried the buds and tried them out. They tasted just like fish ass....

4) Back in the day I didn't know how to clone so I ran seeds. I was getting ready to move so I ran a seed batch to have plenty of seeds to get started at my next house.

I harvest all the seeds and put them in little film containers and packed them away with everything else. It took few months for our house to be finished so the seeds set in storage until I could start up my op again.

I finally got all moved in and set up. I opened the film containers and every fucking seed was completely molded and dead. I lost every seed I had! Oops...

5) One time I was up snowboarding at the mountain. I was setting in my car taking bong hits. I was right in the middle of a bong hit and looked to my left. There, one foot away was a cop watching the whole thing. It scared the shit out of me!!!

So I rolled down the window and tried not to blow all the smoke in his face. He made me get out and asked me for all my stash. All I had was this one huge dank bud. So he made take it out to the snow and stomp it in with my boot. He let me go but I was still bummed because that was my only stash.

So I went up riding some more and when I came down I thought, emmmm, I wonder if that bud it still in the snow where I stomped it. So I went over to look and started digging. Sure enough there was the bud! I was a little wet but in perfect shape. I dried it on the car heater and smoked it on the way home....

You guys having fun yet? Shall I go on?
